Abstract
A wireless communication network uses Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO). Network circuitry stores geographic data that indicates geographic containers. Transceiver circuitry wirelessly receives network signaling from User Equipment (UEs) located in the geographic containers. The network circuitry processes the network signaling to determine UE MU-MIMO correlation factors between the UEs and associate the UE MU-MIMO correlation factors with the geographic containers. The network circuitry processes the UE MU-MIMO correlation factors associated with the geographic containers to determine container MU-MIMO correlation factors between the geographic containers. The network circuitry selects UEs for MU-MIMO based on their container MU-MIMO correlation factors. The transceiver circuitry wirelessly transfers MU-MIMO signals to the UEs that were selected based on their container MU-MIMO correlation factors.
