A technique for assigning transceiver devices to transmission resources for inter-cell interference coordination in a heterogeneous cellular communication network is described. The network comprises a first cell layer having a first cell associated with a first transmission resource and a second cell layer having a second cell associated with a second transmission resource disjunctive from the first transmission resource. In a method implementation, the technique comprises performing a first selection procedure to select a first set of transceiver devices served in the first cell based on the potential of causing interference to transceiver devices served in the second cell, performing a second selection procedure to select a second set of transceiver devices served in the second cell based on the potential of being sensitive to interference from transceiver devices served in the first cell, and assigning the first set of transceiver devices to the first transmission resource and the second set of transceiver devices to the second transmission resource.
