Question

Problem 4 (12 marks): Consider a cellular system comprising 32 cells (figure below, left) with a cell radius of 1.6km, a total frequency bandwidth that supports 336 traffic channels, and a reuse factor of N = 7. a) Find the exact geographical area covered by the system, the number of channels per cell, and the number of concurrent calls that can be handled over the total area. b) Repeat part a) for a system comprising 128 cells with cell radius of 0.8km (figure, right). c) Briefly explain and illustrate the concepts of cell splitting and cell sectoring, which can be used to increase the number of simultaneous channels in the above systems.
