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