Radio Cell Planning

STEP 2: NOMINAL CELL PLAN

• Frequency Re–use
• The number of calls that the network can support is limited by the amount of radio frequencies allocated to that network.
• a cellular network can overcome this constraint and maximize the number of subscribers that it can service by using frequency re-use.
• Frequency re-use means that two radio channels within the same network can use exactly the same pair of frequencies, provided that there is a sufficient geographical distance.
• The tighter frequency re-use plan, the greater the capacity potential of the network.
