Cellular Networks Pollution Reduction

Abstract

The potential of adaptive antennas to optimize the wireless network performance make it one of the promising technologies that can face the increased demand for wireless communications services with the limited available bandwidth. Adaptive antennas have the ability to steer their main lobe in the direction of interest and placing nulls in the direction of interference. This can result in co-channel interference minimization, maximizing Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR) and then improve the receiver sensitivity. In this paper, the base-station sensitivity improvement and its effect on the mobile transmit power were investigated at different scenarios. Results show that using adaptive antenna yields in RF pollution reduction.
