Method and apparatus for inter-cell interference coordination in a wireless communication system

A method of performing interference management by a first cell in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• generating an interference management message including first information on an uplink interference overload indication (UL IOI) of the first cell and second information corresponding to a bitmap having a plurality of bits for indicating applicability of the UL IOI of the first cell in each of a plurality of subframes;
• and
• transmitting the interference management message,
• wherein the first information and the second information are transmitted to a second cell for an uplink or a downlink scheduling of the second cell.

A base station performing interference management in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

• a processor configured to generate an interference management message including first information on an uplink interference overload indication (UL IOI) of a first cell and second information corresponding to a bitmap having a plurality of bits for indicating applicability of the UL IOI in each of a plurality of subframes;
• and
• a transmitter configured to transmit the interference management message,
• wherein the first information and the second information are transmitted to a second cell for an uplink or a downlink scheduling of the second cell.
