• Frequency re-use
increases the capacity 7/21 cell cluster
and hence spectrum
efficiency.
Sectorization
• Omni directional antennas radiates
same frequency in every direction,
thereby increasing the chances of
interference and no. of cells in a
particular area too.
• Sectorization splits a site into number of
OMNI CELL
cells ,which increases the capacity of
1 ANTENNA
the system.

• Directional antennas are used which
ensures that radio from one sector is b1
concentrated in a particular direction
which :

--increases the signal strength.
--makes frequency reuse pattern 120O CELLS

to be used efficiently.
Access methods
• Since radio frequency is limited, so there is no
dedicated channel to individuals but it is
provided on demand. Radio channels are
shared by all users.
• Both FDMA and TDMA methods helps to
provide radio access to subscribers and hence
provides mobility.
Tdma technology
Time division multiple access is a digital technology that
allows a number of users to access a single radio frequency
channel without interference by allocating a unique time
slots to each user within the channel.
– Each carrier frequency is subdivided in time domain into 8
time slots
– Each mobile transmits data in a frequency, in its particular
time slot - Burst period = 0.577 milli secs.
– 8 time slots called a TDMA frame. Period is .577 * 8 =
4.616 milli secs 0.577 ms

How it works…?
Let us consider that four different conversation is going on
simultaneously.
TDMA divides a single A. Marry had a little lamb.
RF carrier into 8 slots B. Ramu is a good boy.
and provides each C. There was an old man who lived in a shoe.
conversation a single D.Jack and Jill went up the hill
slot for very short duration. After the four slots conversation
has been transmitted, process is repeated again.
• Likewise, if all the time slots in the cell in which the user is currently
in are already occupied, the user will not receive a dial tone.
