Claim:
1. An Evolved Node B (eNB) comprising: a cellular transceiver to communicate with a User Equipment (UE), the cellular transceiver to receive Channel State Information (CSI) from the UE; a backhaul interface to communicate with another eNB via a backhaul link; and a controller to determine a Relative Transmit (Tx) Power recommendation based at least on the CSI from the UE, the controller to cause the backhaul interface to send a first message comprising the Relative Tx Power recommendation to the another eNB via the backhaul link, the Relative Tx Power recommendation comprising a plurality of Relative Tx Power bitmaps corresponding to a respective plurality of different Relative Tx Power thresholds, the controller to process a second message comprising a Relative Tx Power setting from the another eNB, the controller to schedule communications of the UE based on the Relative Tx Power setting from the another eNB.
