Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, transmissions from a neighboring base station may interfere with downlink transmissions from a serving base station to a target user equipment (UE). To coordinate interference between the base stations (e.g., mitigate interference, stabilize interference, etc.), the serving base station may generate an interference coordination message and may transmit the message over-the-air (OTA) to one or more neighboring base stations. The message may include parameters indicating a coordination scheme for the neighboring base station(s) to use for modifying one or more scheduling decisions. The coordination scheme may be configured or dynamically selected and may include interfering beam fixation, interfering beam suppression, or interfering beam avoidance. A neighboring base station receiving the OTA interference coordination message may modify a scheduling decision to mitigate or stabilize interference when the serving base station is transmitting to the target UE.
