1. A three dimensional cellular communication system comprising:
- a first planar level having a first plurality of cells; and
a second planar level having a second plurality of cells similarly arranged as the first plurality of cells and having an offset in first, second and third co-ordinates from the first plurality of cells, wherein the first and second plurality of cells have a multiple of predetermined clusters having a predetermined number of cells, each of the multiple of predetermined clusters having a cluster size determining the offset in the first and the second co-ordinates, and wherein the offset in the third co-ordinate is determined by a vertical distance between the first planar level and the second planar level.

7. A three dimensional cellular radio system comprising:
-
a first plurality of communicators, each providing a communication area defining one of a first plurality of cells in a first, second, and third dimensions, the first plurality of communicators for communicating by a first signal on a first planar level; and a second plurality of communicators, each providing a communication area defining one of a second plurality of cells in a first, second, and third dimensions, the second plurality of communicators for communicating by a second signal on a second planar level, the first plurality of communicators being offset in first, second and third co-ordinates from the second plurality of communicators for minimizing the interference therebetween, wherein the first and second plurality of cells have a multiple of predetermined clusters having a predetermined number of cells, each of the multiple of predetermined clusters having a cluster size with first and second co-ordinates determining the offset in the first and the second dimensions, and wherein the offset in the third dimension is determined by a vertical distance between the first planar level and the second planar level. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method comprising:
-
communicating by a first signal, having a frequency, from a first plurality of communicators in first, second, and third dimensions; and communicating by a second signal, having substantially the same frequency, from a second plurality of communicators in the first, second, and third dimensions, wherein the first plurality of communicators is offset in first, second and third co-ordinates from the second plurality of communicators for maximizing frequency reuse in the first, second, and third dimensions, wherein the first and second plurality of communicators have a communication area defined by one of a first and second plurality of cells, wherein the first and second plurality of cells have a multiple of predetermined clusters having a predetermined number of cells, each of the multiple of predetermined clusters having a cluster size with first and second co-ordinates determining the offset in the first and the second dimensions, and wherein the offset in the third dimension is determined by a vertical distance between the first and second plurality of communicators. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
