Cellular systems are widely used today and cellular technology needs to offer a very efficient use of the available frequency spectrum. With billions of mobile phones in use around the world today, it is necessary to reuse the available frequencies many times without mutual interference from one cell phone to another. It is this concept of frequency reuse that is at the very heart of cellular technology. However, the infrastructure technology needed to support it is not simple, and requires a significant investment to bring the first cellular networks into operation. Early schematics for radiotelephone schemes used a single central transmitter to cover a large area. These radiotelephony systems suffered the limited number of channels available. Often the waiting lists for the connection were many times greater than the number of people who were actually connected. In view of these limitations, this form of radio communications technology did not take off to a great extent. The equipment was large and these radio communications systems were not convenient to use or carry around.
In a cellular radio system, a ground area to be supplied with radio service is divided into cells, in a pattern which depends on the terrain and reception characteristics, but which may consist of hexagonal, square, circular or some other shapes Regular, although hexagonal cells are conventional. Each of these cells is assigned with multiple frequencies (f1 - f6) having corresponding radio base stations. The frequency group may be reused in other cells as long as the same frequencies are not reused in neighboring adjacent cells as this could cause co-channel interference. The increase in capacity in a cellular network, compared to a single transmitter network, comes from the mobile communications switching system developed by Bell Labs Amos Joel that allowed multiple callers in the same area to use the Same frequency by the call switching Made using the same frequency to the nearest available cellular tower that has that available frequency and the fact that the same radio frequency can be reused in a different area for a completely different transmission. If there is a single flat transmitter, only one transmission can be used at a given frequency. Unfortunately, there is inevitably some level of signal interference from the other cells using the same frequency. This means that in a standard FDMA system, there must be at least one cell interval between cells that reuse the same frequency.
