Abstract
Good cell planning is a critical component of the emerging Personal Communication Networks if the expected user capacity and service quality are to be achieved. In addition, service providers require careful metrics about the network in order to develop economic plans. This requires detailed knowledge of channel characteristics and communication principles so that the most efficient networks may be developed.;This investigation looks at microcellular planning for a Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum, Code Division Multiple Access PCN system operating in the 2.0 GHz band. The emphasis is on high user density service areas, such as the central business districts of large cities. Both the outdoor and indoor environments are considered. Empirical models are found for the signal propagation in these regions and the physical characteristics of microcells and picocells are defined. Different layouts of cells in the service areas are examined and criteria involving easily obtained parameters are established for general layout. Adjacent cell interference and its effects on available channels, mobile transmit power requirements, and cell site densities are determined for these cellular configurations.
