Method for inter-base station signaling
First Claim
1. A method for inter-base station signaling, comprising:
- receiving, at a first base station, first information from a second base station, the first information indicating commitments regarding transmission power by the second base station; and
determining, at the first base station, whether the second base station will follow the commitments indicated in the first information based on second information, the second information indicating for at least one of the first and second base stations which subframes in a series of subframes will be special subframes, each special subframe having at least one of less transmit power than a maximum transmission power and less data than a fully loaded subframe.

Abstract
One embodiment of a method for inter-base station signaling includes receiving, at a first base station, first information from a second base station. The first information indicates commitments regarding transmission power by the second base station. The embodiment further includes determining, at the first base station, whether the second base station will follow the commitments indicated in the first infatuation based on second information. The second information indicates for at least one of the first and second base stations which subframes in a series of subframes will be special subframes. Each special subframe has at least one of less transmit power than a maximum transmission power and less data than a fully loaded subframe.
