System(s) and method(s) that facilitate assignment mismatch recovery are provided. A projected level of resources required to satisfy one or more communication constraints (e.g., inter-cell and intra-cell interference) is generated. The projected resources are contrasted with scheduled resources and a determination is made as to whether a mismatch between assigned and projected resources exists. A mismatch is recovered through an adaptive response that feeds back magnitudes for the communication resources which are compatible with the communication constraints.
