Commonly used hexagonal cellular reuse clusters.

• Tessellating hexagonal cluster sizes, N, satisfy

N = i2 + ij + j2

where i, j are non-negative integers and i ≥ j.

– hence N = 1, 3, 4, 7, 9, 12, . . . are allowable.

RADIO PROPAGATION MECHANISMS

• Radio propagation is by three mechanisms:

– Reflections off of objects larger than a wavelength, sometimescalled scatterers.

– Diffractions around the edges of objects

– Scattering by objects smaller than a wavelength

• A mobile radio environment is characterized by three nearly inde-pendent propagation factors:

– Path loss attenuation with distance.

– Shadowing caused by large obstructions such as buildings, hillsand valleys.

– Multipath-fading caused by the combination of multipath propa-gation and transmitter, receiver and/or scatterer movement.

20

FREE SPACE PATH LOSS (FSPL)

• Equation for free-space path loss is

LFS =

(

4πd

λc

)2

.

and encapsulates two effects.

1. The first effect is that spreading out of electromagnetic energyin free space is determined by the inverse square law, i.e.,

µΩr(d) = Ωt

1

4πd2,

where

– Ωt is the total transmit power

– µΩr(d) is the received power per unit area or power spatial den-

sity (in watts per meter-squared) at distance d. Note that thisterm is not frequency dependent.

21

FREE SPACE PATH LOSS (FSPL)

• Second effect

2. The second effect is due to aperture, which determines how wellan antenna picks up power from an incoming electromagneticwave. For an isotropic antenna, we have

µΩp(d) = µΩr

4π= Ωt

(

,

where µΩp(d) is the received power. Note that aperature is en-

tirely dependent on wavelength, λc, which is how the frequency-dependent behavior arises in the free space path loss.

• For free space, the propagation path loss is

LFS (dB) = 10log10

PROPAGATION OVER A FLAT SPECULAR SURFACE

• The length of the direct path is

d1 =

d2 + (hb − hm)2

and the length of the reflected path is

d2 =

d2 + (hb + hm)2

d = distance between mobile and base stations

hb = base station antenna height

hm = mobile station antenna height

• Given that d ≫ hbhm, we have d1 ≈ d and d2 ≈ d.

• However, since the wavelength is small, the direct and reflectedpaths may add constructively or destructively over small distances.The carrier phase difference between the direct and reflected pathsis

φ2 − φ1 =2π

λc(d2 − d1)

• Taking into account the phase difference, the received signal poweris

µΩp(d) = Ωt

,

where a and b are the amplitude attenuation and phase change in-troduced by the flat reflecting surface.

• If we assume a perfect specular reflection, then a = 1 and b = π forsmall θ. Then

µΩp(d) = Ωt

• Under the condition that d ≫ hbhm, the above reduces to

where we have invoked the small angle approximation sin x ≈ x forsmall x.

• Propagation over a flat specular surface differs from free space prop-agation in two respects

– it is not frequency dependent

– signal strength decays with the with the fourth power of thedistance, rather than the square of the distance.

• In reality, the earth’s surface is curved and rough, and the signalstrength typically decays with the inverse β power of the distance,and the received power at distance d is

µΩp(d) =

µΩp(do)

(d/do)β

where µΩp(do) is the received power at a reference distance do.

• Expressed in units of dBm, the received power is

µΩp (dBm)(d) = µΩp (dBm)

(do)− 10β log10(d/do) (dBm)

• β is called the path loss exponent. Typical values of µΩp (dBm)(do) and

β have been determined by empirical measurements for a variety ofareas

Co-channel Interference

Worst case co-channel interference on the forward channel.

Worst Case Co-Channel Interference

• For N = 7, there are six first-tier co-channel BSs, located at dis-tances

√13R,4R,

√19R,5R,

√28R,

√31R from the MS.

• Assuming that the BS antennas are all the same height and all BSstransmit with the same power, the worst case carrier-to-interferenceratio, Λ, is

Λ =R−β

(√13R)−β + (4R)−β + (

√19R)−β + (5R)−β + (

√31R)−β

=1

(√13)−β + (4)−β + (

√19)−β + (5)−β + (

√28)−β + (

√31)−β

.

• With a path loss exponent β = 3.5, the worst case Λ is

Λ(dB) =

14.56 dB for N = 79.98 dB for N = 47.33 dB for N = 3

.

– Shadows will introduce variations in the worst case Λ.

8

Cell Sectoring

Worst case co-channel interference on the forward channel with 120o cellsectoring.

9

• 120o cell sectoring reduces the number of co-channel base stationsfrom six to two. For N = 7, the two first tier interferers are locatedat distances

√19R,

√28R from the MS.

• The carrier-to-interference ratio becomes

Λ =R−β

(√19R)−β + (

√28R)−β

=1

(√19)−β + (

√28)−β

.

• Hence

Λ(dB) =

20.60 dB for N = 717.69 dB for N = 413.52 dB for N = 3

.

• For N = 7, 120o cell sectoring yields a 6.04 dB C/I improvementover omni-cells.

• The minimum allowable cluster size is determined by the thresholdΛ, Λth, of the radio receiver. For example, if the radio receiver hasΛth = 15.0 dB, then a 4/12 reuse cluster can be used (4/12 means4 cells or 12 sectors per cluster).
