FIELD: radio engineering, communication.SUBSTANCE: systems and methods which facilitate dynamic formation of clusters in a wireless communication system are described. A set of non-overlapping clusters can be formed dynamically over time and in a distributed manner. Each of the clusters can include a set of base stations and a set of mobile devices. The clusters can be formed based on a set of local strategies selected by base stations in the network converged through message forwarding. For example, each base station can select a particular local strategy depending on time based on network-wide utility estimates respectively conditioned upon implementation of the particular local strategy and different possible local strategies which can include the corresponding base station. Also, operation within each of the clusters can be coordinated.EFFECT: sharing data between base stations.41 cl, 21 dwg |
