1. A communication system for communicating information in slots of a frame, the system comprising:

  • a first base station associated with a first cell and adapted to transmit downlink information to users in the first cell and to receive uplink information from users in the first cell, the first base station including a potentially-interfering antenna;

    a second base station associated with a frequency reuse cell and adapted to transmit downlink information to users in the frequency reuse cell and to receive uplink information from users in the frequency reuse cell, the second base station including a potentially-interfered-with antenna, wherein the potentially-interfering antenna can interfere with reception of uplink information in the potentially-interfered-with antenna; and

    means for allocating the slots to users in each of the cells such that the potentially-interfering antenna transmits downlink information in a different portion of the frame than that in which the potentially-interfered-with antenna receives uplink information.
