Types of Cells
Macro cells :-large cells for remote and sparsely populated areas Micro cells:- for densely populated areas Selective cells:-cells with a particular shape and coverage ; for eg. Cells located at the entrances of tunnels where coverage of 360 degrees is not needed Umbrella cells:-covers several micro cells; reduce the number of handovers . Different Types of Cells MACRO-CELL: antenna radiating ‘above’ roofs ---> Wide Coverage (≤ 35 km) EXTENDED-CELL: macro cell with system coverage extension (≤ 120 km) for coasts... MICRO-CELL: Antenna ‘below’ the roofs ---> small coverage Architecture of GSM NW
