following formula
SIR= 10log [(<?~ 1)7] (3)
By applying our freąuency reuse factor iV = 4 to (2) we can calculate the value of q
q = vS= x/3 x 4 = 3.464
We can now find the SIR in the two cities by using the specified path loss value of 7 = 3.5 like this
(3.464 - l)3’6 6
SIRdty = 10 log
= 10 log = 6.318 dB
SIRdty is less than the 14 dB we reąuire so we cannot use omni directional antennas in the cities.
We use a similar formula to calculate the SIR for the highway. Since the highway does not use a hexagonal celi layout, but rather a linear celi layout, we use the following formula
smMghWay = 10 log [(2JV + ly + (2N - 1)T]
= 10 log [(2x4 + l)2'7 + (2x4- l)2'7]
= 27.55 dB
We find that SIRhighway is well above the reąuired 14 dB. This means that we can safely use omni directional antennas for the highway.
