Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for backhaul enhancements for cooperative multi-point (CoMP) operations. An aggressor node may take pre-scheduling decisions in advance of beamformed data transmissions based on the pre-scheduling decisions. The aggressor node may communicate the pre-scheduling decisions to one or more victim nodes, for example, via a backhaul link between the aggressor node and the one or more victim nodes. A victim node may take scheduling decisions based at least on the pre-scheduling decisions of the aggressor node to coordinate beamformed transmissions from the victim node with the beamformed transmissions from the aggressor node.
