Patent ID: 8787922

Claim:
A system to cooperatively control inter-cell interference, comprising: a processor; a resource allocation unit to allocate a first frequency to a central area of a neighboring cell associated with a neighboring base station, and to allocate a second frequency to an edge area of the neighboring cell, wherein the first frequency is allocated to a central area of a serving cell associated with a serving base station, and the second frequency is allocated to an edge area of the serving cell; and an interference controller configured: to control a least one of scheduling information, channel information, and data to be transmitted and be received between a terminal and the serving base station using the second frequency, where the terminal is located in the edge area of the neighboring cell, to allocate the first frequency equally between the serving base station and the neighboring base station in a first interval, and to allocate the second frequency and a third frequency orthogonally between the serving base station and the neighboring base station during a second interval.
