1. A method performed by a network component for serving one or more user equipment (UEs) experiencing inter-transmission point group (TPG) interference in a wireless network, the method comprising:

  • selecting a set of transmission points (TPs) from a plurality of TPGs in a network to serve an edge UE (EU) experiencing inter-TPG interference at a plurality of resource units (RUs), the plurality of TPGs comprising a first TPG and a second TPG, wherein the EU experiences inter-TPG interference from the first TPG at a first RU and experiences inter-TPG interference from the second TPG at a second RU, and wherein the set of TPs is selected according to a metric associated with the EU including a channel condition of the EU;

    grouping the selected set of TPs into a first TPG patch (TPGP) for the first RU and a second TPGP for the second RU, the first TPGP comprising one or more TPs of the first TPG, and the second TPGP comprising one or more TPs of the second TPG; and

    performing transmission coordination for the EU between the one or more TPs of the first TPGP and other terminals of the network at the first RU and transmission coordination for the EU between the one or more TPs of the second TPGP and other terminals of the network at the second RU.
