A method for limiting inter-cell interference and balancing load in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: one larger cell and one or more smaller cells providing overlapping terminal coverage and capacity; the larger cell informing the one or more smaller cells of transmission resources in which the larger cell restricts its own transmission; the one or more smaller cells using the restricted transmission resources for their own transmission; one smaller cell communicating with another cell in the wireless communication system to provide use information about the smaller cell's use of the restricted transmission resources; and the smaller cell and/or the other cell carrying out load balancing in response to the use information. |
