A method for interference mitigation for femtocell base stations of a WiMAX network, wherein the femtocell base station is located within the transmission range of at least one macrocell base station and/or at least one other femtocell base station, is characterized in that the femtocell base station performs downlink measurements to detect neighboring macrocell and/or femtocell base stations and reports results of the downlink measurements to at least one higher layer network controller, wherein the network controller allocates transmission parameters to the WiMAX femtocell base stations on the basis of at least the reported measurement results and the current resource occupation in the network.
Method for interference mitigation for femtocell base stations of a Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) network, wherein said femtocell base station is located within the transmission range of at least one macrocell base station and/or at least one other femtocell base station, characterized in that said femtocell base station performs downlink measurements to detect neighboring macrocell and/or femtocell base stations and reports results of said downlink measurements to at least one higher layer network controller, wherein said network controller allocates transmission parameters to said WiMAX femtocell base stations on the basis of at least said reported measurement results and the current resource occupation in said network.
