Cellular Communication
Coverage Concept
.
he cellular systems is made up of numerous transmitting and receiving
sites, whose individual coverage areas partially overlap. The concept
of frequency re-use, same frequency is used by several sites, allows a
high traffic density in a wide area. Due to the limited transmission range of the
terminals, cellular systems are based on a large number of base stations on
the infrastructure side, scattered over the area to cover, with each covering a
fairly small geographical zone called cell. Cells are often represented by
hexagons (see figure 1.1.).
