1. An apparatus of a first eNodeB, the apparatus comprising:

  • memory storing instructions; and

    one or more processors configured to implement the instructions to;

    decode interference coordination information that is received at the first eNodeB from a second eNodeB, wherein the interference coordination information includes an uplink-downlink (UL-DL) time-division duplexing (TDD) subframe reconfiguration for the first eNodeB, and the first eNodeB is a neighboring node of the second eNodeB; and

    generate UL-DL TDD subframe reconfiguration for transmission from the first eNodeB to a plurality of user equipments (UEs), and the UL-DL TDD subframe reconfiguration is used to perform scheduling of data at the first eNodeB for the UEs with reduced interference.
