Abstract:
The advancement of wireless cellular networks in
terms of networking devices and mobile subscribers, have led
the operators towards the development of communication system
with greater capacity. Antenna tilt is one of the most influential
techniques to improve the performance of cellular networks.
In this paper, we have considered fractional frequency reuse
(FFR) and soft frequency reuse (SFR) aided cellular network,
and analyse the impact of antenna tilt on the coverage probability
and average rate. It is observed that at an appropriate antenna
tilt improves the coverage probability and average rate for both
the FFR and SFR systems. Moreover, it is observed that, impact
of antenna tilt is more on the performance of SFR system as
compared to that of FFR system.
