Abstract
We consider the proportional fair rate allocation in
an 802.11 WLAN that supports multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO)
transmission by one or more stations. We characterise, for the
first time, the proportional fair allocation of MU-MIMO spatial
streams and station transmission opportunities. While a number
of features carry over from the case without MU-MIMO, in
general neither flows nor stations need to be allocated equal
airtime when MU-MIMO is available.
