Abstract

In this paper, the impact of co-channel and adjacent channel interference inmobile cellular radio systems on the cellular system capacity are studied.Simple empirical expressions for average signal to co-channel, signal toadjacent channel and signal to total interference ratios are obtained. Thesimple empirical results developed in this paper are easier to use in acellular system design. The maximum number of bits/sec that can be transmittedover a cell area for a given bit error rate and total bandwidth, is proposedas a new definition of capacity of digital cellular systems. The capacity ofa cellular system is shown to depend on the excess bandwidth and the numberof active users.
