DBS categorizesusers according to their equivalent distance to the antenna array.Such categorization effectively accounts for inter-user interference while largely reducing the computational burden. Resultsshow that (i) DBS achieves the same performance as the referencezero-forcing beamforming scheme with a lower complexity; (ii)a simplified version of DBS achieves a similar performancewhen realistic spherical-wavefront (SW) propagation features areconsidered; (iii) SW propagation brings additional degrees offreedom, which allows for increasing the number of served users PB IEEE YR 2021 FD 2021-08-02 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/29312 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/29312 LA eng NO J.
