Abstract
Aspects of this disclosure relate to forming clusters of user equipments and network nodes. A first cluster of first user equipments and first network nodes in a first section can be formed for a time slot. A second cluster of second user equipments and second network nodes in a second section can be formed for the time slot such that the first user equipments are protected from interference associated with the second cluster. During the time slot, the first section has higher priority than the second section. Multiple-input multiple-output wireless communications can occur during the time slot (a) from the first network nodes to the first user equipments and (b) from the second network nodes to the second user equipments.
