Appendices 1. D/R in Roadway Systems 2. Cellular Systems Engineering 3. Detailed GSM Link Budget Analysis
Objectives
Explain the relationship between frequency reuse patterns, system performance and capacity Explain how system capacity can be increased by using sectorisation, cell splitting and overlay cells Recognise how uplink and downlink power budgets determine cell coverage
Fixed spectral allocation limits the number of channels available Channels must be reused throughout service area to support service demand Signal attenuation with distance allows channel reuse by controlling interference levels

Channel Segmentation
Call capacity for both co-channel omni-directional cells is 4644 calls/hour with 18 radio channels supporting 8 voice circuits in each
Capacity of large co-channel cell reduced to 3540 calls/hour with 14 usable radio channels due to use of 4 channels in new small co-channel cell that violates D/R
Overlaid Cells
Realised large co-channel cell capacity of 4400 calls/hour using 4 radio channels for small cell coverage and 14 radio channels for large cell coverage
