Abstract
A wireless communication system with femtocells and a method for mitigating inter-cell interference in the wireless communication system are provided. The interference control method includes notifying a mobile station of entry to a home cell, when the mobile station enters a macrocell including a femto base station with which the mobile station is registered, transmitting, by the mobile station, a femtocell driving control message to the femto base station at a predetermined transmission power, when the mobile station enters a femtocell of the femto base station, and switching on, by the femto base station, a transmitter, when the femtocell driving control message is received.
