1. A method for wireless communications, comprising:

  • receiving information relating to a subframe resource interlace allocation of a first downlink (DL) resource from a first base station;

    receiving signaling from the first base station during at least one subframe associated with the subframe resource interlace allocation;

    determining a signal metric associated with the signaling, wherein the first DL resource is time-division orthogonal to a second DL resource allocated to a second base station; and

    transmitting the signal metric to the first base station;

    wherein a base station type of the first base station is one of a first power class macrocell base station, a second power class macrocell base station, a femtocell base station, or a picocell base station, and the base station type of the first base station is different from a base station type of the second base station.
