Abstract: An apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium performing estimating spatial overlap of beams associated with one or more combinations of at least two user devices of a plurality of user devices of a mobile communications system based, at least in part, on angular direction of radiated power of the user devices, wherein the user devices include candidate user devices to be scheduled on a network resource for multi user channel transmission; and determining scheduling metrics associated with the one or more combinations of the at least two user devices of the plurality of user devices based on the estimated spatial overlap.
