Claim 9:
10. A method performed by a user equipment configured as a coordinating user equipment for a disengaged-mode-user-equipment coordination set in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
receiving, by the user equipment, an indication to transition to a disengaged mode;
receiving, by the user equipment, a request message from a base station directing the user equipment to join the disengaged-mode-user-equipment coordination set comprising multiple user equipment in the disengaged mode;
transitioning, by the user equipment, to the disengaged mode;
receiving baseband samples from at least one of the multiple user equipment in the disengaged-mode-user-equipment coordination set, the baseband samples corresponding to data intended for one or more of the multiple user equipment included in the disengaged-mode-user-equipment coordination set and received by the at least one user equipment in the disengaged-mode-user-equipment coordination set;
aggregating the baseband samples to provide a combined baseband signal;
jointly processing the combined baseband signal to decode the data intended for the one or more of the multiple user equipment; and
forwarding the decoded data to the one or more of the multiple user equipment.
