Abstract

Feedback information is received from user equipments served by jointly processed data streams of a coordinated multipoint transmission at each base station of base stations serving the jointly processed data streams, and scheduling data is decided for the user equipments based on the feedback information and scheduling rules. The scheduling rules may be determined at least in part by one of the base stations and scheduling decisions by the base stations may be synchronized. Scheduling decisions may be transferred via a backhaul link and/or over the air, which may include scheduling decisions for future transmission time intervals.
