History of communication
archaic mobile communication

transmission
(smoke/light signals,..)
acoustic transmission (drums,
alpine horns,...)
Early telecommunications
involved smoke, flags, drums,
and other such methods
to relay messages and
information.

Advantages
Each cell as well as the mobile
handsets will have relatively small
power transceivers.
The frequency spectrum might be
reused in two far separated cells,
Unlimited capacity of the system.
Good interference characteristics
Frequency Reuse
Why do we need frequency reuse?
Total no of channels (frequencies) = 124
Every channel can be shared between 8 subscribers max.
Maximum no of simultaneous calls = 8 X 124 = 992
!!
The frequency reuse is performed by dividing the whole available
frequencies between a group of neighboring cells which is called frequency
reuse pattern or a Cluster, and then repeat this cluster over the whole
network on 2 conditions:
The group of frequencies allocated to a given cell must not be used in the adjacent
cells.
Enough distance between the cells in which the same group of frequencies are
reused.
