The invention concerns a method for coordination of the interference in the uplink between cells (C 1, C 6 ) of a single frequency network with the frequency band used for uplink being subdivided into at least two subsets (F 1 , F 2 . . . FR), whereby a dedicated subset (F 1 ) of said at least two subsets (F 1 , F 2 . . . FR) is selected to be burdened more by inter-cell interference and is allocated under observation of the strong inter-cell interference in this dedicated subset to mobile terminals located in a first cell (C 1 ), and mobile terminals (T 2 ) located in the border area of a second cell (C 6 ) of said cells neighbored to the first cell and causing the strongest interference in said first cell (C 1 ) are based on further network criteria tried to be scheduled to said dedicated subset (F 1 ), a base station, a mobile terminal and a mobile network therefor.
