1/3 Re-Use: Table 1

1) In a 1/3 frequency reuse network, frequencies are divided into three groups and assigned to each of the three sectors in a cell to avoid interference. Within a cell, the default MAIO value is recommended to avoid adjacent channel interference if there are enough frequencies. 2) While interference may occasionally occur between non-synchronized cells within a site, synchronizing the site so frequency groups are the same avoids this by ensuring only one frequency is active in the site at a time. 3) Assigning consecutive frequency groups to each sector and using default MAIO values avoids interference within a synchronized site. Assigning spread-out frequencies requires creating a manual MAIO list for one sector to minimize interference.

1/3 Re-use

In a network using 1/3 frequency re-use, all frequencies are re-used in every site (if the
site has three sectors). However, the frequencies are split up into three groups, one for
each cell. In a 1/3 planned site without Synchronization, only considerations concerning
adjacent frequencies within a cell has to be taken. The default value for the parameter
MAIO is recommended to be used for each cell since it prevents adjacent channel
interference within a cell if there are enough frequencies in the HFS. In this case enough
means:

“number of frequencies in the HFS” >= 2*(number of TRXs in the CHGR)

Non-Synchronized cells may however suffer from adjacent channel interference from
time to time from within the site. By synchronizing the site, this interference can be
avoided as long as the HFSs within the site have the same number of frequencies.

By using a set of consecutive adjacent frequencies in each cell, in combination with


MAIO = DEFAULT, adjacent channel interference within a synchronized site will be
avoided as shown in Table 1 . See also Figure 3 .

Table 1 By using the default MAIO allocation strategy for a Synchronized site with an adjacent
consecutive set of frequencies in each cell, adjacent channel interference can be avoided. The
MAIO lists will be (0, 2). The marked frequencies in the table are the ones that are used at an
instant in time. For cyclic hopping, the next frequencies used would be: 2, 4, 7, 9, 12, 14.
HFS for cell A HFS for cell B HFS for cell C
> 1< > 6< > 11<
2 7 12
>3 < > 8< > 13<
4 9 14
5 10 15

If all frequencies are spread out evenly between the co-sited cells' HFSs as shown in the
table below, at least one manual MAIO list has to be created. E.g. a site configured as
Table 2 may have default MAIO lists (i.e. 0, 2) in cell A and cell C. A manual MAIO list
has to be created for cell B to minimize the interference (if the site is synchronized). This
MAIO list may use the MAIO values that are not yet taken by the default lists, e.g. 1 & 3.
At an instant in time the marked frequencies in the table below will be used and
interference is in this way avoided. This is further shown in Figure 3 .

Table 2 Adjacent channel interference can here be avoided by using a mixture of two default
MAIO lists and a manual MAIO list. The MAIO lists will be (0, 2) for cell A and cell C. Cell B
requires the manual MAIO list: (1, 3). The marked frequencies in the table are the ones that are
used at an instant in time. For cyclic hopping, the next frequencies used would be: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12,
14.

Figure 3 Comparison between a configuration with adjacent frequencies in the HFSs
(left site — “Blocked”) and a configuration with evenly spread out frequencies in the HFSs
(right site — “Staggered”). The “adjacent” (or “Blocked”) configuration can use the
default list in each cell. The “evenly spread out” (or “Staggered”) configuration can also
use the default list (i.e. 0, 2) except for the, in figure, lower right cell. In this cell a
manual MAIO list has to be defined (i.e. 1, 3) to minimize interference.
