Why neighbouring stations are assigned different frequencies in cellular system? Correct Answer To minimize interference

  •  In the cellular concept, frequencies allocated to the service are re-used in a regular pattern of areas, called 'cells', each covered by one base station.
  • In mobile-telephone nets, these cells are usually hexagonal. In radio broadcasting, a similar concept has been developed based on rhombic cells.
  • To ensure that the mutual interference between users remains below a harmful level, adjacent cells use different frequencies.
  • In fact, a set of C different frequencies {f1, ..., fC} are used for each cluster of C adjacent cells. Cluster patterns and the corresponding frequencies are re-used in a regular pattern over the entire service area.
