1. A method for communicating in a wireless communication network comprising a number of cells served by respective base stations, comprising the steps of:
- splitting up at least one of a frequency bandwidth and a time interval allocated to the communication in at least a first part and a second part;
using said first part for communication according to a first reuse scheme;
using said second part for communication according to a second reuse scheme; and
wherein a third part is an allocated bandwidth of said frequency bandwidth,wherein use of said third part is split into at least a first time interval and a second time interval and wherein said first time interval is allocated for paging and interactive communication and said second time interval is allocated for broadcast transmission;
splitting up said first time interval in at least a first sub-part and a second sub-part with respect to one of frequency and time;
using said first sub-part for communication according to a first sub-part reuse scheme; and
using said second sub-part for communication according to a second sub-part reuse scheme.

8. A user terminal for use in a wireless communication network comprising a number of cells served by respective base stations,
wherein said user terminal comprises: -
means for transmitting communications signals over a predefined bandwidth; and
means for receiving communication signals over said predefined bandwidth;
said means for transmitting and means for receiving communication signals over a predefined bandwidth, being operative such that said bandwidth and/or a time interval allocated to the communication are split into at least two parts, a first part of said two parts being used for communication according to a first reuse scheme, and a second part of said two parts being used for communication according to a second reuse scheme and wherein a third part is an allocated bandwidth of said frequency bandwidth, wherein use of said third part is split into at least a first time interval and a second time interval and wherein said first time interval is allocated for paging and interactive communication and said second time interval is allocated for broadcast transmission; andmeans for; splitting up said first time interval in at least a first sub-part and a second sub-part with respect to one of frequency and time; using said first sub-part for communication according to a first sub-part reuse scheme; and using said second sub-part for communication according to a second sub-part reuse scheme. - View Dependent Claims (9)
