1. A method performed in a radio access network in which a first access terminal uses a first access point to access the radio access network and a second access terminal uses a second access point to access the radio access network, the method comprising:
- transmitting, from the first access point to the second access terminal, a communication that causes a reduction in interference in communications between the first access terminal and the first access point by adjusting signal power levels of the second access terminal without requiring coordination between the first and second access points;
wherein adjusting signal power levels of the second access terminal comprises adjusting a bit rate of the second access terminal; and
wherein the first private access point is configured to tolerate more interference from voice signals transmitted by the second access terminal than from data signals transmitted by the second access terminal.

Abstract
In a radio access network in which a first access terminal uses a first access point to access the network and a second access terminal uses a second access point to access the network, interference is reduced in communications between the first access terminal and the first access point by adjusting signal power levels of the second access terminal without requiring coordination between the first and second access points.
