Radio link design of cellular land mobile communication systems

A procedure for a radio link design of cellular land mobile radio systems is discussed. The relation between the prescribed total outage and the necessary margins for thermal noise and co-channel interference is first derived. It is then shown that the respective margins can be calculated separately. A simple and useful procedure for determining transmitter power and co-channel reuse distance is presented in concrete flowchart form. Based on this procedure, an example of a radio link design for a digital mobile telephone system is shown.
