A method for controlling uplink transmit power and/or uplink resource allocation for a plurality of basestations, such as small cells or femtocells, in a mobile communications network is disclosed. The basestations form a second layer within the network, which also comprises another plurality of basestations, such as macrocells, forming a first layer. The method comprises clustering the plurality of second layer basestations according to association with first layer basestations, exchanging second layer basestation loading information between second layer basestations belonging to the same cluster, and dynamically setting uplink transmit power limits and/or uplink resource allocations for individual second layer basestations based on the exchanged loading information. The clustering may place those second layer basestations reporting a smallest path loss to the same first layer basestation in the same cluster. Clustering may be updated on occurrence of a trigger, such as a change in the ...
