1. A method for controlling interference between base stations in a radio communication system, the method comprising:
- providing a radio communication system including at least a gateway, a first base station, a second base station, and a first interference control message in a format of a protocol of a direct interface, wherein the first base station is connected to the second base station through an indirect interface for indirectly connecting the first and second base stations via the gateway, wherein a direct interface for directly connecting the base stations does not exist,transmitting the first interference control message in a format of a protocol of the indirect interface from the first base station to the second base station through the indirect interface, the transmitting comprising;
converting the first interference control message in the direct interface protocol into the format of the protocol of the indirect interface to thereby generate a second interference control message with the same content but different message format protocol by inserting the first interference control message in the direct interface protocol into a direct message container information element and transferring the direct message container information element in the protocol of the indirect interface.

Abstract
A method for controlling interference between base stations in a radio communication system in which an indirect interface for indirectly connecting the base stations exists and an direct interface for directly connecting the base stations does not exist, the method includes: converting a first interference control message used in the direct interface into a format of a protocol of the indirect interface to thereby generate a second interference control message; and transmitting the second interference control message through the indirect interface.
