The aim of the thesis was the design and implementation of a novel MIMO scheduler in C++. Firstly, the state-of-the-art in scheduling for OFDMA-MIMO systems was analysed then a new scheduler based on PF scheduler was designed and implemented. Lastly, simulation results were produced to prove the correctness and to assess the performance of the proposed solution. systems was analysed then a new scheduler based on PF scheduler was designed and implemented.
