Abstract:
A method for improving signal to noise ratio in an uplink transmission. The method includes determining a plurality of combinations of “N” possible users to be selected among “X” users that are transmitting signals to a base station comprising “n” number of antennas, where n>=N, wherein selected “N” users transmit on a same sub-carrier; computing signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the signals received from each of the users among the determined combination of “N” possible users; and selecting at least one combination among the plurality of combinations of “N” possible users, such that, a combined signal to noise ratio of the selected combination is maximum among all combinations.

Claim (Index 24):
A method for accommodating multiple users transmitting on a same sub-carrier to a base station comprising n antennas, the method comprising:\n computing precoder determination algorithm (PDA) values corresponding to \u201cX\u201d users, wherein for each of the \u201cX\u201d users \u201cn\u201d such PDA values are computed, wherein the PDA values [V,\u0398]=\u03c8[U, h, k] where \u201cV\u201d is a precoder matrix used for transmitting bits, \u201c\u0398\u201d is a scalar value, \u201cU\u201d is a unitary matrix, \u201ch\u201d is a channel matrix of that user and \u201ck\u201d is a value from 1 to \u201cn\u201d, thereby resulting in X*n PDA values; identifying a maximum value of \u201c\u0398\u201d for each value of \u201ck\u201d, thereby resulting in \u201cn\u201d maximum values of \u201c\u0398\u201d from the X*n PDA values; and selecting the users to which the \u201cn\u201d maximum values of \u201c\u0398\u201d correspond, to transmit to a base station through two antennas in a same sub-carrier, wherein each of the selected users is allowed to transmit \u201cm\u201d number of bits to the base station, where \u201cm\u201d is the number of maximum values of \u201c\u0398\u201d out of \u201cn\u201d maximum values of \u201c\u0398\u201d, corresponding to respective selected user.
