Summary:
In this paper, the performances of using Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR) schemes together with beamforming technique are presented. The key performances in terms of Signal-toInterference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) and channel capacity are compared. The beamforming antenna array have been both simulated and measured. The results show that the beamforming technique improves the channel capacity and SINR. The best performance is obtained when the system employs a soft FFR with three sectors and beamforming technique.
