Abstract
An apparatus and method for controlling an inter-cluster interference in a multi cell network are provided. The method includes collecting cluster information in order to cluster base stations into at least one cluster; clustering the base stations into at least one cluster by using at least one of a dynamic clustering method and a hierarchical clustering method, based on the cluster information, determining a cluster boundary base station, which satisfies a predetermined condition, among base stations in a cluster, and controlling the inter-cluster interference.
