Cellular mobile communication

1.Explain about Concept of cell splitting?

Cell splitting is the process of. 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 increases the. capacity of a cellular system since it increases the number of times that channels are reused.

2.Types of co channel interference?

Repeated use of the same frequency channels in different co-channel cells produces co-channel interference. Non-co-channel interference (NCCI) - Non-co-channel interference is due to signals that are adjacent in the frequency to the desired signal.

3.Channel sharing?

In telecommunication, frequency sharing or channel sharing is the assignment to or use of the same radio frequency by two or more stations that are separated geographically or that use the frequency at different times.

4.What is omni cell and sectorized cell ?

Omni cells:

An omni cell is a cell where the antenna transmits omni-directional. The coverage area of an omni cell is in principle a hexagon/circle, but in reality a rough pattern.

 Sector cells:

A sector cell is a cell where the antenna transmits directional. 

Examples of sector cell types are:

-           2-sector cells (e.g. for highways)

-           3-sector cells.

  2. Explain about frequency Reuse concept?

Frequency reusing is the concept of using the same radio frequencies within a given area, that are separated by considerable distance, with minimal interference, to establish communication.

Frequency reuse offers the following benefits −

Allows communications within cell on a given frequency

Limits escaping power to adjacent cells

Allows re-use of frequencies in nearby cells

Uses same frequency for multiple conversations

10 to 50 frequencies per cell

3.a)Explain about permeance criteria of cellular mobile communication?

The system should serve an area as large as possible. The transmitted power would have to be very high to illuminate weak spots with sufficient reception, a significant added cost factor. The higher the transmitted power, the harder it becomes to control interference.

b) Explain about cellular traffic?

Mobile radio networks have traffic issues that do not arise in connection with the fixed line PSTN. Important aspects of cellular traffic include: quality of service targets, traffic capacity and cell size, spectral efficiency and sectorization, traffic capacity versus coverage, and channel holding time analysis. Trunking

Cellular radios rely on trunking to accommodate a large number of users in a limited radio spectrum. Each user is allocated a channel on need/per call basis and on termination of the cell, the channel is returned to the common pool of RF channels.

Grade of Service (GOS)

Because of trunking, there is a likelihood that a call is blocked if all the RF channels are engaged. This is called ‘Grade of Service’ “GOS”.

Cellular designer estimates the maximum required capacity and allocates the proper number of RF channels, in order to meet the GOS. For these calculations, ‘ERLANG B’ table is used.
