Abstract

With the appearance of the microcell and in-building systems, cellular systems and the personal communication systems (PCS) have been established in three dimensional space. In this paper, a new concept of base station lattice (BSL) and co-channel reuse lattice (CCRL) is proposed. Sphere covering, a new method of selecting the cell shape for the three-dimensional (3-D) case, is explored. As compared with the cubic cell, the body-centered-cubic (BCC) cell, i.e. the cubooctahedron shape cell is the most economic one
