摘要

A method and an apparatus for controlling interference between a microcell and a macrocell in a home base station within the microcell are provided in the present invention. In particular in the case that the existence: of at least one victim macro user equipment is detected the home base station according to the present invention controls its transmit power within an interval determined by an upper limit and a lower limit such that it can be guaranteed that the performance requirement of a communication with the home user equipment is satisfied while lac interference toward the victim macro user equipment is reduced.
