Abstract

The present invention concerns a method and system for reducing co-channel interference due to the deployment of N femtocells in a macrocellular network. Said method comprises a step (1) of taking power measurements on signals sent over this network, a step (3) of optimizing the transmission powers of the femtocells according to these measurements, and a step (4) of allocating to each femtocell its transmission power. Said method is characterized in that:
