Systems and methods for usage-based radio resource management of self-optimizing cells

A computer-implemented method for allocating at least one frequency resource based on historical usage data, the method comprising:

• tracking a local access node usage pattern to generate a first set of usage pattern metrics at a first transceiver device in a network;
• receiving a frequency resource allocation plan;
• allocating the at least one frequency resource based at least in part on the first set of usage pattern metrics and the frequency resource allocation plan;
• receiving at the first transceiver device a second set of usage pattern metrics from a second transceiver device;
• predicting a probability of cochannel interference based on the first set of usage pattern metrics and the second set of usage pattern metrics;
• and
• determining a preferred channel list based on the predicted probability.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions for allocating at least one frequency resource based on historical usage data, which when executed, performs the method comprising:
