Abstract
A method is provided for transmitting combined frequency reuse communications in a wireless network. The communications are transmitted along sub-channels associated with given frequency channel partitions. At least one of the combined frequency reuse frames comprises at least one sub-channel operative according to a first reuse scheme and at least one other sub-channel operative according to another reuse scheme. Preferably, the transmission power level for conveying communications along at least one sub-channel assigned in each of the sectors according to the first reuse scheme, is substantially equal to that used in all other sectors, the transmission power level of another sub-channel operative according to another reuse scheme is higher than a first threshold in at least one of the sectors and the transmission power level in at least one other of the sectors is lower than the first threshold but higher than a second threshold.
