Abstract :
This paper presents an analytic framework using area spectral efficiency (ASE) for evaluating the uplink performance of Frequency Reuse (FR) techniques. There are two main FR techniques which are the Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) and Soft Frequency Reuse (SFR). The analysis adopts moment generating function (MGF) approach in which composite fading are considered. The composite fading encompass not only path loss and log-normal shadowing but also Nakagami-m fading. This is invaluable for evaluating the performance of uplink in FFR and SFR and provides insight into the design guidelines that encompass much of the real world channel models.
