Question

Which of the following is not an advantage of micro cell zone technique?

(a) Reduced co channel interference

(b) Improved signal quality

(c) Increase in capacity

(d) Increasing number of base stations

The question was posed to me in quiz.

Question is from Improving Coverage and Capacity in Cellular Systems in division The Cellular Concept – System Design Fundamentals of Wireless/Mobile

Answer 1

Right option is (d) Increasing number of base stations

Easiest explanation: The advantage of the zone cell technique is that co-channel interference in the cellular system is reduced since a large central base station is replaced by several low powered transmitters on the edges of the cell. Thus, signal quality is reduced and it leads to an increase in capacity.
