A wireless communication network includes base stations serving cells. A first sector of a first cell served by a first base station is facing a second sector of a second cell served by a second base station. A controller receives performance data for each of the facing cells and dynamically assigns resource blocks to each base station. The base stations use the assigned resource blocks in the facing sectors to maximize allocation to user devices served in the facing sectors while minimizing interference. The controller may analyze the performance data over time and dynamically update the assigned resource blocks to each base station for the facing sectors at various time periods based on the analysis.
