چکیده
This paper proposes a vertical beamforming concept to a cellular network employing fractional frequency reuse technique. The reference antenna utilized in this paper is the one currently employed at base station. The idea of using two di erent vertical beams is proposed for cell-center and cell-edge regions, separately. The proposed concept is validated through computer simulation in terms of SINR and channel capacity. The obtained results indicate that the proposed concept can improve the performance of the cellular networks comparing with the ones employing horizontal beamforming and one spot beam covering cell sector.
