Claim:
1. A method for facilitating uplink power control in a wireless network, the method comprising: obtaining a plurality of potential interference patterns between a plurality of neighboring cells, wherein each of the plurality of potential interference patterns specify a different set of inter-cell-interference (ICI) thresholds; statistically narrowing the plurality of potential interference patterns into one or more common interference patterns, wherein statistically narrowing the plurality of potential interference patterns comprises removing one or more uncommon interference patterns from the plurality of potential interference patterns to obtain the one or more common interference patterns; and sending the one or more common interference patterns to one or more user equipments (UEs) in the wireless network, thereby triggering the one or more UEs to perform uplink power control based on the one or more common interference patterns.
