Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a beamforming device ( 200 ), including: a first beamforming circuit ( 201 ) configured to generate a first beam ( 211 ) based on a first set of beamforming coefficients; a second beamforming circuit ( 202 ) configured to generate a second beam ( 212 ) based on a second set of beamforming coefficients; and a scheduling circuit ( 203 ) configured to allocate ( 204, 206 ) a first set of frequency resources, a second set of frequency resources, the first set of beamforming coefficients and the second set of beamforming coefficients to a plurality of mobile stations (UE 0,  UE 1,  UE 2 ) based on an optimality criterion related to a target scheduling metric.

Claim (Index 22):
A device for allocating a plurality of beamformers to a plurality of mobile stations, the device comprising:\n a circuit configured to determine a target scheduling metric based on channel quality index (CQI) reports of the plurality of mobile stations with respect to a set of reported beam directions and a set of frequency resources; a circuit configured to select a beam direction of the set of reported beam directions based on an optimality criterion with respect to the target scheduling metric; a circuit configured to allocate the set of frequency resources to the selected beam direction; and a circuit configured to iteratively repeat the selecting and the allocating based on an update of the target scheduling metric which is determined based on the reported beam directions excluding the selected beam directions.
