Introduction
Overlapping and synchronising
For interference-free cooperation in a multi-cell DECT network, the base stations must
synchronise. In order to synchronise the base stations and ensure a smooth handover, the
cells must overlap.
A sufficient number of large overlapping zones between neighbouring cells must be
ensured. To achieve synchronisation, the reception must be of sufficient quality to ensure
that the base stations can receive one another securely. For a handover, a handset must
have a connection of sufficient quality to both base stations. You will find information
about possible interferences in the
section
.
The more densely the base stations are installed, the greater the overlap. Here, a compro-
mise must be found between keeping the area relatively open and installing the lowest
possible number of base stations.
