A method for controlling interference between a plurality of neighboring base stations for a terminal by a serving base station of the terminal in a communication system is provided. The method includes receiving interference amount information on a first region of a downlink frame from the terminal, determining an interference amount estimate for the first region based on the received interference amount information, comparing the determined interference amount estimate with an interference amount tolerance for the first region; and transmitting an interference indicator requesting reduction in transmission power for the first region to the plurality of neighboring base stations when the interference amount estimate exceeds the interference amount tolerance.
