A mobile station for reporting channel quality information for multi-cell cooperation, the mobile station comprising:

• a transceiver configured to transmit and receive radio signals;
• and
• a processor operatively coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
• instruct the transceiver to receive a channel quality request message for requesting channel quality information from a base station, the channel quality request message indicating that the mobile station is one of a plurality of candidate mobile stations to perform multi-cell cooperation;
• and
• instruct the transceiver to report the channel quality information to the base station,
• wherein the channel quality information includes first channel quality information for the base station and second channel quality information for a neighboring base station.
