A system and method for inter-cell interference coordination is provided. A method for controller operation includes receiving interferer information from a device served by the controller, scheduling a cell edge device based on the received interferer information, and reporting usage information of the subset of resources to neighboring controllers. The cell edge device operates in a periphery of a coverage area of the controller, and the cell edge device is scheduled to a subset of resources. The method also includes from each neighboring controller, receiving neighboring usage information of a neighboring subset of resources reserved for cell edge devices served by the neighboring controller. The method further includes scheduling a cell center device based on the received usage information from the neighboring controllers, and transmitting to scheduled devices over their respective scheduled resources. Cell center device is scheduled to resources not in the subset of resources.
