Abstract This paper proposes novel reuse patterns formicrocellular networks based on a square grid. Aninitial carrier-to-interference ratio assessment forthese patterns considers the mobiles positioned at the worst-case condition and the system operatingat a full load. Among the possible reuse patterns (1, 2,4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 13, . . . microcells per cluster) theperformance analysis investigates systems with clusters of 5, 8, 9, and 10 microcells. Theresults show a substantial difference in performance forthe up- and downlinks, with the former performing lesssatisfactorily than the latter, and with this difference diminishing as the size of thecluster increases. Both the 10- and the 9-microcellclusters exhibit an outstanding performance and, ifappropriately explored, a remarkable trade-off betweencapacity and interference may be encountered in the5-microcell cluster.
