Abstract

Aspects of this disclosure relate to user equipment rate selection. Sum rates can be compared including and excluding a candidate layer. Based on the comparison, the candidate layer can be included in a layer set. Rate selection for user equipments of a cluster can be performed based on the layer set. In certain applications, user equipment rate selection can be performed for multiple clusters of user equipments and network nodes. In such applications, inter-cluster interference can be nulled.
