Abstract
A method for reducing co-channel or cross-channel interference between cells of a cell network in a frequency division multiple access (FDMA) communications system is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: dividing the cells of the cell network into a first subset of cells and a second subset of cells; dividing the available bandwidth for the system into a first set of sub-bands, each of which has a sub-band bandwidth and a second set of sub-bands, each of which has a sub-band bandwidth, the second set of sub-bands being offset in frequency from the first set of sub-bands; assigning the first set of sub-bands to the first subset of cells and the second set of sub-bands to the second subset of cells.
