As a strategy to coordinate inter-cell interference in cellular networks, a fractional frequency reuse (FFR) system is proposed, in which the frequency bandwidth is split into two orthogonal bands; users staying near the center of a FFR cell use the band with a frequency reuse (FR) factor of one (i.e., full FR), and users located close to the cell edge utilize the band with a FR factor greater than one (i.e., partial FR). Full FR coverage, which identifies full FR and partial FR regions (that is, near-center and near-edge regions) within a FFR cell, has a crucial effect on system performance. Some of the authors of this paper recently investigated the optimization of full FR coverage to maximize system throughput. They analytically showed that under the constraint of satisfying a specified target outage probability, the optimal full FR coverage is a non-increasing function of base station power when all base station powers in the cellular network are scaled at an equal rate. Interestingly, in this paper, it is proven that as the power of a single base station is scaled, the optimal full FR coverage in that cell is a non-decreasing function of base station power. Our results provide useful insight into the design of full FR coverage in relation to the transmit power of a base station. It gives a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between important FFR system parameters of base station power and full FR coverage.
