<p>A method of scheduling coordination among cells in a cellular wireless network involving multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) communication. A first scheduling process selects user equipment within the said cell to be served by a coordinating group of cells in the network, and a second scheduling process group of cells to serve as a coordinating group for the user equipment, for which measurements are sent by the selected user equipment. The second scheduling process determines which group of cells, from a set of all possible groups of cells, provides the best value of a particular selection parameter used. The selection parameter may, for example be dependent upon the long-term link power coupling weights PW(ci) and spatial correlation weights d(ci) between user equipment in the cells.</p> |
