    Study Notes

    Cellular Networks

    • Cellular networks utilize hexagonal cells for efficient signal coverage.
    • The distance between two cell centers can be calculated.
      • The formula for squared distance involves trigonometric functions, coordinates of the cell centers, and cell radius.
    • Cellular network clusters define the largest group of neighboring cells without overlapping portions.
      • Cluster area and cell area are related.
      • The formula for cluster area depends on distance and hexagonal shape.
      • The formula for the number of cells in a cluster relates to integer coordinates.
    • Main cluster parameters include calculated values of i, j, cluster size, distance relative to radius, and signal-to-interference ratio.
    • Co-channel interference occurs when different cells use the same frequency band.
      • The signal-to-noise ratio is determined by signal, noise, and interference powers.
      • For hexagonal cells, interference is maximum at the boundaries of neighboring cells.
    • Interference reduction strategies include increasing the number of cells in a cluster, cell sectorization, and transmitter power control.
    • Adjacent-channel interference affects cells using similar frequencies.
    • Small cell designs (macro, micro, pico, femto) use different technologies for better coverage in densely populated areas.
    • Interference alignment is a technique that strategically aligns interference signals in wireless networks.
    • This process is used to improve transmission and minimize overlap of signals in specific cases.
    • It's done by splitting signal resources across frequency, time, and code.
    • Network traffic theory utilizes assumptions addressing statistical behavior of network users.
    • Circuit switching and blocking systems are key concepts.
    • Load intensity and blocking probability definitions, formulas, and examples are included.
    • Network traffic uses Erlang formulas to measure the relationship of channels and load intensity to determine probability of blocking.
    • Calculations show examples that relate the given probability to numbers of channels to support a defined load.
    • Real load intensity can be derived from the rate of serviced requests.
    • Channel usage intensity helps determine usage of channels in a network.
    • Real examples of calculations help in practice applications.

    Exercises

    • Exercise 1: Two mobile operators, utilizing varying numbers of cells and channels, need to calculate the number of subscribers each can support, given specific conditions (blocking probability, call rate, and conversation length).
    • Exercise 2: Calculations of channel usage intensity for various cell configurations (isotropic, three-sectored, and six-sectored) are required.
