Frequency planning
Split total bandwidth in N sets of k channels each
Allocate one channel set per cell without gaps and repeat
Certain values of N lead to regular repeat patterns without
gaps, i.e., 3, 4, 7, 9, 12 and their integer multiples.
N increases, so does D and co-channel interference
decreases
N increases, the number of channels per cell decrease and
so does the system capacity
How can we improve this situation?
CELL SECTORING
Use directional Antennas; Propagation can be in 120
or 60 degree sectors
Sectoring improves SIR by reducing the interference
More handoffs, however, as long as Base station
handles handoff, MSC may be spared
Trunking efficiency may be reduced
Around 7 dB SIR improvement
Around 1.714 (12/7) time more capacity (Can use 7
cell cluster instead of 12 cell cluster)

CELL ZONING
Addresses Trunking Inefficiency in Cell Sectoring
Any base station channel may be assigned to any zone
Making zones in a cell reduces the R in D/Rz and thus
increases D/R while reducing Tx. power of the Cell
Zones are connected to the radio equipment through
copper pairs, LOS link or fibre optical link
