Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for Fractional frequency reuse (FFR). A reuse factor of one (f=1) may be used to serve mobile stations located in inner cell regions that do not experience significant inter-cell interference (ICI) and a reuse factor of less than one (f<1) may be used for mobile stations located near the cell edge that tend to experience higher levels of ICI. Dynamic allocation of frequency partitions and adjustment of power levels for each base station sector are provided in order to avoid collisions between neighboring base station sectors and achieve improved capacity and performance. Load balancing may also be provided.
