Abstract
At least one example embodiment discloses a method of scheduling communications in a network having a plurality of base stations covering cells, respectively. The method includes obtaining a first coordination matrix, by a first base station, based on channel state information from at least one user equipment (UE), the first coordination matrix indicating scheduling information and first weights associated with subband transmissions for the first base station, transmitting the first coordination matrix to at least another base station of the plurality of base stations, receiving, by the first base station, a second coordination matrix from the at least another base station, the second coordination matrix indicating second weights associated with subband transmissions for the second base station, and transmitting, by the first base station, in subbands where the associated first weights are greater than the associated second weights.
