Cellular Telephone Systems

A Cellular Telephone System, or Personal Communication System (PCS), is a wireless network that enables two-way voice communication over regional or national areas using frequency reuse through nonoverlapping cells. Cell splitting is a method to enhance network capacity by dividing large cells into smaller ones, allowing for better coverage and reduced interference. Handoff is crucial for maintaining call continuity and optimizing network load as users move between cells.

Introduction

A Cellular Telephone System, also known as Personal Communication Systems (PCS),


is a wireless network designed to provide two-way voice communication at vehicle
speeds with regional or national coverage. These systems utilize frequency reuse to
maximize spectral efficiency by dividing the coverage area into nonoverlapping cells
where the same channel set is assigned to each cell.
Diagram Description:

MS (Mobile Station): Represents a user's mobile device.

BS (Base Station): Communicates with MS and connects to MSC.

MSC (Mobile Switching Center): Connects BSs to the core network and manages calls
and handoffs.

Cell Splitting for Capacity Expansion

Cell splitting is a technique used to increase network capacity by dividing large cells
into smaller cells.

How It Works:

1. Large Cells Initially Cover a Wide Area: A single base station handles many users,
but as demand grows, congestion occurs.

2. Smaller Cells Are Introduced: New, lower-power base stations are added to cover
smaller areas within the original cell.

3. Frequency Reuse Is Optimized: The smaller cells can reuse the same frequency in a
controlled way, increasing capacity.

Advantages:

Increases Capacity: More users can be supported.

Improves Coverage: Enhances service quality in dense areas.

Reduces Interference: Smaller cells lead to better frequency management.

Importance of Handoff in Cellular Networks

Handoff (handover) is the process of transferring an active mobile connection from


one base station to another as the user moves.

Why It’s Important:

1. Maintains Call Continuity: Prevents call drops when a user moves out of a cell’s
range.

2. Optimizes Network Load: Balances user traffic among base stations for better
efficiency.

3. Enhances Quality of Service (QoS): Ensures smooth voice calls and data
connections without interruptions.
