Abstract: There are provided measures for inter-cell interference coordination in heterogeneous networks. Such measures exemplarily include determining a strongest interfering macro cell access node, said strongest interfering macro cell access node operating in time based subframes, wherein said subframes include almost blank transmission subframes during which said strongest interfering macro cell access node is muted and active transmission subframes during which said strongest interfering macro cell access node is transmitting, reporting said strongest interfering macro cell access node, and receiving a transmission in a subframe, wherein a control parameter of said transmission is set based on whether said subframe corresponds to an almost blank transmission subframe of said strongest interfering macro cell access node or to an active transmission subframe of said strongest interfering macro cell access node.
