A new approach to anti-blocking cellular communication for HetNet deployment is proposed. First, a block detector sends a block indicator from an LPN to a scheduler in a macro base station. The scheduler then collects the block indicator statistics of each LPN on a sub-frame basis and updates the statistics in each sub-frame. If the statistics of received block indicators for one sub-frame during an observation period of a specific LPN exceeds a first predefined threshold, then the scheduler will not schedule any more uplink transmission to the LPN during the sub-frame for those UEs which are connected to the LPN. When the statistics of received block indicators becomes less than a second predefined threshold, which is less than the first threshold, the scheduler removes the limitation on uplink transmission to the LPN and allocates the sub-frame of the LPN as usual.
