Apparatus and method for automatically controlling interference in broadband wireless communication system

An apparatus of a Base Station (BS) for interference control in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

• an interference measurement information processor for receiving an interference measurement information signal of one or more adjacent BSs and for analyzing the interference measurement information signal of the one or more adjacent BSs to obtain information about the average power for each frequency band used by each of the one or more adjacent BSs;
• and
• a power mask determiner for using the obtained information about the average power for each frequency band of the one or more adjacent BSs to determine the average power for each frequency band to be used by the BS.

An apparatus of a Mobile Station (MS) for interference control in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

• a frame synchronization signal processor for receiving a Base Station (BS)-MS synchronization signal from a BS;
• and
• an interference measurement information receiver for receiving a receive/report request for an inter-BS synchronization signal transmitted by one or more adjacent BSs from the BS, for receiving the inter-BS synchronization signal from the one or more adjacent BSs, for transmitting synchronization signal receive (RX) report to the BS, for receiving a receive/report request for an interference measurement information signal transmitted by the one or more adjacent BSs from the BS, for receiving the interference measurement information signal from the one or more adjacent BSs, and for transmitting an interference measurement information signal RX report to the BS.
