Abstract
Example embodiments are directed to methods of reducing interference in a communication system. In at least one example embodiment, a method includes first determining, by a first transmitter having a multi-directional antenna configured to produce a plurality of beams, at least one interference level of at least one interfering beam of a plurality of beams of at least one transmitter in the communication system, second determining a transmitting beam pattern based on the interference level, the transmitting beam pattern indicating a sequence of illuminating the plurality of beams at corresponding time slots, third determining a fractional frequency reuse pattern based on the transmitting beam pattern, and transmitting data based on the transmitting beam pattern and the frequency reuse pattern.
