What do you understand by frequency re-use in cellular network?Explain with the help of diagram.


Frequency Reuse

Frequency reusing is the concept of using the same radio frequencies within a given area, that are separated by considerable distance, with minimal interference, to establish communication.
Frequency reuse offers the following benefits −
  • Allows communications within cell on a given frequency
  • Limits escaping power to adjacent cells
  • Allows re-use of frequencies in nearby cells
  • Uses same frequency for multiple conversations
  • 10 to 50 frequencies per cell
For example, when N cells are using the same number of frequencies and K be the total number of frequencies used in systems. Then each cell frequency is calculated by using the formulae K/N.
In Advanced Mobile Phone Services (AMPS) when K = 395 and N = 7, then frequencies per cell on an average will be 395/7 = 56. Here, cell frequency is 56.
