1. A method for selecting between uplink waveforms, the method comprising:
configuring a first plurality of wireless sectors deployed within a cell site to utilize different uplink waveforms according to a predetermined scheme;
configuring a second plurality of wireless sectors deployed within a neighboring cell site to utilize the different uplink waveforms according to the predetermined scheme, such that an overlap is minimized of uplink signals from wireless devices in opposite facing wireless sectors from among the first and second pluralities of wireless sectors, the predetermined scheme comprising rotating between a first uplink waveform of the different uplink waveforms and a second uplink waveform of the different uplink waveforms by setting a starting offset for scheduling the first uplink waveform; and
determining the starting offset based on a proportion of resource blocks utilizing the first uplink waveform relative to a total amount of resource blocks available in each sector of the first and second pluralities of wireless sectors.
