Abstract
An interference coordination method for a radio communication system includes a plurality of user equipment configured to communicate on radio resources with transceiver stations exchanging between transceiver stations one or more coordination messages concerning interference on an interfered radio resource, and determining a score of a potential allocation of the interfered radio resource to potentially-interfered user equipment based on said coordination message or messages. In particular, the radio resource scheduling method includes generating, for a transceiver station serving respective served user equipment, a set of candidate aggregate allocations including corresponding potential allocations of radio resources to respective served user equipment, performing the interference coordination method to determine a score of each potential allocation in the candidate aggregate allocations, computing a total score of each candidate aggregate allocation based on the scores of the corresponding potential allocations, and allocating radio resources to respective served user equipment based on the total scores of the candidate aggregate allocations.
