Abstract
A description of an interface and a system/method is provided to combine frequency, time and power domain resource partitioning between neighbor small cells whereby these cells can execute the resource partitioning, without resorting to a centralized management system, simply by periodically sharing topology-related and interference related information with one another. Such a scheme allows resource partitioning to be executed in real-time as more small cells are deployed into the network.
