  1. Wireless Systems Cellular Concept

  2. Introduction • Technically speaking a cell is formally defined as an area wherein the use of radio communication resources by the MS is controlled by a BS. • The size and shape of the cell and the amount of the resources allocated to each cell dictate the performance of the system to a large extent, given the number of users, average frequency of calls being made, average duration of the call time, and so on. • The lecture will highlight many parameters associated with the cell and their corresponding correlation to the cellular concept.

  3. Cell Area • In a cellular system, the most important factor is the size and the shape of the cell. • A cell is the radio area covered by the transmitting station or BS. • All MSs in that area are connected and serviced by BS. • Therefore ideally the area covered by a BS can be represented by a circular cell, with a radius R from the center of the BS. • There are many factors that cause reflections and refractions of the signal including the elevation of terrain, presence of hills etc.

  4. Cell Area (Continued) • The actual area of the cell is determined by the received signal strength in the surrounding area. • Therefore the coverage may be little distorted. • An appropriate model of a cell is needed before the cellular system can be analyzed and evaluated.

  5. Cell Geometry

  6. Cell Area (Continued) • There are many possible models that can be used, to represent a cell boundary and the most popular alternatives of hexagonal, square and triangle were shown in the previous slide. • The most ideal shape that is used for modeling and simulation is hexagonal, why? • If the cell area is increased, the number of channels per unit area is reduced for the same number of channels and is good for less populated areas but not for highly populated areas? • What would you suggest in that scenario?

  7. Impact of cell shape and radius on service characteristics

  8. Signal Strength and Cell Parameters • Cellular system depend on the radio signal received by a MS throughout the cell and on the contours of signal strength emanating from the BSs of two adjacent cellsiand j, as illustrated in the figure below;

  9. Signal Strength and Cell Parameters (Continued) • As discussed before, the contours may not be concentric circles and could be distorted by atmospheric conditions. One example of distorted tiles is shown below;

  10. Signal Strength and Cell Parameters (Continued) • It is clear that signal strength goes down as one moves away from BS.

  12. Capacity of a Cell

  13. Frequency Re-Use • Earlier cellular systems employed FDMA, and the range was limited to a radius from 2 to 20 Km. • The same frequency band or channel used in a cell can be re-used in another cell as long as the cells are far apart from each other and the signal strength do not interfere with each other. • This in return enhance the bandwidth of each cell. • A typical cluster of seven cells and four such clusters with no overlapping is shown in the next figure.
