Abstract
A system and method of scheduling communication in a wireless communication network are provided. A first access node can receive an uplink scheduling request from a wireless device. The first access node can receive a first interference indicator from a second access node when the wireless device is located at the cell edge. A first scheduling scheme for the first access node and a second scheduling scheme for the second access node can be determined based on the uplink scheduling request and the interference indicator. The uplink portions of the first scheduling scheme do not overlap the uplink portions of the second scheduling scheme. The first access node can instruct the wireless device to communicate uplink data to the first access node during the uplink portions of the first scheduling scheme and to communicate uplink data to the second access node during the uplink portions of the second scheduling scheme.
