Info

• Each cell has several radio transceivers (one per channel); usually one wideband power amplifier is used to provide the transmit power for all channels in a site (or sector, for sectorized system). • The site`s radio equipment is operated by a base station controller (BSC). • The base station controller takes care of the air interface: assigning channels and power levels, transmitting signaling tones, and so on. • The mobile switching centers (MSCs), also called mobile telephone switching offices (MTSOs), route calls along a private copper, fiber optic, or microwave network operated by the cellular service provider.
Traffic and Cell Splitting • The optimum size of a cell depends on the amount of traffic. • If all channels in a cell are busy, it is impossible for anyone to place a call to or from that cell. The user has to hang up and try again later. This situation is called call blocking and is obviously undesirable. • A more unpleasant situation occurs when a mobile phone moves into a cell that has all its channels busy. The attempt by the system to hand off the call to the new cell is frustrated by the lack of free channels, and the cell must be terminated, or dropped.
