Abstract
LTE-advanced systems, which aim to provide high data rate wireless services, have received world-wide researching interests nowadays. In this paper, the performance of fixed frequency reuse with different reuse factors is studied in LTE-advanced systems. Performance is measured in terms of both average cell throughput and cell edge user throughput. It is found that a properly chosen reuse factor with respect to cell size (which leads to different level of inter-cell interference), can offer up to 30% gain in average cell throughput and much higher gain for cell-edge user throughput in local area (LA). This high gain from frequency reuse makes it attractive for future LTE-advanced systems.Keywords
