Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
obtaining, by a transmit-receive point (TRP), a set of power metrics for multiple UEs including a served UE and one or more helped UEs, wherein each power metric is estimated from multiple channel quality and performance indicators of one of the multiple UEs;
calculating a performance metric as a function of at least one of the multiple channel quality and performance indicators of the served UE;
calculating an interference metric as a function of the set of power metrics, the interference metric indicating an amount of interference from the TRP that is experienced by the one or more helped UEs;
determining whether to perform coordinated beamforming based on the performance metric and the interference metric; and
determining one or more precoders based on the determination of whether to perform the coordinated beamforming.
