Abstract Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the standard for wireless communication of high speed data and mobile terminal. Among the current emerging technologies like LTE based on orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) technique, it found to be more attractive for high speed wireless communication. However co-channel interference (CCI) from the neighbouring cells is one of the limiting factors that degrade the LTE system. Fractional frequency reuse (FFR) technique is proposed to overcome the same as it is suitable for idealized cellular layout since power is not considered in this scheme. In this paper FFR is generalized and sub band allocation among user is made in optimal manner which increases the performance of the system
