A system and method for managing radio frequency interference of a low power base station is disclosed. The method comprises determining that the low power base station is causing substantial interference in a data link between a mobile station and a macro base station. The low power base station is identified as having a closed subscriber group (CSG) that is in CSG-Closed mode. The CSG low power base station is converted from CSG-Closed mode to a CSG-Open mode to allow the mobile station to communicate through the CSG low power base station.
