In a radio network in which multiple base stations can communicate with multiple user terminals in a coordinated way, user terminals may be grouped into groups, each group representing a coordination scheme to be used for user terminals in the group. The groups may be chosen, for example, according to path loss or QoS requirements Preferably there are three groups requiring no coordination, multiuser coherent coordination and single user coherent coordination respectively. Grouping may be done dynamically according to one or more of the following factors: —the terminal's signalling overhead—the affordable processing complexity—the traffic load—the radio conditions. The grouping unit may be placed in one or more base stations or in any other suitable unit in the network.
