Reuse in Each Cluster Co-channel Interference
The same C channels are used In the 4-cell cluster case, the nearest
simultaneously in another cluster interfering signal comes from 2 cells
Max no. of users = C times no. of over

Measures of Quality of the
Received Signal SNR
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) Ratio of received desired signal power over
the average noise power in the receiver
Signal-to-interference ratio (SIR)
Pdes
SNR =
Pnoise
SNR can be improved by
Increasing the transmitted power
Decreasing the range
Using a better low noise amplifier (LNA)

If all base stations increase their transmitted d

Adjacent Channel Interference Summary
Even though the neighboring cells share no Cells allow a service provider to re-use
channels with the serving cell, the adjacent frequencies so it can serve more
channels from those cells leak through the customers
