Abstract
A system includes a first device (110) to classify data as one of a control message or a non-control message, and provide the classification of the data to a second device (122). The second device (122) receives the classification of the data, receives information associated with a resource (460), calculates an expected interference associated with the resource (460) based on the information associated with the resource (460), and allocates, to the resource (460), data classified as a control message when the expected interference corresponds to a low expected interference.

23. A method implemented by a device in a wireless communication system that includes a plurality of cells, the method comprising:
-
calculating expected levels of inter-cell interference associated with different resources available for wireless communication in a cell; determining that one of the resources is associated with a relatively low level of expected inter-cell interference; and allocating data classified as a control message to the determined resource for communication of that data in said cell. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A method implemented by a device in a wireless communication system that includes a plurality of cells, the method comprising:
-
classifying data to be transmitted as one of an RRC message or a non-RRC message; providing said classification to another device; responsive to providing said classification, receiving information from the other device identifying which of a plurality of resources to use for transmitting said data, the identified resource being associated with a relatively low level of expected inter-cell interference if said data is classified as an RRC message; and transmitting said data via the identified resource. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34)

35. A device comprising:
-
an Inter-cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) mechanism configured to; collect information associated with different resources available for wireless communication in a cell, calculate expected levels of inter-cell interference associated with the different resources, based on the collected information, and determine that one of the resources is associated with a relatively low level expected inter-cell interference; and a scheduler configured to; receive a classification of data describing data as being one of a control message or a non-control message, and allocate data classified as a control message to the determined resource for communication of that data in said cell. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
