Low-Complexity User Selection for Rate Maximization in MIMO Broadcast Channels with Downlink Beamforming by Eduardo Castañeda, Adão Silva, Ramiro Samano-Robles, Atílio Gameiro

“…The proposed algorithm exploits physical metrics of the wireless channels that can be easily computed in such a way that a null space projection power can be approximated efficiently. Based on the derived metrics we present a mathematical model that describes the dynamics of the user selection process which renders the user selection problem into an integer linear program. …”
