Abstract
A method of managing communication in the wireless communication network having a plurality of Base Stations (BSs) is provided. Each BS provides communication to one or more Mobile Stations (MSs) in an associated cell. The method includes re-using at a BS, channel allocated to collocated BSs to communicate with MSs located in a first predetermined region in a cell of the BS. The method further includes scheduling MSs located in the first predetermined region based on the position of each MS relative to the BS. The MSs are scheduled using one or more of channels allocated to the collocated BSs and a native channel of the BS. Further, the method includes scheduling MSs located in a second predetermined region based on the position of each MS relative to the BS. The MSs in the second predetermined region are scheduled using the native channel of the BS.
