Abstract: An apparatus, at a network entity, for scheduling multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) transmissions to a co-scheduled set of user equipment (UEs) from an antenna array comprising multiple panels is disclosed. The apparatus comprises: a processor; a memory communicatively coupled to the processor; and executable instructions code stored in the memory, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: determine a reduced set of entries of panel-to-UE assignment from among multiple combinations of panel-to-UE assignment; and select, from within the reduced set, an entry of the panel-to-UE assignment for scheduling, based on a proportionately fair (PF) metric, wherein a panel-to-UE assignment is a mapping of the panels assigned to transmit to a selection of the UEs using associated serving beams configured for transmission to the respective UEs.
