Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for selecting an operating frequency from available frequencies/channels for a small cell. A set of candidate operating frequencies is determined from a plurality of available operating frequencies as having an interference cost less than a first threshold and a coupling cost less than a second threshold. The small cell can then select a candidate operating frequency of the set of candidate operating frequencies having a lowest interference cost as the operating frequency.
