Network coded multiuser uplink MIMO channels have been discussed in this paper. A three slots transmission is considered here and spatial division multiple access (SDMA) has been employed to serve multiuser simultaneously. Minimum mean-square-error successive interference cancelation (MMSE-SIC) is applied in the first two slots and singular value decomposition (SVD) is applied for the third slots. In order to get the optimal performance, user scheduling, decoding ordering and user pairing need to be considered. However, the optimal exhaust searching algorithm is too complex to implement. We propose a low complexity scheme to solve this problem and the simulation results show the performance gain. The proposed scheme is promising in the real systems.
