EXPERIMENT No. 1
AIM : To study frequency reuse concept to find the co-channel cells for a particular cell.
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT: Python
THEORY:
Each cellular base station is allocated a group of radio channels to be used within a small
geographic area called a cell. Base stations in adjacent cells are assigned channel groups which
contain completely different channels than neighboring cells. Base station antennas are
designed to achieve the desired coverage within a particular cell. By limiting the coverage area
within the boundaries of a cell, the same group of channels may be used to cover different cells
that are separated from one another by geographic distances large enough to keep interference
levels within tolerable limits. The design process of selecting and allocating channel groups for
all cellular base stations within a system is called frequency reuse or frequency planning.
The hexagonal cell shape is conceptual and is the simplistic model of the radio
coverage for each base station. It has been universally adopted since the hexagon permits easy
and manageable analysis of a cellular system. The actual radio coverage of a system is known
as the footprint and is determined from old measurements and propagation prediction models.
Although the real footprint is amorphous in nature, a regular cell shape is needed for systematic
system design and adaptation for future growth.
Co-channel Cells: A larger cluster size causes the ratio between the cell radius and the
distance between co-channel cells to decrease reducing co-channel interference. The value of
N is a function of how much interference a mobile or base station can tolerate while
maintaining a sufficient quality of communications. Since each hexagonal cell has six
equidistant neighbors and the line joining the centers of any cell and each of its neighbors are
separated by multiples of 60 degrees, only certain cluster sizes and cell layouts are possible.
To connect without gaps between adjacent cells, the geometry of hexagons is such that the
number of cells per cluster, N, can only have values that satisfy,
N = i2 + ij + j2;
For N = 19 (i.e., i = 3, j = 2).
Where,
i and j are non-negative integers
To find the nearest co-channel neighbours of a particular cell,
a. move i cells along any chain of hexagons then,
b. turn 60 degrees counter-clockwise and move j cells.
