A mobile communications system comprises a first group of one or more base stations which are arranged to communicate signals with mobile units within a first (e.g. FDD) frequency band; a second group of one or more base stations which are arranged to communicate signals with mobile units within a second (e.g. TDD) frequency band; and a controller. The controller determines an amount of interference in the first frequency band to radio signals for a first type of traffic caused by radio signals for a second type of traffic in the second frequency band. In response to the determined interference, the controller generates instructions to influence the second group based on at least a priority for the first type of traffic and a priority for the second type of traffic. In one example, the first group of one or more base stations may be providing communications services to human to human communications (H2H), whereas the second group of one or more base stations may be providing communications services supporting machine type communications (MTC), where H2H communications are prioritizes over machine type communications. The second group of one or more base stations is therefore instructed to take action to reduce the interference by for example handover of interfering mobile units, power control or re-scheduling non-time sensitive communications. |
