Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a resource management method and apparatus for a cell cluster and a communications system. The method includes: transmitting resource allocation information by a base station taken as a cluster head of the cell cluster to other base stations in the cell cluster. By transmitting the resource allocation information by the base station taken as the cluster head of the cell cluster to the other base stations in the cell cluster, resource allocation for the cells may be performed efficiently, capabilities of coordinating inter-cell interference may be improved, and as the cell cluster may be expanded to cell clusters of a lower level or more levels, scalability of the network may be improved.
