Cosider ay two co chael cells. We will take for simplicity a cell ad its co chael cell that is located to its top left locatio as show i the below figure. If we rotate this cofiguratio by 9 Clockwise, ad set to the origi to be the ceter poit of Cell 1, we get the followig: 1
EE 499: Wireless & Mobile Commuicatios (8) Lecture 4: Frequecy euse Cocepts To compute the distace, we eed to compute ad, or simply,, ad show i the above figure. Oce these are foud, the distace is computed easily usig Pythagoras Theorem. Let us defie the cell radius to be the distace from the ceter poit of the cell to ay of its corers as show i the figure below. Note that the edge legth of the cell is equal to cell radius because of the hexagoal shape, while the lie from the ceter to mid poit of ay edge is equal to. Clearly, X1 i i 3 (1)

Distace betwee a Cell Corer ad its Co-Chael Cell Ceters Note that this is exactly the same as fidig the distace betwee all corers of a cell ad its cochael cell ceter. Now that we have foud the distace betwee co chael cells ceters, we ca easily exted this to fid the distaces betwee all co chael cells ceters ad a specific corer of a 3

This ca be doe by fidig the coordiates of all corers of the origial cells ad takig the coordiates of these corers i cosideratio whe computig the desired distaces.

Amog these types are Co Chael Iterferece (iterferece that results from the trasmissio of sigals at the same frequecy of a particular chael trasmitted from a earby co chael cell). Also, there is Adjacet Chael Iterferece (iterferece that results from trasmittig a sigal with a earby frequecy but from the 4

Because of the limited capabilities of aalog ad digital filters, it may be very difficult to remove adjacet chaels completely). Co-Chael Iterferece ad System Capacity Iterferece is measured i terms of received Sigal (Power) to received Iterferece (Power) atio or SI, which is sometimes expressed as S I. First ote that the power P received at some distace from atea d over the power P received at some other distace d is give by P P d d (15) which ca be writte i the form d P P d where is power received at some distace, is power received at some distace, ad is called path loss expoet. (16) Computatio of Co-Chael Iterferece i Differet Cofiguratios To compute the Forward chael SI, we use equatio (16) to compute the Sigal power ad agai use equatio (16) to compute the Iterferece power as follows S I P P of Sigal of All Iteferig Sigals d P Dist. of Mobile to Origial Tower d +... + P d P Dist. of Mobile to Tower 1 Dist. of Mobile to Tower 6 (17) Clearly, P ad d have o effect o the SI ad they cacel out to give S I 1 Dist. of Mobile to Origial Tower 1 1 +... + Dist. of Mobile to Tower 1 Dist. of Mobile to Tower 6 (18) 5

The distace i this worst case of servig tower to the mobile statio is while the distace from the co chael cell towers to the mobile statio are obtaied by fidig the Cartesia distaces of the co chael cell tower coordiates give i (8) ad the corers of the origial tower give i (9) (14). Numerical Evaluatio of Worst SI for Several Cofiguratios To fid umerical results of worst SI for several cofiguratios, a MS Excel sheet is developed for this reaso.
