Control of access terminal operation based on interference information

A wireless communications apparatus, comprising:

• a memory that retains instructions to:
• obtain interference information corresponding to a base station and at least one neighbor base station via a transmission from the base station, and
• control an operation of an access terminal based on the interference information corresponding to the base station and the at least one neighbor base station, wherein the memory further retains instructions to:
• adjust a transmit power of the access terminal based on the interference information corresponding to the base station and the at least one neighbor base station, and
• adjust the transmit power of the access terminal as a function of channel gain to the base station, weighted channel gains to one or more of the at least one neighbor base station, and weighted interference information;
• and
• a processor, coupled to the memory, configured to execute the instructions retained in the memory.
