c - subframe ) and slave common subframe ( s - c - subframe ). in the m - c - subframe , the bs has the master role which may use its maximum capable and allowed operating equivalent isotropically radiated power (“ eirp ”) to serve all sss associated with it if no other bs is interfered with by the bs in the m - c - subframe . if the bs in the m - c - subframe receives requests from its neighbor bss to ask it to decrease its transmission power or use the s - c - subframe , it should follow the request . in the s - c - subframe , the bs has the slave role to service the non - overlapping area . if a bs in the s - c - subframe detects interference from the bs in the m - c - subframe , it may request the bs in the m - c - subframe to decrease the transmission power until the bs in the m - c - subframe does not interfere with it . or this bs may request the bs in the m - c - subframe to use the s - c - subframe . after this optimization , subframe structure 1 is shown in fig8 and subframe structure 2 is shown in fig9 . fig8 shows a first subframe structure with master / slave common frame optimization according to the first embodiment of the invention . in a first frame n base station s 1 includes , in order , a master common subframe , a master subframe , a secondary master subframe , and a slave subframe . base station s 2 includes , in order , a slave common subframe , a slave subframe , a master subframe , and a secondary master subframe . base station s 3 includes , in order , a slave common subframe , a secondary master subframe , a slave subframe , and a master subframe . in a second frame n + 1 , base station s 1 includes , in order , a slave common subframe , a master subframe , a secondary master subframe , and a slave subframe . base station s 2 includes , in order , a master common subframe , a slave subframe , a master subframe , and a secondary master subframe . base station s 3 includes , in order , a slave common subframe , a secondary master subframe , a slave subframe , and a master subframe . in a third frame n + 2 , base station s 1 includes , in order , a slave common subframe , a master subframe , a secondary master subframe , and a slave subframe . base station s 2 includes , in order , a slave common subframe , a slave subframe , a master subframe , and a secondary master subframe . base station s 3 includes , in order , a master common subframe , a secondary master subframe , a slave subframe , and a master subframe . fig9 shows a second subframe structure with master / slave common frame optimization according to the first embodiment of the present invention . in frame n , base station s 1 includes a master common subframe and a master subframe , base station s 2 includes a slave common subframe and a slave subframe , and base station s 3 includes a slave common subframe and secondary master subframe . in frame n + 1 , base station s 1 includes a slave common subframe and a secondary master subframe , base station s 2 includes a master common subframe and a master subframe , and base station s 3 includes a slave common subframe and slave subframe . in frame n + 2 , base station s 1 includes a slave common subframe and a slave subframe , base station s 2 includes a slave common subframe and a secondary master subframe , and base station s 3 includes a master common subframe and master subframe . fig1 shows the regions being served during the various subframes when the second subframe structure of fig9 with the master common subframe is used . after the first optimization scheme described above , there are still some areas that can not be served by any bs in the common subframe . when s 3 is in the master common subframe , area a can not be served by either s 1 or s 2 since no priority is allocated to either of them . when s 1 is in the master common subframe , area c can not be served by either s 2 or s 3 since no priority is allocated to either of them . similarly , when s 2 is in the master common subframe , area b can not be served by either s 1 or s 3 since no priority is allocated to either of them . an optimized subframe structure for a wireless community according to a second embodiment of the invention using a slave hierarchy common subframe is described below with reference to fig1 - 13 . a hierarchy method according to the second embodiment of the invention uses a slave common subframe to give sss in overlapping areas more chance to be served . the method of the second embodiment of the invention defines a certain slave hierarchy . for example , after having the master common subframe a system has a “ second master ” common subframe ( s - m - c - subframe ) and still has priority over the other systems in the neighborhood except the system having the new master common subframe ( m - c - subframe ). if a bs using the s - m - c - subframe receives requests from its neighbor bs to ask it to decrease its transmit power or use the slave common subframe ( s - c - subframe ), it should follow these requests . fig1 shows the first subframe structure with master / second master common frame optimization according to the second embodiment of the invention . in a first frame n , base station s 1 includes , in order , a master common subframe , a master subframe , a secondary master subframe , and a slave subframe . base station s 2 includes , in order , a slave common subframe , a slave subframe , a master subframe , and a secondary master subframe . base station s 3 includes , in order , a secondary master common subframe , a secondary master subframe , a slave subframe , and a master subframe . in a second frame n + 1 , base station s 1 includes , in order , a secondary master common subframe , a master subframe , a secondary master subframe , and a slave subframe . base station s 2 includes , in order , a master common subframe , a slave subframe , a master subframe , and a secondary master subframe . base station s 3 includes , in order , a slave common subframe , a secondary master subframe , a slave subframe , and a master subframe . in a third frame n + 2 , base station s 1 includes , in order , a slave common subframe , a master subframe , a secondary master subframe , and a slave subframe . base station s 2 includes , in order , a slave common subframe , a slave subframe , a master subframe , and a secondary master subframe . base station s 3 includes , in order , a master common subframe , a secondary master subframe , a slave subframe , and a master subframe . fig1 shows a second subframe structure with master / second master common frame optimization according to the second embodiment of the invention . in frame n , base station s 1 includes a master common subframe and a master subframe , base station s 2 includes a slave common subframe and a slave subframe , and base station s 3 includes a secondary master common subframe and secondary master subframe . in frame n + 1 , base station s 1 includes a secondary master common subframe and a secondary master subframe , base station s 2 includes a master common subframe and a master subframe , and base station s 3 includes a slave common subframe and slave subframe . in frame n + 2 , base station s 1 includes a slave common subframe and a slave subframe , base station s 2 includes a secondary master common subframe and a secondary master subframe , and base station s 3 includes a master common subframe and master subframe . fig1 describes regions being served during the various subframes when the second subframe structure with master / second master common subframe shown in fig1 is used . note that in fig1 , all of the overlapping areas a , b , c , and d , can now be serviced using the subframe structure of the second embodiment of the present invention and none are blocked . thus , the subframe structure of the second embodiment of the present invention greatly improves services in the overlapping areas and reduces interference . subscriber station ( ss ): a generalized equipment set providing connectivity between subscriber equipment and a base station ( bs ). frame : a structured data sequence of fixed duration used by some phy ( physical layer specification ) specifications . a frame may contain both an uplink subframe and a downlink subframe . the downlink subframe is used for transmitting data from a bs ( base station ) to its associated sss . the uplink subframe is used for transmitting data from sss to the bs with which they associate . common subframe : that part of the mac ( media access control ) frame when all the systems of a coexistence community may operate in parallel . the operation during these subframes may require limitations of the transmit power . master subframe : that part of the mac frame which is used by a specific system ( master system ) of a coexistence community to operate with reduced interference from its neighboring systems . slave subframe : that part of the mac frame coinciding with the master subframe in which all systems ( other than the master ) of the coexistence community have restricted operation . map : a set of information that defines the entire access for a scheduling interval . there are two kinds of maps : downlink map ( dl -
