The inventive cellular reuse plan uses a tessellating grouping of cells to form a pattern, which is then repeated to form a larger cell cluster. The mosaic pattern uses several different cell types. Each cell type preferably comprises a different set of channel assignments. The channels are preferabl y provided additional orthogonality, such as through the use of polarization, where channel assignments within a cell are grouped to provide adjacent sectors, as a block, with primary communication links using commonly polariz ed channels. The different cell types (403, 404, 405) are then arranged in the mosaic pattern (Fig.4A). Each particular cell (400a-402a) in the pattern has adjoining cells that are of a different type than the particular cell. The most preferred embodiment cell pattern does not utilize available channels t o thereby provide reserve channels for use in providing redundant links and/or added capacity. Preferably, each of the reserve channels provides redundant communication links to a block of commonly polarized primary channels.</SDOA B>
