Abstract

A new mobile radio cell architecture is presented that reduces interferences, increases system capacity, improves transmission quality and allows uncritical handoffs. Two main features characterize our proposal: macroscopic diversity supply of mobiles by means of three base stations which leads to high carrier-to-interference ratios and link quality improvement, and overlapping cells, thereby introducing large handoff zones. This system is ideally suited for existing GSM-style digital cellular networks and allows a traffic capacity increase due to a frequency re-use factor of 3
