Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems for distributing resource block between interfering cells, are disclosed. One method includes allocating resource blocks to a plurality of macro-cells and a plurality of sectors of a supercell, wherein the supercell includes a wireless communication cell that provides wireless coverage to a larger region than the plurality of macro-cells and includes the plurality of sectors, wherein each of the macro-cells provide wireless coverage that at least partially overlaps with a region of wireless coverage of the supercell, wherein the supercell includes one or more supercell sector coverage areas that are interfered by at least one macro-cell. The allocating the resource blocks includes determining which of the plurality of macro-cells wirelessly interfere with which of the plurality of sectors, and determining, for each interfered sector, a total unmet demand of the interfered sector and interfering macro-cells for a coverage area of the interfered sector.
