Claim 7:
8. A base station, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing computer executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the base station to:
divide M UEs into N groups, wherein a distance metric between each UE in a group and a center of the group does not exceed a first predetermined threshold, where M and N are positive integers, and M≥N;
pair the N groups, wherein a distance metric between centers of the paired groups is greater than a second predetermined threshold; and
in a case where there is a group paired with a group to which a first UE for which scheduling is to be performed belongs, schedule transmissions in different directions respectively for the first UE and a second UE from the paired group on a same time-frequency resource.
