Cell Splitting Operation

This diagram shows the process of cell splitting that is used to expand the capacity (number of channels) of a mobile communication system. In this example, the radio coverage area of large cells sites are split by adjusting the power level and/or using reduced antenna height to cover a reduced area. Reducing the radio coverage area of a cell site by changing the RF boundaries of a cell site has the same effect as placing cells farther apart, and allows new cell sites to be added.
