Abstract :
This paper presents a method of directional frequency reuse for high density, high capacity cellular networks. In this method, a group of channels is reused in the same direction the antenna is pointing at. As a result, the number of dominant interfering cells are reduced, thereby enhancing the C/I margin and capacity. The proposed frequency reuse plan outperforms the existing cluster reuse plan
