Method and apparatus for interference coordination in heterogeneous network

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and apparatus for interference coordination in a heterogeneous network. The method may comprise: obtaining types of a plurality of UE in the heterogeneous network, wherein the heterogeneous network comprises at least one macro BS and at least one LPN, and wherein each of the types is macro central area type, macro non-central area type, LPN central area type, or LPN non-central area type; and determining one or more user pairs from the plurality of UEs based on the obtained types, such that the plurality of UEs are scheduled based on the one or more user pairs to reduce inter-cell interference.
