Abstract
The present invention relates to a cellular communication system for wireless telecommunication on the basis of an OFDM scheme, comprising a plurality of base stations B, whereby at least one base station B is allocated to each cell C of the communication system and whereby information communicated from the base stations comprises data parts and pilot parts. The present invention further relates to a method for operating such a cellular communication system. The present invention is characterised in that the frequency reuse factor of the data parts is different from a frequency reuse factor of the pilot parts. Hereby, an optimisation between high capacity and reliable and correct channel estimation on the basis of the pilot parts can be achieved.
