Simulation study of the capacity bounds in cellular systems
Zygmunt J. Haas, Jack H. Winters, David S. Johnson · 2002
We investigate the capacity of cellular systems. In particular, we study how the reuse factor can be improved given the knowledge of the mobiles' locations; i.e., we evaluate the minimum number of channels required to support a cellular infrastructure with a given number of mobiles in each cell. We assume that the mobiles' locations are sampled from the uniform random distribution or are fixed on a uniform grid. Moreover, we show the effect of a number of parameters, such as the number of mobiles per cell, the minimum allowable signal-to-interference ratio, and limited knowledge of mobile location. The assumption of a single interferer, used in our study, is also justified.
