The proposed technology involves a mechanism for selecting, for a user, access points for coordinated multipoint (COMP) uplink reception. The method comprises obtaining, for each of a number of candidate access points, at least one uplink measurement result. The method also involves combining candidate access points to form at least two different sets of access points from the candidate access points. The method comprises estimating, for each one of the at least two different sets of access points, an uplink quality measure based on the uplink measurement results of the considered set of access points, and determining, for each one of the at least two different sets of access points, a measure representative of the number of transmission opportunities available to the user for the considered set of access points over a given period of time. The method also comprises selecting which one of the at least two different sets of access points to use for COMP uplink reception based on the uplink quality measure and the measure representative of the number of transmission opportunities available to the user over the given period of time. |
