A system and method for identifying at least one aggressor cell are described. The method comprises transmitting at least one subframe from at least one base station of a first set of base stations to a second set of base stations, wherein the at least one subframe further comprises of at least one downlink subframe, at least uplink subframe and at least one special subframe. The second set of base stations decodes the at least one received subframe, and maps each of the at least one received downlink subframe, at least one received uplink subframe and at least one received special subframe of the at least one received subframe to at least one expected subframe. Lastly, at least one aggressor cell is determined based on a mismatch of the at least one received subframe and the at least one expected subframe.
