The Cellular Principle
Relies on the concept of concurrency
delivered through channel reuse i.e. reusing channels in different cells
Total coverage area is divided into cells
only a subset of channels available in each cell
All channels partitioned into sets
sets assigned to cells
Rule: assign the same set to two cells that are sufficient geographically distant so that interference is small
Net result: increased capacity!
