Study Notes
Cellular System Basics
- A cellular system is a network of geographic cells, each served by a fixed location transceiver, known as a cell site or base station.
- The concept behind cellular systems is to provide a network of low-power transmitters to serve a specific geographic area, allowing for efficient use of frequencies.
Cell Size Determination
- The size of a cell in a cellular system is determined by the primary factor of the distance a signal can travel before becoming too weak.
- The power of the transmitter, terrain, and environment also play a role in determining the size of a cell.
Frequency Reuse
- Frequency reuse aims to achieve efficient use of frequencies by reusing frequencies in different cells, allowing for a large number of simultaneous conversations.
- Neighboring cells must not share the same channels to avoid interference.
Cell Distribution and Clustering
- Radio channels are distributed in a cellular mobile radio system by allocating a set of frequencies to a cluster of cells, which are then reused in different clusters.
- Clustering cells into clusters allows for efficient use of frequencies, and the number of cells in each cluster is significant in determining the capacity of the system.
- The purpose of clustering cells is to enable frequency reuse, increasing the capacity of the system.
Cell Types
- Macro cells are used in remote and sparsely populated areas, while micro cells are used in densely populated areas to increase capacity.
- Selective cells are used in some cases to provide additional coverage and capacity.
Importance of Transmitter Power
- Using low-power transmitters in a cellular system is important to prevent interference between cells and to allow for efficient use of frequencies.
- Very powerful transmitters are not used in cellular systems because they would cause interference and reduce the capacity of the system.
GSM Development
- GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) was developed to provide a unified standard for mobile communication, allowing for roaming and international communication.
Key Conditions for Proper Functioning
- A key condition for the proper functioning of a cellular system is that the distance between cells using the same frequency must be sufficient to prevent interference.
- Receiver filters are important in maintaining communication links within the cellular network by filtering out unwanted signals.
- Verification of the system's design and implementation is crucial for a cellular system to work properly.
