See full text

Methods relating to managing operations of small cells are provided. One method includes receiving, from a management system configured to manage one or more operations of a plurality of small cells, a plurality of fractional frequency reuse (FFR) patterns for a frequency range. Each FFR pattern is configured to define a plurality of cell groupings, each including one or more of the plurality small cells. Each of the plurality of cell groupings is configured to transmit downlink transmissions over a different one of a plurality of frequency bands within the frequency range. The method further includes selecting a first FFR pattern from among the plurality of FFR patterns received from the management system and transmitting downlink transmissions in accordance with the first FFR pattern.
