Co-Channel Interference
Possible solution :
A) Increase base station Tx power to improve radio signal
reception?
NO!!
Why ??
increases interference from cochannel cells by the same amount!
no net improvement
Co-Channel Interference
Possible solution :
B) Separate co-channel cells by some minimum distance to
provide sufficient isolation from propagation of radio
signals?
YES!!
Why ??
if all cell sizes same then cochannel interference is independent of
Tx power
Co-Channel Interference
CCI depends on :
R : cell radius
D : distance from BS to center of nearest co-channel
cell

Near/Far Effect
Interfering source (Tx) is near some Rx when other source is far away
ACI is primarily from mobiles in same cell
Some cell-to-cell ACI does occur as well secondary source

Minimizing ACI
as in mobile Rx
Makes reverse-link ACI less of a concern than forward-link ACI
Also true b/c of power control (discussed next)
