Abstract
Systems and methods provide for applying a clustering based assignment algorithm (CbAA) in a telecommunication system. A method includes: receiving strength information for transmission points belonging to an associated Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP)-cell; determining the clustering subsets, wherein the step of determining the clustering subsets includes: applying a k-means algorithm to the strength information to form K clusters; identifying the cluster associated with each UE; associating a cluster to each transmission point in accordance to a pre-defined rule; and selecting the UEs to be serviced; and reporting the clustering formations.
