Abstract

Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are described to use multi-finger beamforming for multimeter wave communications. A base station associates with first and second user equipment. Weight sum rates are determined for the user equipment. Transmissions are scheduled to the user equipment based on the weight sum rates. Data is encoded for the first user equipment and transmitted based on the schedule. Data is encoded for the second user equipment and transmitted based on the schedule. The transmissions are multiplexed in the power domain.
