The present invention relates to a base station, a small cell, and a method for scheduling a communications link resources. A first small cell reports load information and channel state information of a channel between the first small cell and a neighboring second small cell to a base station. The first small cell receives link pre-scheduling signaling from the base station. The link pre-scheduling signaling includes wireless resource occupation information that indicates an occupancy of a wireless resource of the first small cell by a backhaul link. The first small cell allocates a first wireless resource in available wireless resources to the backhaul link according to the channel state information and the wireless resource occupation information, and allocates a second wireless resource in the remaining available wireless resources to an access link used for data transmission between the first small cell and a user equipment device.
