    A cell is the basic unit of a cellular system defined as the area covered by a single base station. Cells are ideally hexagonal in shape but in practice have irregular shapes due to terrain. Each cell is divided into three sectors, with each sector served by a separate antenna mounted at different angles. Cell global identity uniquely identifies each cell through a combination of mobile country code, mobile network code, location area code, and cell identification number. Handover is the automatic transfer of a subscriber between cells during a call to maintain coverage, assessing signal power and interference between neighboring base stations.

    CELL and Its Orientation

    A cell is the basic unit of a cellular system and is defined as the area where radio coverage is given by one base station. The shape of a cell in theory is Hexagonal because it gives best symmetrical structure to plan a complete covered area. But practically cells have no defined shape. They are irregular in shape because in actual practice we cant restrict a BTS to give coverage in hexagonal shape Radio coverage is given by one base station Ideally One Cell is divided in 3 Sectors We Serve each sector by One RF Antenna and each antenna is mounted on different angles with respect to north pole of the earth

    CELL GLOBAL IDENTITY Cell global identity is an entity that is used to define a unique identification of each cell of a particular network. It consists of MCC+MNC+LAC+CI Mobile country code-This is used to define the country in which an operator is working. For ex any operator working in India has a code 404,405 or 406. Mobile network Code-This code is used to define the operator and the circle in which operator is working. For ex. 02 is the code of airtel Punjab and 70 is the code for airtel Rajasthan. Location Area code-It is a code given to each location area( group of cells) Cell Identification- It is a unique identification no that is given to each sector of a site. For ex. 3451,in this case 345 is site id and 1 is sector. Last no. will always represent sector number. Handover

    Handover is the automatic transfer of the subscriber from one cell to another during the call process, without causing any hindrance to the call. There are two main aspects to this: the necessity to find a dedicated mode in the next cell as the mobile is on call, and the switching process being fast enough so as not to drop that call.

    So, how does the handover actually take place? There are many processes that can be used, but the one most used is based on power measurements. When a mobile is at the interface of two cells, the BSS measures the power that is received by the base stations of the two cells, and then the one that satisfies the criteria of enough power and least interference is selected. This kind of handover being directly related to power control, it provides an opportunity to improve the efficiency of use of the spectrum.
