Cellular Concept
• Simple Solution
– Single high powered transmitter on a tall tower
– Good coverage but very low capacity
– No frequency reuse

• High Capacity Solution
– Cellular concept solves problem of low capacity
– Replaces a single high power transmitter (large cell)
with many low power transmitters (small cells)
– Much smaller and more efficient mobile units

Operation
• The Cellular Concept is a system level idea:
– Each base station is allocated a portion of the total
number of channels available to the entire system
– Nearby base stations are assigned different groups of
channels
– All channels are assigned to a relatively small number
of neighboring base stations

• The level of interference between base stations
(and the mobile users) is controlled

Scalability
• Frequency can be re-used as many times as
necessary as long as interference between cochannel stations can be kept within acceptable
limits.
• As the demand increases, the number of base
stations can be increased (with a corresponding
decrease in transmitter power)
• This fundamental principal is the foundation of all
modern wireless communication systems.

groups for all base stations within a system is
known as frequency re-use or frequency planning

Comments on Hexagonal
Cells
• Hexagon geometry approximates omnidirectional base station with free space
propagation
• When hexagons are used base stations can
either be
– in the center (center excited) - omni directional
antennas or
– on 3 of the six cell vertices (edge excited) sectored directional antennas

Simple Calculation
• Let S be the total number of duplex channels
• Let k be the number of channels in each cell
• N cells collectively use the complete set of S
available channels.
• N is the cluster size (N=4,7 or 12), then S = kN
• If a cluster is replicated M times
• Total number of duplex channels =MS= MkN
• 1/N is called the frequency re-use factor

More About Cellular Structure
• Each cell has exactly six equidistant
neighbors
• Thus there is only certain cluster sizes and
cell layouts possible
• It can be shown that the number of
hexagonal cells per cluster is given by
N = i2 + ij + j2
• i & j are non negative integers

i & j, Co-Channel Neighbors
• To find the nearest co-channel neighbors
• Move i cells along any chain of hexagons
and then
• Turn 60 degrees counter clockwise, and
move j cells

•This is the way to find the
central cell of the new cluster
•Number of cells in the

Channel Assignment
• Channel assignment (Frequency reuse)
– efficient utilization of radio spectrum
– increased capacity
– minimized interference

• Channel assignment can be
– fixed
– dynamic

• Affects performance especially handover
(handoff)

Fixed Channel Assignment
• Each cell is allocated a predetermined set of
channels
• Any call attempt within the cell can only be
served by the unused channels in that cell
• Variations that allow channel borrowing
exist
– A cell is allowed to borrow from its neighbor
– MSC supervises the borrowing procedure

Dynamic Channel Assignment
• Each time a call is attempted, the serving
BS request a channel from the MSC
• The lending algorithm take into account
– likelihood of future blocking
– frequency re-use of candidate channel
– other cost functions

• Dynamic schemes reduces the call blocking
probability and increases system capacity

Implications
• Dynamic schemes require the MSC to
collect real time data on all channels
– Channel occupancy
– Traffic distribution
– Radio signal strength indications (RSSI)

• Makes the MSC more complex, and
increases its storage and computational load

Handover (Handoff)
– Need to be performed successfully and
infrequently as possible and be transparent to
users
– Need to decide the optimum signal level to
perform handover
– Generally the level is decided the handover
level is set slightly above it

 = Pr handover - Pr minimum usable

Dwell Time
• The time a call may be maintained within a cell,
without handover, is called the dwell time.
• Dwell time is dependent on a number of factors
– propagation
– interference
– distance from BS etc.

• Therefore even a stationary subscriber may have a
random and finite dwell time

Mobile Assisted Handover
(MAHO)
• In analog systems the signal strength was measured
by the base station and supervised by the MSC,
• The MSC decides if a handover is necessary or not
• Digital systems handover decisions are mobile
assisted
– Mobile measures signal strength and reports to the
serving BS
– Handover is initiated when power received from the BS
of a neighboring cell begins to exceed the power received
from the current BS - certain level & duration

Handover 2
• MAHO is faster and more suited for micro cellular
environments
• It is also possible to have intersystem handover,
– Handover from a cell of one MSC to a cell of another
MSC

• Numerous issues
– A local call (initially) may become a long distance call
– Need to deal with incompatibility of the MSC

Handover Policy
• Ways of handling handover requests
– Same as all initial call requests
– Give it higher priority
– Queue requests

• Generally it is more annoying to have a call cut off
in mid conversation than being blocked on a new
call attempt
• Fraction of the total available channels in a cell is
reserved for handover requests from ongoing calls
- guard channel

Practical Handover
Considerations
• Cell dragging - pedestrian users that provide a
very strong signal to the BS (LOS), but moved to
a close range of another base station causing
interference
• Difficulty in obtaining physical cell sites
– Zoning laws (no high rise structures)
– Public protest (radiation concerns) e.t.c

• Too many handoffs for high speed mobiles (on a
vehicle)

Handoff Improvements
• First generation mobile 10s to make handoff
and  = 6-12 dB. ( = Pr handover - Pr minimum usable )
• GSM (II generation) 1-2s to make handoff with
 = 0-6 dB.
• Better system efficiency and handling high speed
vehicles

Soft Handoff
• Channelized wireless systems (such as GSM) have
to switch channels in the process of handoff
• There is always risk of losing the connection
• IS-95, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
system provides Soft Handoff.
• Soft Handoff does not mean changing the channel
but rather deciding which base station will handle
the connection
• This is a unique property of CDMA concept.

Co-channel Interference
• There are several cells that use the same set
frequencies
– co-channel cells

• Interference between signals from these cells is
called co-channel interference
• Unlike thermal noise, this cannot be overcome by
increasing the signal power
• The co-channel cells must be physically separated

Co-channel Interference
– Because the cell size is same, co-channel
interference is independent of transmitted power
– It is a function of the radius of the cell (R), and
the distance to the center of the nearest cochannel cell (D)
– For hexagonal geometry, co-channel reuse ratio
Q is given by

Carrier to Interference Ratio
– Carrier to Interference ratio (SIR or S/I) is also
independent of transmitted power
– It is a function of the radius of the cell (R), and
the distance to the center of the nearest cochannel cell (D)
– For the first tier in hexagonal geometry, Carrier
to Interference ratio is usually taken as

Adjacent Channel
Interference 1
– Interference resulting from signals which are
adjacent in frequency
– Results from imperfect receiver filters which
allow nearby frequencies to leak
• Particularly serious if an adjacent channel user is
transmitting very close to the a receiver

– Referred to as the near-far effect
• Nearby transmitter captures the receiver

Trunking
• Trunking is a statistical concept which allows a
large number of users to share relatively small
number of channels providing access on demand
from a pool of available channels.
• Relatively small number of channels can serve a
large number of users since all users are not
demanding access and utilization of the system at
the same time

Grade of Service
•

•

Grade of Service is a measure of the ability of a
trunked system to give access to a user requiring
service during the busiest hour (4-6pm, Thu, Fri)
Grade of Service is usually measured in two
ways
1. Probability that a call is blocked
2. Probability that a call will be delayed more than
specified queuing time (some tolerable delay)

  • 2. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Cellular Concept • Simple Solution – Single high powered transmitter on a tall tower – Good coverage but very low capacity – No frequency reuse • High Capacity Solution – Cellular concept solves problem of low capacity – Replaces a single high power transmitter (large cell) with many low power transmitters (small cells) – Much smaller and more efficient mobile units Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 2
  • 3. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Operation • The Cellular Concept is a system level idea: – Each base station is allocated a portion of the total number of channels available to the entire system – Nearby base stations are assigned different groups of channels – All channels are assigned to a relatively small number of neighboring base stations • The level of interference between base stations (and the mobile users) is controlled Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 3
  • 4. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Scalability • Frequency can be re-used as many times as necessary as long as interference between cochannel stations can be kept within acceptable limits. • As the demand increases, the number of base stations can be increased (with a corresponding decrease in transmitter power) • This fundamental principal is the foundation of all modern wireless communication systems.

  • 6. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Comments on Hexagonal Cells • Hexagon geometry approximates omnidirectional base station with free space propagation • When hexagons are used base stations can either be – in the center (center excited) - omni directional antennas or – on 3 of the six cell vertices (edge excited) sectored directional antennas Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 6
  • 7. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan On Hexagonal Cells..? • Hexagon geometry approximates omni-directional base station with free space propagation Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 7
  • 8. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Simple Calculation • Let S be the total number of duplex channels • Let k be the number of channels in each cell • N cells collectively use the complete set of S available channels. • N is the cluster size (N=4,7 or 12), then S = kN • If a cluster is replicated M times • Total number of duplex channels =MS= MkN • 1/N is called the frequency re-use factor Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 8
  • 9. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan More About Cellular Structure • Each cell has exactly six equidistant neighbors • Thus there is only certain cluster sizes and cell layouts possible • It can be shown that the number of hexagonal cells per cluster is given by N = i2 + ij + j2 • i & j are non negative integers Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 9
  • 10. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan i & j, Co-Channel Neighbors • To find the nearest co-channel neighbors • Move i cells along any chain of hexagons and then • Turn 60 degrees counter clockwise, and move j cells Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 10

  • 13. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Channel Assignment • Channel assignment (Frequency reuse) – efficient utilization of radio spectrum – increased capacity – minimized interference • Channel assignment can be – fixed – dynamic • Affects performance especially handover (handoff) Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 13
  • 14. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Fixed Channel Assignment • Each cell is allocated a predetermined set of channels • Any call attempt within the cell can only be served by the unused channels in that cell • Variations that allow channel borrowing exist – A cell is allowed to borrow from its neighbor – MSC supervises the borrowing procedure Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 14
  • 15. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Dynamic Channel Assignment • Each time a call is attempted, the serving BS request a channel from the MSC • The lending algorithm take into account – likelihood of future blocking – frequency re-use of candidate channel – other cost functions • Dynamic schemes reduces the call blocking probability and increases system capacity Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 15
  • 16. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Implications • Dynamic schemes require the MSC to collect real time data on all channels – Channel occupancy – Traffic distribution – Radio signal strength indications (RSSI) • Makes the MSC more complex, and increases its storage and computational load Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 16
  • 17. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Handover (Handoff) – Need to be performed successfully and infrequently as possible and be transparent to users – Need to decide the optimum signal level to perform handover – Generally the level is decided the handover level is set slightly above it  = Pr handover - Pr minimum usable Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 17
  • 18. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Example Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 18
  • 19. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Dwell Time • The time a call may be maintained within a cell, without handover, is called the dwell time. • Dwell time is dependent on a number of factors – propagation – interference – distance from BS etc. • Therefore even a stationary subscriber may have a random and finite dwell time Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 19
  • 20. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Mobile Assisted Handover (MAHO) • In analog systems the signal strength was measured by the base station and supervised by the MSC, • The MSC decides if a handover is necessary or not • Digital systems handover decisions are mobile assisted – Mobile measures signal strength and reports to the serving BS – Handover is initiated when power received from the BS of a neighboring cell begins to exceed the power received from the current BS - certain level & duration Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 20
  • 21. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Handover 2 • MAHO is faster and more suited for micro cellular environments • It is also possible to have intersystem handover, – Handover from a cell of one MSC to a cell of another MSC • Numerous issues – A local call (initially) may become a long distance call – Need to deal with incompatibility of the MSC Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 21
  • 22. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Handover Policy • Ways of handling handover requests – Same as all initial call requests – Give it higher priority – Queue requests • Generally it is more annoying to have a call cut off in mid conversation than being blocked on a new call attempt • Fraction of the total available channels in a cell is reserved for handover requests from ongoing calls - guard channel Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 22
  • 23. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Practical Handover Considerations • Cell dragging - pedestrian users that provide a very strong signal to the BS (LOS), but moved to a close range of another base station causing interference • Difficulty in obtaining physical cell sites – Zoning laws (no high rise structures) – Public protest (radiation concerns) e.t.c • Too many handoffs for high speed mobiles (on a vehicle) Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 23
  • 24. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Handoff Improvements • First generation mobile 10s to make handoff and  = 6-12 dB. ( = Pr handover - Pr minimum usable ) • GSM (II generation) 1-2s to make handoff with  = 0-6 dB. • Better system efficiency and handling high speed vehicles Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 24
  • 25. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Soft Handoff • Channelized wireless systems (such as GSM) have to switch channels in the process of handoff • There is always risk of losing the connection • IS-95, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system provides Soft Handoff. • Soft Handoff does not mean changing the channel but rather deciding which base station will handle the connection • This is a unique property of CDMA concept.

  • 27. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Co-channel Interference • There are several cells that use the same set frequencies – co-channel cells • Interference between signals from these cells is called co-channel interference • Unlike thermal noise, this cannot be overcome by increasing the signal power • The co-channel cells must be physically separated Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 27
  • 28. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Co-channel Interference – Because the cell size is same, co-channel interference is independent of transmitted power – It is a function of the radius of the cell (R), and the distance to the center of the nearest cochannel cell (D) – For hexagonal geometry, co-channel reuse ratio Q is given by D Q   3N R Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 28
  • 29. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Carrier to Interference Ratio – Carrier to Interference ratio (SIR or S/I) is also independent of transmitted power – It is a function of the radius of the cell (R), and the distance to the center of the nearest cochannel cell (D) – For the first tier in hexagonal geometry, Carrier to Interference ratio is usually taken as 4 S 1 D 1 2      3N  I 6 R  6 Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 29

  • 38. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Adjacent Channel Interference 1 – Interference resulting from signals which are adjacent in frequency – Results from imperfect receiver filters which allow nearby frequencies to leak • Particularly serious if an adjacent channel user is transmitting very close to the a receiver – Referred to as the near-far effect • Nearby transmitter captures the receiver Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 38
  • 39. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Adjacent Channel Interference 2 • Can be minimized by careful filtering & channel assignment • If the frequency re-use factor is small, the separation between adjacent channels may not be sufficient to keep the adjacent channel interference level within tolerable limits Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 39

  • 42. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Campus, Pakistan Trunking • Trunking is a statistical concept which allows a large number of users to share relatively small number of channels providing access on demand from a pool of available channels. • Relatively small number of channels can serve a large number of users since all users are not demanding access and utilization of the system at the same time Cellular Concept EE6733 Cellular Mobile Communications Week 5-6-7; Fall - 2013 © Dr. Noor M Khan EE, MAJU 42
