A system and method of scheduling communication in a wireless communication network are provided. A scheduling scheme comprising a first and second subframe can be determined to communicate data between a first access node and first wireless devices, and a second access node and second wireless devices. A resource request from a network node can be received. An interference indication of the one of the first wireless devices can be determined after receiving the resource request. The first access node can be instructed to transmit data addressed to the one of the first wireless devices during the second subframe when the interference indication of the one of the first wireless devices meets an interference criteria. The second access node can be instructed to transmit data addressed to at least one of the second wireless devices that meets the signal condition threshold during the second subframe of the scheduling scheme.
