Systems and methods are described that facilitate performing interference management techniques between sending and receiving nodes in order to provide minimum transmission rate guarantees. Carrier-to-interference ratio (C/I) may be controlled by employing specialized resource utilization messages (RUMs), the number and rate of which may be governed by a "token bucket" mechanism. For instance, a maximum token bucket size may be defined for a node, which describes the maximum amount of data that may pass through the node at a given time. A current number of tokens in the node's bucket may be evaluated and compared to a threshold value, and RUMs may be transmitted by the node as long as the current token number is greater than the predefined threshold value. Tokens may additionally be deducted from the node's bucket for successful data transmissions, thus providing a dynamic interference control mechanism.
