Why Use Cells ?Why Use Cells ?
If there was no cell
Limited frequency spectrum for available Mobile Communication.
Frequency utilization is inefficient.
Single high power antenna causes to be the limited number of users.

Why Use Cells ?Why Use Cells ?
Advantages of cell structures:
More capacity due to frequency reuse.Less transmission power needed.Deals interference, transmission area locally.
Problems:
Fixed network needed for the base stations.Handover necessary.Interference with other cells.
6
Frequency ReuseFrequency Reuse
Adjacent cells are assigned different frequencies to avoid interference or crosstalk.
The same frequency is reused in different areas for after a certain distance.
In GSM networks a frequency reuse pattern with
k = 3, 4, 7, 12 or 21. (k= Frequency reuse factor)
Each ‘k’ number of cells make a cluster.
7
Different Frequency ReuseDifferent Frequency Reuse
Fixed frequency assignment:
certain frequencies are assigned to a certain cell.problem: different traffic load in different cells.
Dynamic frequency assignment:
base station chooses frequencies depending on the frequencies already used in neighbor cells.more capacity in cells with more traffic.

Adjacent Channel InterferenceAdjacent Channel Interference
Comes from imperfect filters that allow frequency leakage into the band
Serious problem if interferer is nearby, near-far effect
Nearby mobile transmits on a frequency near to that of a weak mobile
Base station receivers need high-Q filters to reject adjacent channel interference.

Co Channel InterferenceCo Channel Interference
One of the primary forms of man-made signal degradation associated with digital radio, co-channel interference occurs when the same carrier frequency reaches the same receiver from two separate transmitters.
In a fully equipped hexagonal-shaped cell system, there is always 6 co channel cell.

MS HandoffMS Handoff
Max Handoff Gap: 150 ms in the case of inter cell.
When the mean signal (over some predetermined time) is below some threshold
17
Handoff ProcedureHandoff Procedure BTS provides list to MS of available channels in
neighboring cells via BCCH (Broadcast Control Channel)
MS monitors RSS from the BCCHs of the neighboring cells and reports it to MSC using SACCH
BTS also monitors RSS of MS. Proprietary algorithms are used to decide when to
handoff. MSC negotiates new channel with the new BSS and
indicates to the MS to initiate a handoff . Upon completion of handoff MS informs the MSC. Old BSS is informed to release the resources.

High speed vehicles can cross many “small” cells in a short time.
Umbrella cell. Large cell with a powerful tower to handle high speed vehicles
Another problem is called cell dragging.
Happens when the user moves slowly away from the cell and the tower didn’t recognize it due to strong average signal.

Sectored CellsSectored CellsTo reduce the adjacent channel interference & co-
channel interference a cell can be divided into 3 or 6 sectors according to the demand.
Large cell (low density)
Small cell (high density)
Smaller cell(higher density)

GSM 900 uses 25 MHz frequency spectrum with 124 channels for uplink & downlink.
Each channels have 200 KHz bandwidth.
Each two channels are separated by 1.6 KHz guard band.
Each channel have 8 time slots which allows 8 subscribers to use same frequency by TDMA.

Types of AntennaTypes of Antenna
There are three Types of antennas:
Omni-directional
Semi-directional
Highly-directional
38
Omni-Directional AntennaOmni-Directional AntennaThe dipole is an omni-directional antenna, because
it radiates its energy equally in all directions around its axis. The signal from an omni-directional antenna radiates in a 360-degree horizontal beam.

Semi-Directional AntennaSemi-Directional Antenna
Semi-directional antennas often radiate in a hemispherical or cylindrical coverage pattern. Semi-directional antennas types frequently used with wireless LANs are Patch, Panel, and Yagi antennas.
41
Usage of Semi-Directional AntennaUsage of Semi-Directional Antenna
Semi-directional antennas are ideally suited for short & medium range bridging. A corridor, or a large room, a semi-directional antenna would be a good choice to provide the proper coverage.

Highly-Directional AntennaHighly-Directional Antenna
Highly-directional antennas emit the most narrow signal beam of any antenna type & have the greatest gain of these three groups of antennas. Highly-directional antennas are typically concave, dish-shaped devices.
Highly Directional Parabolic Dish Antenna & Grid Antenna45
Usage of Highly-Directional AntennaUsage of Highly-Directional Antenna
These antennas are used for point-to-point communication links, and can transmit at distances up to 25 miles. Highly directional antennas have a very narrow beam width and must be accurately aimed at each other.
Radiation Pattern of Highly Directional Antenna46
LOS (Line of Sight)LOS (Line of Sight)
Directional antenna always propagate signal through LOS. Basically LOS are two types:
1.Visual LOS
2.RF LOS

Fresnel ZoneFresnel Zone
Typically 40% fresnel zone blockage introduce a manageable amount of interference into the link.
But more then 40% is means the link will be unreliable.
Allowing no more then 20% blockage of fresnel zone. When system is design that time we have to keep it 0%.

Data Transfer Over GSMData Transfer Over GSM
Four enhancements to GSM for data
HSCSD: High Speed Circuit Switched Data GPRS: General Packet Radio Service EGPRS: Enhanced GPRS EDGE: Enhanced Data rates for the GSM Evolution
Technically EGPRS and EDGE are same.
