Scenario: Imagine a cellular network with two base stations, A and B, operating on the same frequency band. Base station A has a transmission power of 10 Watts, while base station B has a power of 5 Watts. A mobile phone user is located closer to base station B, receiving a signal strength of 2 Watts from B and 1 Watt from A.
Task:
1. **CIRF Calculation:** - Desired Signal Strength: 2 Watts (from base station B) - Interfering Signal Strength: 1 Watt (from base station A) - CIRF = Desired Signal Strength / Interfering Signal Strength = 2 Watts / 1 Watt = 2 2. **CIRF and Communication Quality:** A CIRF of 2 indicates that the desired signal from base station B is twice as strong as the interfering signal from base station A. This suggests a relatively good signal-to-interference ratio, leading to better call quality, higher data rates, and a more reliable connection. 3. **Technique to Improve CIRF:** - **Power Control:** By reducing the transmission power of base station A, the interfering signal strength would decrease. This could be achieved through adaptive power control mechanisms that adjust the power based on the user's location and signal strength. A lower power output from base station A would result in a higher CIRF for the user, enhancing communication quality.
