Definitions[]

Frequency reuse is

[t]he ability to use the same frequencies repeatedly across a cellular system. As each cell uses radio frequencies only within its boundaries, the same frequencies can be reused in other cells not far away with a limited possibility of interference. The reuse of frequencies is the key concept that enables a cellular system to handle a large amount of calls with a limited number of channels.[1]

Frequency reuse is "the use of the same signal spectrum at different geographical locations."[2]
