The Cellular Concept
Early Mobile Communications Single, high powered transmitter with an antenna mounted on a tall
tower The Cellular Concept
Replace a single high power transmitter (large cell) with many low power transmitters (small cells) each providing coverage to only a small portion of the service area

Each base station is allocated a group radio channels to be used within a small geographic area
Base station in adjacent cells are assigned channel groups which contain completely different channels than neighboring cells

A Cluster: A Group of N cells that which collectively use the complete set of available frequencies
Total Number of Channels in the System:
C=MkN=MS
M: Number of clusters within the systemK: Number of channels per cellN: Cluster SizeS: Number of available physical channels

Locating Co-channel Cells Number of Cells per Cluster N = i2+ij+j2, i, j are non-negative integers To find nearest co-channel neighbor of a given cell
Move i cells along any chain of hexagons Turn 600 counter clockwise and move j cells
i=3, j=2, N=19

Trunking & Grade of Service
Trunked Radio System:
Each user is allocated a channel on per call basis, and upon termination of the call, the previously occupied channel is immediately returned to the pool of available channels.
Grade of Service:
A measure of the ability of a user to access the trunked system
GOS measures in cellular networks Probability that a call is blocked Probability a call experiences a delay greater than a certain queuing
time

Traffic Intensity
Traffic intensity generated by each user: Au Erlangs Au = H
H : average duration of the callλ : average number of call requests per unit time
For a system containing U users and unspecified number of channels, Total offered traffic intensity: A Erlangs
A = UAu
In C channel trunked system, if the traffic is equally distributed among the channels, Traffic intensity per channel : Ac Erlangs
Ac = UAu/C

Types of Trunked SystemsCalls Blocked Cleared Trunking SystemNo queuing provided for call requests and calls are blocked if no available channels
Calls Blocked Delayed Trunking SystemQueuing is provided to hold call requests. Calls are blocked if no available channels for a certain delay
Assumptions: Calls arrive as determined by Poisson distribution Infinite number of users Memoryless arrivals of requests : all users can request
channel at any time Probability of user occupying a channel is exponentially
distributed Finite number of channels available in the trunking pool

The wireless environment constitutes a shared medium
Interference is the major limiting factor in performance of wireless systems in general

Frequency reuse implies that several cells use the same set of channels

Improving SIR means increasing cluster size, which corresponds to a decrease in system capacity
Decreasing the cell size does not affect the SIR as Q=D/R remains constant. A decrease in cell size corresponds to an increase in system capacity

Adjacent Channel Interference
Adjacent channel interference results from imperfect receiver which allows nearby frequencies to leak into the passband
Adjacent channel interference can be minimized through careful filtering and channel assignments

Improving Coverage and Capacity in Cellular Systems: Cell Splitting
Subdividing a congested cell into smaller cells, each with its own base station and a corresponding reduction in antenna height and transmitter power Cell splitting Increasing system capacity by increasing the number of clusters in a given area
nSIR Q , Q=D R 3N
Decreasing Transmitter Power
The SIR is independent of transmitted power as long as it is the same for all base stations
rSNR P Noise The SNR must be a above a minimum threshold controlled by Pr
Why not make Transmitter Power as low as possible?
