Abstract

In this paper, we consider a multiple dimension resources allocation problem, including user grouping in the spatial domain and resource blocks (RBs) allocation in the time-frequency domain, in a frequency-division-duplexing (FDD) massive MIMO system. We formulate an optimization problem on joint user grouping and resource allocation to maximize the system capacity. Then, we propose two user grouping methods with load balance to fully use the resources in each user group and a corresponding greedy resource allocation algorithm to verify the effectiveness of the user grouping methods. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed schemes can obtain better performance over the existing ones and the optimal number of scheduled users can be obtained.
