Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In a distributed antenna network, a large number of antennas are distributed over a base station coverage area (cell). However, from a practical view point of network construction cost, the actual number of antennas to be distributed is limited. In this case, if the number of active users in the cell exceeds the number of antennas (i.e., an overloaded environment), the communication quality may degrade. In such a case, it may be effective to introduce user scheduling, where active users are divided into several user groups to which the radio resources are assigned in either time or frequency division principle. However, since the optimal user scheduling depends on the antenna deployment layout and user distribution, it will be difficult to find the optimal scheduling pattern if the number of users and that of antennas are large. In this paper, we propose the quantum annealing-based user scheduling. Quantum annealing is specialized in solving combinational optimization problems among quantum computing that has been attracting attention in recent years. We formulate QUBO for user scheduling taking into account the antenna location information. We evaluate the user capacity, the sum capacity, and the fairness among users by computer simulation to show the effectiveness of interference coordination by quantum computing.
