Drones are attracting attention as a means to complement terrestrial base stations and rapidly establish coverage areas during disasters in 6G and future wireless systems . In communication systems employing multiple drones cooperatively, a Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) environment can be established between a group of drones and user equipment (UE) equipped with multiple receive antennas. While Reference proposes a clustering method based on Zero-Forcing (ZF) that considers transmission capacity, it does not account for scenarios where the UE employs multiple antennas. In this paper, we propose a clustering method utilizing Block Diagonalization (BD) for cases where the UE uses multiple antennas.
