Question

Which of the following technology distributes the coverage of the cell and extends the cell boundary to hard-to-reach places?

(a) Cell splitting

(b) Scattering

(c) Sectoring

(d) Micro cell zone concept

The question was posed to me in an interview for job.

My question comes from Improving Coverage and Capacity in Cellular Systems in division The Cellular Concept – System Design Fundamentals of Wireless/Mobile

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) Micro cell zone concept

For explanation: Micro cell zone concept distributes the coverage of the cell and extends the cell boundary to hard-to reach places. It is the solution for the problem of increased number of handoffs when sectoring which results in an increase of load on switching.
