In Long Term Evolution technology, the adaptation of Fractional Frequency Reuse techniques has been proposed in order to overcome the co-channel interference and augment the total throughput of the network. In this work, we propose a Fractional Frequency Reuse method that on the one hand calculates the optimal inner region radius and frequency allocation of a macrocell and on the other hand assigns frequency resources to the femtocells in order to mitigate the co-channel interference. We apply this method in an integrated femtocell/macrocell environment and evaluate it based on the optimization of three metrics, depending on the network operator?s needs.</p>
