Scheduling and coordination in a wireless network

A user equipment (UE) comprising:

• a receiver;
• and
• a processor;
• the receiver and the processor are configured to simultaneously receive a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) streams from a first base station and detect data from the received plurality of streams;
• the receiver and the processor are configured to, based on detected data from the first base station, simultaneously receive and detect data from an OFDM stream from the first base station and an OFDM stream from a second base station;
• and
• the receiver and the processor are configured to, based on detected data from the second base station, simultaneously receive and detect data from a plurality of OFDM streams from the second base station and detected data from the received plurality of streams from the first base station.

A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

• simultaneously receiving a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) streams from a first base station and detecting data from the received plurality of streams;
• detecting data from the first base station and simultaneously receiving and detecting data from an OFDM stream from the first base station and an OFDM stream from a second base station;
• and
• detecting data from the second base station and simultaneously receiving and detecting data from a plurality of OFDM streams from the second base station and detecting data from the received plurality of streams.

At least one non-transient computer readable medium containing program instructions to perform a method of:

• simultaneously receiving a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) streams from a first base station and detecting data from the received plurality of streams;
• detecting data from the first base station and simultaneously receiving and detecting data from an OFDM stream from the first base station and an OFDM stream from a second base station;
• and
• detecting data from the second base station and simultaneously receiving and detecting data from a plurality of OFDM streams from the second base station and detecting data from the received plurality of streams.
