  Inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) and intra-cell diversity (ICD)
play important roles in improving cellular downlink coverage. Modeling cellular
base stations (BSs) as a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP), this paper
provides explicit finite-integral expressions for the coverage probability with
ICIC and ICD, taking into account the temporal/spectral correlation of the
signal and interference. In addition, we show that in the high-reliability
regime, where the user outage probability goes to zero, ICIC and ICD affect the
network coverage in drastically different ways: ICD can provide order gain
while ICIC only offers linear gain. In the high-spectral efficiency regime
where the SIR threshold goes to infinity, the order difference in the coverage
probability does not exist, however the linear difference makes ICIC a better
scheme than ICD for realistic path loss exponents. Consequently, depending on
the SIR requirements, different combinations of ICIC and ICD optimize the
coverage probability.
