Cellular System: Frequency Reuse

The document discusses the basics of cellular system frequency reuse. It explains that cellular systems use many low-power transmitters to create cells that each cover a geographic area. As mobile users travel between cells, their conversations are handed off between cells to maintain service. Frequencies can be reused in cells that are farther away to allow for more cells and greater coverage area.

Cellular system
A cellular communication system use large number of low power transmitters to create cells. Cell is the basic geographic service area of wireless communication system. The geographical service area is covered by cellular radio antennas. The cell power depend on the user demand and density in the particular region. As the mobile node travel from cell to cell. Their conversations are handed off between cells to maintain seamless service. Channel (frequencies) used in one cell can be use in another cell at some distance away. More cells can be added to increase the service area.

Mobile communication principle


Each mobile(mobile station) uses a separate, temporary channel to talk to the cell site (base station). The cell site (base station) can talk to many mobiles at once using one channel per mobile. Channel use a pair of frequencies for communication, one frequency, the forward link, for transmitting from the cell site (base station) and the other frequency, the reverse link, for the cell site (base station) to receive calls from user Radio energy dissipates over the distance, so mobile must stay near the cell site (base station) to maintain communication.

Basic structure of mobile networks


It include telephone system and radio services.

Why a hexagon and not a circle to represent cells


When showing a cellular system we want to depict an area totally covered by radio, without any gaps. Any cellular system will have gaps in coverage, but the hexagonal shape lets us more neatly visualize, in theory, how the system is laid out. Notice how the circles below would leave gaps in our layout. The middle circles represent cell sites. This is where the base station radio equipment and their antennas are located. A cell site gives radio coverage to a cell.

Example
In this example, just above , the cell site transmits and receives on three different sets of channels, one for each part or sector of the three cells it covers.
