Abstract
A system and method for coordinating interference in cellular systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a cellular base station interference coordinator includes an interference estimator. The interference estimator estimates a level of interference caused by transmissions controlled by a host base station for each of a plurality of radio resources, and provides interference estimates corresponding to the radio resources to a target base station. Each interference estimate is based on transmit power and channel strength to the target base station for each transmission controlled by the host base station for a radio resource.
