An Systematic implementation to calculate Co-Channel Interference

Abstract

A User friendly software analytical tool is used for calculating co-channel interferences in the uplink and downlink for a base station due frequency reuse in coverage cells. The cells are arranged in hexagonal lattice and they are overlapped to provide complete coverage. Here we develop program code to which system parameters are given as input. An overall channel to noise plus interference ratio (ChNIRo) with channel interference ratio (ChIR) for uplink and downlink paths is also calculated. Generally, it is noticed that co-channel interference increases as the reuse number in frequency reuse in the cell. It is also observed that co-channel interference can cause substantial degradation to the signal to noise ratio overall system.
