wired network
• By limiting the coverage area to within the boundary of the cell, the
channel groups may be reused to cover different cells.
•• Keep interference levels within tolerable limits.
C = MkN = MS
Total Capacity of a System
• The capacity is directly proportional to the number of
replication M.
• Frequency reuse - there are several cells that use the same set
of frequencies
– co-channel cells
– co-channel interference
• To reduce co-channel interference, co-channel cell must be
separated by a minimum distance.
• When the size of the cell is approximately the same
– co-channel interference is independent of the transmitted power
– co-channel interference is a function of
• R: Radius of the cell
• D: distance to the center of the nearest co-channel cell
• Increasing the ratio Q=D/R, the interference is reduced.
• Q is called the co-channel reuse ratio
Co-channel Interference and System Capacity
d
Pr (dBm ) = P0 (dBm ) − 10n log
d0
P0 is the received power in ref point in the far field region
n is the path loss exponent which ranges between 2 and 4.
Signal to Interference power
• When the transmission power of each base station is equal, SIR
for a mobile can be approximated as

=
I 2( D − R)−4 + ( D − R / 2)−4 + ( D + R / 2)−4 + ( D + R)−4 + D −4
Adjacent Channel Interference
• Adjacent channel interference: interference from adjacent in
frequency to the desired signal.
– Imperfect receiver filters allow nearby frequencies to leak into the
passband
– Performance degrade seriously due to near-far effect.

Adjacent Channel Interference
• Keep the frequency separation between each channel in a given cell as large as
possible
• A channel separation greater than six is needed to bring the adjacent channel
interference to an acceptable level.
Power Control for Reducing Interference
• Ensure each mobile transmits the smallest power necessary to maintain a good
quality link on the reverse channel
– increase SIR
GOS
It is a measure of the ability of a user to access a trunked system
during the busiest hour.
Trunking and Grade of Service
• Erlangs: One Erlangs represents the amount of traffic density
carried by a channel that is completely occupied.
– Ex: A radio channel that is occupied for 30 minutes during an hour
carries 0.5 Erlangs of traffic.
• Grade of Service (GOS): The likelihood that a call is blocked.
• Each user generates a traffic intensity of Au Erlangs given by
Au = H
H: average duration of a call.
: average number of call requests per unit time
• For a system containing U users and an unspecified number of
channels, the total offered traffic intensity A, is given by
A = UAu
• For C channel trunking system, the traffic intensity, Ac is given
as A = UA / C

Microcell Zone Concept
• Antennas are placed at the outer edges of the cell
• Any channel may be assigned to any zone by the base station
• Mobile is served by the zone with the strongest signal.
Solution:
Total bandwidth= 30 MHz
Channel bandwidth = 25 KHz x 2 simplex channels=50 KHz /duplex channel.
Total available channels= 30000000/ 50000 =600 channels
