2.5 Trunking and Grade of Service
Erlangs: One Erlangs represents the amount of traffic density carried
by a channel that is completely occupied.
Ex: A radio channel that is occupied for 30 minutes during an hour carries
0.5 Erlangs of traffic.
Grade of Service (GOS): The likelihood that a call is blocked.
Each user generates a traffic intensity of Erlangs given by
H: average duration of a call.
: average number of call requests per unit time
For a system containing U users and an unspecified number of
channels, the total offered traffic intensity A, is given by
For C channel trunking system, the traffic intensity, is given as

2.7 Improving Capacity in Cellular Systems
Methods for improving capacity in cellular
systems
Cell Splitting: subdividing a congested cell into
smaller cells.
Sectoring: directional antennas to control the
interference and frequency reuse.
Coverage zone : Distributing the coverage of a
cell and extends the cell boundary to hard-to-
reach place.
2.6.1 Cell Splitting
Split congested cell into smaller cells.
Preserve frequency reuse plan.
Reduce transmission power.

Reduce R to R/2
Illustration of cell splitting within a 3 km by 3 km square
Transmission power reduction from to
Examining the receiving power at the new and old cell boundary
If we take n = 4 and set the received power equal to each other
The transmit power must be reduced by 12 dB in order to fill in the
original coverage area.
Problem: if only part of the cells are splited
Different cell sizes will exist simultaneously
Handoff issues - high speed and low speed traffic can be
simultaneously accommodated

2.6.3 Microcell Zone Concept
Antennas are placed at the outer edges of the cell
Any channel may be assigned to any zone by the base station
Mobile is served by the zone with the strongest signal.
Handoff within a cell
No channel re-
assignment
Switch the channel to a
different zone site
