sending, by the affected cell base station, a power adjustment request to the selected interfering cell base station to request that the selected interfering cell base station adjust a transmit power on the specific channel resource, wherein the specific channel resource is an almost blank subframe (ABS) resource.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein selecting one of interfering cell base stations according to the interference levels and power coordination information of the interfering cell base stations comprises:

sorting the interfering cell base stations according to the interference levels and power headrooms of the interfering cell base stations; and

selecting one of the interfering cell base stations according to a sorting result.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein sending the power adjustment request to the selected interfering cell base station comprises sending the power adjustment request to the selected interfering cell base station to request that that the selected interfering cell base station adjust a transmit power on the ABS resource.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein sending the power adjustment request to the selected interfering cell base station comprises sending the power adjustment request to the selected interfering cell base station requiring interference coordination to request that the selected interfering cell base station adjust a transmit power on a frequency domain subcarrier occupied by the ABS resource.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein sending the power adjustment request to the selected interfering cell base station comprises sending the power adjustment request to the selected interfering cell base station requiring interference coordination to request that the selected interfering cell base station adjust a transmit power on a frequency domain physical resource block occupied by the ABS resource.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein sending the power adjustment request to the selected interfering cell base station comprises sending the power adjustment request to the selected interfering cell base station requiring interference coordination to request that the selected interfering cell base station adjust a transmit power on a frequency domain resource block group occupied by the ABS resource.

a processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming including instructions to:

determine interfering cell base stations and interference levels of the interfering cell base stations;

receive power coordination information sent by the interfering cell base stations, wherein the power coordination information is used to indicate:

a power headroom of an interfering cell base station on a specific channel resource, wherein the power headroom of the interfering cell base station on the specific channel resource comprises a difference between a current transmit power and a minimum transmit power of the interfering cell base station on the specific channel resource;

select one of the interfering cell base stations according to the interference levels and power coordination information of the interfering cell base stations based on the interference levels of the interfering cell base stations and the power coordination information; and

send a power adjustment request to the selected interfering cell base station to request that that the selected interfering cell base station adjust a transmit power on the specific channel resource, wherein the specific channel resource is an almost blank subframe (ABS) resource.

8. The base station according to claim 7 ,

wherein the instructions to determine the base station requiring interference coordination includes instructions to sort the interfering cell base stations according to the interference levels of the interfering cell base stations and the power headrooms, and to determine the base station requiring interference coordination according to a sorting result.

9. The base station according to claim 7 , wherein sending the power adjustment request to the base station requiring interference coordination prompts the base station to adjust a transmit power on the ABS resource.

10. The base station according to claim 7 , wherein sending the power adjustment request to the base station requiring interference coordination prompts the base station to adjust a transmit power on a frequency domain subcarrier occupied by the ABS resource.

11. The base station according to claim 7 , wherein sending the power adjustment request to the base station requiring interference coordination prompts the base station to adjust a transmit power on a frequency domain physical resource block occupied by the ABS resource.
