Multibeam cellular communication systems with dynamic channel assignment across multiple sectors

چکیده
In cellular communication systems, directional multibeam antennas at cell sites can be used to reduce co-channel interference, increase frequency reuse and improve system capacity. When combined with dynamic channel assignment (DCA), additional improvement is possible. We propose a multibeam scheme using dynamic channel assignment across multiple sectors. A cell is divided into several sectors, each of which is covered by several directional beams. Specific channels are allocated to each sector as in fixed channel assignment (FCA). A channel of a sector is dynamically assigned to a wireless user who communicates through one of the several beams of the sector. The assignment is made so that constraints on the allowable co-channel interference are satisfied. Limitations due to co-channel interference are analyzed. A tractable analytical model for the proposed scheme is developed using multidimensional birth– death processes. Theoretical traffic performance characteristics such as call blocking probability, forced termination probability, hand-off activity, carried traffic and channel rearrangement rate are determined. With the proposed scheme, call blocking probability can be reduced significantly for a fixed offered traffic. Alternatively, system capacity can be increased while blocking probability is maintained below the required level. Smaller forced termination probability is obtainable in comparison with corresponding FCA schemes.
