Abstract

In this letter, we present the exact sum-rate analysis of the multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with zero-forcing transmit beamforming (ZFBF). We develop the analytical expressions of the ergodic sum-rate for two low-complexity user selection strategies for the dual-transmitantenna scenario. Based on the analytical results, we examine the parameter optimization problem to properly trade off between channel power gain and directional gain in term of maximizing the ergodic sum rate.
