Abstract
An apparatus and a method provide for uplink interference coordination in a radio communication system, such as a cellular communication system. Measurements are made at mobile stations associated with uplink-channel interference conditions. Reports are made to the network when a mobile station experiences interference conditions beyond a measurement threshold. If greater than a group-threshold number of mobile stations experience high levels of uplink-channel interference, communication resources are reallocated in compensation for the high interference conditions.
