Which cell to use?

Single Cell

Single Cell with K channels Cluster N cells, with Each cell J = K / N channels

Cellular Concept

19-cell reuse example (N=19)

Handoffs – the basics

Umbrella Cells

Smaller N is greater capacity

D=R3N

Co-channel cells for 7-cell reuse

Erlang C

Cells are split to add channels with no new spectrum usage

Cell Splitting increases capacity

Sectoring improves S/I

Sectoring improves S/I

In-building deployment is the next great growth phase
