The capacity of GSM networks is running into its physical limits and the 3G networks are not expected to be widely operational in the very near future. Therefore, methods of increasing spectrum efficiency with low cost implication can be very welcomed by network operators. The re-use partitioning is one of the well-known such methods. In this paper, we provide a numerical methodology for the design of re-use partitioning to achieve maximum efficiency gain. The numerical results give exact value on the coverage of each layer in order to achieve this maximum gain.
