Recently small cell networks have gained significant attention. Providing considerable capacity gain such systems bring heavy resource competition as well as mutual interference between multiple cells. In this paper we propose a distributed solution for interference control tailored for the use within small cell networks. We demonstrate the effectiveness of path loss difference for characterizing the need to divide resources between small cells in a non-uniform deployment scenario. We show the possibility of flexible transition between different interference control policies and demonstrate the presence of an optimum parameter values for which the performance of the users experiencing poor channel conditions is growing without compromising overall network throughput. We compare our solution with the basic resource control approaches and discuss the possibilities to enhance it in order to achieve fairness of resource distribution accurately.
