Figure 3: Number of MS served versus edge-of-cell SNR for $N=M=4$. Note that the iterative, and the centralized $|{𝒬}_{G\mathrm{,}H\mathrm{,}{C}_R}|$-maximizing approaches both schedule a relatively constant number of users, while the centralized and iterative capacity-maximizing approaches schedule fewer users as the SNR increases. The conventional approach schedules $N$ users, regardless of the conditions. The statistical rate constraint was $C_R=4\text{b}/\text{s}/\text{Hz.}$
