Systems and methods for mitigating intercell interference by coordinated scheduling amongst neighboring cells

A computer-readable medium encoded with computer-executable instructions for mitigating interference amongst neighboring base stations, which when executed, performs a method comprising:

• acquiring interference metrics from one or more user equipment at a first base station;
• generating an aggregate representation from the acquired interference metrics;
• acquiring the aggregate representation at a network resource controller;
• determining an interference reduction associated with a second base station for each of the user equipment serviced by the first base station;
• determining a power schedule for the first base station based on the aggregate representation and the determined interference reduction;
• and
• modifying a power schedule for the second base station based on the determined interference reduction.

A computer-implemented method for mitigating interference amongst neighboring base stations, the method comprising:

• acquiring interference metrics from one or more user equipment at a first base station;
• generating an aggregate representation from the acquired interference metrics;
• acquiring the aggregate representation at a network resource controller;
• determining an interference reduction associated with a second base station for each of the user equipment serviced by the first base station;
• determining a power schedule for the first base station based on the aggregate representation and the determined interference reduction;
• and
• modifying a power schedule for the second base station based on the determined interference reduction.

A network resource controller for mitigating interference amongst neighboring base stations, the network resource controller comprising:

• at least one memory;
• at least one processor;
• and
• a data communications component,
• wherein the network resource controller is configured to:
• acquire an aggregate representation of user equipment interference metrics from a first base station;
• determine an interference reduction associated with a second base station for each of the user equipment;
• determine a power schedule for the first base station based on the aggregate representation and the determined interference reduction;
• and
• modify a power schedule for the second base station based on the determined interference reduction.
