Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for managing a COMP set in a communication system employing an ASA scheme. According to the method, change information about an affected cell is received, wherein the change information uses an ASA frequency band and overlaps with a protected area of a primary system authorized with the ASA frequency band. The change information is then sent to a serving node coordinating transmission within constituent cells of a CoMP set, to indicate a change of the CoMP set, wherein the affected cell is one of the constituent cells of the CoMP set.
