Claim Text:
1. A method of managing inter-cell interference, comprising: determining a first application requirement and a first mobility for each of a first plurality of wireless devices in communication with a first access node, and a second application requirement and a second mobility for each of a second plurality of wireless devices in communication with a second access node; determining a priority of each of the first plurality of wireless devices and each of the second plurality of wireless devices based on the respective first and second application requirements and mobilities; selecting at least one wireless device from each of the first plurality of wireless devices and the second plurality of wireless devices comprising a priority meeting a first priority criteria; exchanging information about the selected wireless devices meeting the first priority criteria among the first access node and the second access node; selecting, based on a detected signal interference between wireless devices of the first and second plurality of wireless devices and the respective first or second access node, at least one wireless device from each of the first plurality of wireless devices and the second plurality of wireless devices comprising a priority meeting a second priority criteria; reducing, based on the detected signal interference, a transmission power at a first time of the signal between a first access node and the wireless devices selected from the first plurality of wireless devices meeting the first priority criteria and the second priority criteria; and reducing, based on the detected signal interference, a transmission power at a second time of a signal between the second access node and the wireless devices selected from the second plurality of wireless devices meeting the first priority criteria and the second priority criteria.
