Optimize Cellular Network Performance Using Phased Arrays

Abstract

Abstract In conventional telecommunication systems, the base station does not know the user equipment location; it broadcast in all directions to fully cover the entire cell area. This represents power waste in addition to transmitting the signal in directions where users do not exist, which seen as interference for co-channel cells. This reduces SNR that limits the capacity and impedes the use of the spectrum effectively. This consideration led to the use of smart antenna (SA) technology that uses the Space-division multiple access (SDMA technique, Based on extracting spatial data for users within the network. In this work, Phased Arrays are used to improve the performance of the GSM network in terms of (decrease power, raise coverage, increase capacity, reduce co-channel interference) with the comparison to conventional antennas. Simulation has studied and realized using Matlab, simulation results, and performances have presented. Introduction.
