  • Patent number: 6091955
    Abstract: A cellular radio network and a method for increasing traffic carrying capacity in a cellular network in which the operating frequency spectrum of the cellular network has been divided so that typically both regular frequencies and super-reuse frequencies are employed in each cell. The regular frequencies use a conventional frequency reuse pattern to provide seamless overall coverage (overlay). A very tight frequency reuse pattern is used for the super-reuse frequencies to provide additional capacity (underlay). The cellular network controls the division of traffic into regular and super-reuse frequencies by radio resource allocation at the call set-up phase and later on during the call by handover procedure. The cellular network continuously monitors the downlink co-channel interference of each super-reuse frequency in the cell separately for each ongoing call.
