Claim 27:
28. A method of wireless communication operable at a second pico base station communicatively coupled with a macro base station, comprising:
transmitting or receiving, at the second pico base station, a backhaul link traffic between the second pico base station and the macro base station based on potential interference of the backhaul link traffic to an access link traffic between the user equipment (UE) and a first pico base station, the backhaul link traffic utilizing at least a portion of a transmission resource designated for the access link traffic;
determining a first direction of the access link traffic to be an uplink direction or a downlink direction based on a second direction of the backhaul link traffic, wherein the second direction comprises an uplink direction or a downlink direction, wherein the first direction of the access link traffic is different from the second direction of the backhaul link traffic, and wherein the macro base station, the first pico base station and the second pico base station are different base stations.
