Abstract
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes gathering at a small cell base station information to populate a neighbor cell list of the small cell base station; gathering measurement reports from connected mode user equipment ('UE') at the small cell base station; and determining whether uplink interference has exceeded a predetermined threshold and generating an alarm to a central node when the uplink interference has exceeded the predetermined threshold. Upon receipt of notification, the central node triggers an action on an aggressor node, wherein the aggressor node is a node servicing at least one aggressor user equipment ('UE') that significantly contributes to the uplink interference as determined from the gathered information and reports.
