Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for facilitating uplink interference avoidance. According an embodiment, a system can comprise identifying network node devices and communication devices operating within a boundary located adjacent to an external system. The system can comprise determining communication settings of the communication devices that are engaged in an uplink session with the network node devices. The system can comprise estimating a total uplink interference into the external system based on a propagation model and an uplink power control value determined from the communication settings. The system can comprise in response to determining that the total uplink interference is greater than a defined value and in response to determining that the network node devices employed an open loop power control, requesting the network node devices to initiate an update to an uplink power limit (e.g., facilitate uplink power reduction) of the communication devices engaged in the uplink session with the network node devices.
