Fractional Frequency Re-Use (FFR)

Posted by Ghani B. Lorica on July 18, 2007 at 1:47am in WiMAX Applications View Discussions WIMAX 360 members, Do anybody uses this or implement this thing on your WIMAX deployment? Its been mentioned in the WIMAX forum, but not really detailed as what a technical people is looking for. What I am sure of, base on the discussion, this will help a lot in capacity planning. May I hear your opinion on this itemFFR. Thanks a lot! Share Twitter

Permalink Reply by Farhan Hasan on July 23, 2007 at 2:11am Hello Ghani FFR is the combination of two permutations PUSC + FUSC ( PUSC with all subcarriers). In FFR all the subscribers nearer to the BTS will use PUSC with all subcarriers and users at the cell edge will use a fraction of the available sub-carriers ( PUSC ). With FFR you will be using same frequency point at every sector by which you can plan a whole network by using single channel. Good thing is that, the C/I ratio in the field will be more or less equal to FUSC where as the capacity of a sector will be more then PUSC as the nearer users will be using all of the available sub-Carriers. For example UL-PUSC + PUSC with All SC Mode The cell far away from the BTS adopts the PUSC mode. The three sectors for one BTS each use onethird of the sub-channels in one frequency. For example, in UL-PUSC mode, 35 sub-channels of 10 MHz bandwidth can be divided into 11, 12, and 12 sub-channels that are distributed to the three sectors respectively. The center of the cell adopts the PUSC with all SC mode. To balance interference, the neighboring cells use different PermBase DL-PUSC+PUSC with All SC/FUSC Mode The cell far away from the BTS adopts the PUSC mode. The three sectors for one BTS each use onethird of the sub-channels at one FA For example, in DL-PUSC mode, 30 sub-channels of 10 MHz bandwidth can be divided into three segments, that is, 10 sub-channels for each segment. The segments are distributed to the three sectors. The center of the cell adopts the PUSC with all SC mode or the FUSC mode. To balance interference, the neighboring cells use different PermBase

If you want to do a more dynamic test then you can use a fader with multiple input ports to generate a more complicated setup that would include attenuation to put the cell on the edge while fading it to simulate the effect of a moving mobile station.

Permalink Reply by Natanael Makarios on May 13, 2008 at 12:00am Hi All, I would ask the same question as Jimish does. How do you calculate a SIR on FFR. On a normal Freq reuse scheme the formula is just C/I=sqrt(3*N)^n/Io with an hexagonal approach. But, how do you calculate it with FFR since the cell radius of the co-channels is smaller than the real max cell radius. I've tried to google up for the formula of FFR but didn't find it. Does anyone know? Thanks, Natanael Reply
