Abstract
This article discusses some performance issues about space-time scheduling applied to packet data shared channels. Beamforming adaptive antennas (AA) and Spatial Division Multiple Access (SDMA) strategies were evaluated through system-level simulations considering different scheduling algorithms. Throughput fairness among users is discussed and the best antenna and scheduling algorithm configurations considering both capacity and fairness are shown.
