DETERMINING A CLUSTER SET OF MOBILE DEVICES

摘要

Mechanisms for determining a cluster set of mobile devices are disclosed. A controller node (12A) identifies a primary mobile device (14-7) that has a scheduled transmission for the controller node at a first time. The controller node identifies, from a plurality of mobile devices (14-1...14-6), a set of eligible assistant, EA, mobile devices (14-3...14-6). Each EA mobile device in the set is directed to determine a corresponding mobile device-to-mobile device, MD-MD, channel indicator that identifies a quality of a channel between the each EA mobile device and the primary mobile device. The controller node receives from at least one EA mobile device in the set the corresponding MD-MD channel indicator. The controller node then determines a cluster set that includes the primary mobile device and the at least one EA mobile device.
