Abstract
An apparatus including at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to identify at least one of a plurality of user equipment based on a pre-determined channel quality. A determination is made that point-to-point efficiency is greater than point-to-multipoint efficiency. At least one identified UE with worse channel condition is switched from point-to-multipoint to point-to-point.
