    Chapter – 5 : Network Planning

    Problem – 5.6

    (a) Determine the carrier-to-interference ratio, in dB, of a cellular system with a frequency
    reuse factor of K= 7.
    (b) Repeat (a) for K = 4.
    (c) If we consider multi-symbol QAM modulation for the digital transmission of the
    information, how many more bits per symbol can be transmitted with K = 4 as
    compared with K = 7 architecture ?

    Solution :

    The carrier-to-interference (C/I) is also known as signal-to-interference ration (Sr). This


    can be approximated using the following formula :

    Sr = (3/2) * N2 ------------------------------------------------ (1)


    If we convert the Sr given in equation (1) in dB, we obtain,

    Sr = 10 log (3/2) + 20 log (20)

    Sr = 1.76 + 20 log(N) ---------------------------------------(2)


    Where Sr = carrier-to-interference ratio and
    N = frequency reuse factor (in our problem N is
    replaced by K ie N and K are having same meanings)

    (a)

    First of all, let us concentrate the hexagonal cellular architecture with frequency reuse
    factor of K = 7 (shown in figure 1)
    Now , find Sr in dB for K = 7 (ie N = 7) so Rewriting formula for Sr from
    equation (2) is :

    Sr = 1.76 + 20 log(N)

    Here N = 7 is given so directly substituting this value in above equation, we get,

    B
    B C G
    C G A
    A D F
    D F E
    E B
    C G
    A
    D F
    E

    (Figure 1 : Hexagonal cellular system with a frequency reuse factor of K = 7)

    Sr = 1.76 + 20 log(7)

    = 1.76 + 16.902

    = 18.662 dB

    So for K = 7, Sr = 18.662 dB

    (b)

    Figure -2 shows hexagonal cellular architecture with a frequency reuse factor of K = 4,

    A
    D C
    A B A
    D C D C
    B A B
    D C
    B

    (Figure 2 : Hexagonal cellular system with a frequency reuse factor of K = 4)


    Let us find Sr in dB for K = 4 (ie N = 4) therefore, rewriting formula for Sr from
    equation (2) is :

    Sr = 1.76 + 20 log(N)

    Here N = 4 is given so directly substituting this value in above equation, we get,

    Sr = 1.76 + 20 log(4)

    = 1.76 + 12.042

    = 13.802 dB

    So for K = 4, carrier-to-interference ratio, Sr = 13.802 dB

    (c)

    If we are having frequency reuse factor of K = 7 ie in a cluster there would


    be 7 cells or 7 cells form one cluster while in case of K = 4, only four cells are
    required to form a cluster. And we know that if reuse factor is less then that cellular
    architecture supports more simultaneous users, therefore if we consider multi-symbol
    QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) for the digital transmission of the
    information, 3 more bits per symbol can be transmitted with K = 4 as compared with
    K = 7 architecture.
