Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for MCS and/or rank selection for UE jointly served by BSs in a CoMP cluster. As described herein, MCS and/or rank selection may be based, at least in part, on the inter-cluster interference and intra-cluster interference experienced by the UE. According to aspects, a CoMP scheduler may assign a UE served by BSs in a CoMP cluster to one of a first group of UEs or a second group of UEs based, at least in part, on inter-cluster and intra-cluster interference experienced by the UE. The scheduler may assign at least one of a MCS or rank selection to the UE based, at least in part, on the assigned group. The scheduler may provide an indication, to one or more BSs in the CoMP cluster, of the at least one MCS or rank selection assigned to the UE.
