frequency reuse.
• Draw a diagram of a typical cellular cluster & explain the
meaning of frequency reuse number.
• Discuss how the capacity of a cellular system may be
expanded.
• Explain the difference between cell splitting and sectoring.

The Cellular Concept
• Frequency reuse can be maximized – multiplying the
number of available channels in a particular geographical
area.
• guiding principle for AM broadcasting.
• Simplex transmission – to reach many RX as possible –
entails the use of high power Transmitter in the trading
area.
• Duplex transmission – simultaneous users of the available
radio spectrum .
• Reuse of that spectrums crucial to maximize the number of
potential users.
• Provides a means of maximizing radio spectrum usage.
• Benefit – smaller cells – power requirements for the mobile
are reduced.

The cellular advantage
• Acquisition of lands for cell sites – associated HW – RBS
& BSC, antennas & towers – communication link
between the BSs – MSCs - cost of Radio frequency
spectrum.
• Mobile Service provider – profit - if they can support a
sufficient number of mobile subscribers.
• The cellular concept allows large enough increase in
capacity to make these operations economically feasible.
• Basic cellular architecture consists of dividing up the
coverage area to number of smaller areas or cells.
• This is done in such a way as to minimize interference
but at the same time provide the necessary system
performance to handle traffic load with in the cells.
• Antenna with best reception of the mobile – for both uplink &
downlink.
• As the mobile travels with in the microcell – same channel can be
used.
• When mobile moves to another zone – RBS simply switches the
channel to a different zone.
• PSTN – circuit – fixed part of the network & wireless network will
allocate a pair of radio channels for the air interface connections.
• Process successful – MS location must be known.
