Problem 5.

1:

Assume that you have six-sector cells in a hexagonal geometry. Draw the
hexagonal grid corresponding to this case. Compute Sr for reuse factors of 7,4 and
3. Comment on your result.
Answer 1: Hexagonal Grid for six sector cells.

Answer 2:

Reuse factor N=7

Sr = 9*N2 = 9 * (7)2

= 441

Now this is to be converted to dB

Sr = 10 log(441) = 10 * 2.644 = 26.444 dB

Therefore, signal to interference ratio

Sr = 26.444 dB
Answer 3:

Reuse factor N=4

Sr = 9*N2 = 9 * (4)2

= 144

Now this is to be converted to dB

Sr = 10 log(144) = 10 * 2.158 = 21.58 dB

Therefore, signal to interference ratio

Sr = 21.58 dB

Answer 3:

Reuse factor N=3

Sr = 9*N2 = 9 * (3)2

= 81

Now this is to be converted to dB

Sr = 10 log(81) = 10 * 1.9084 = 19.084 dB

Therefore, signal to interference ratio

Sr = 19.084 dB
