cell having a very small coverage area, such as a lounge in an airport terminal.
describes a physically small communications coverage area (0.5 + 5 km in diameter) used in densely populated areas where wireless traffic volume is high. The microcell, which is linked to a host macrocell, has low power and a low channel count, making it ideal for high traffic city neighborhoods.
A very small cell used in densely populated areas where traffic volume is high. (There is no official definition of what cell radius distinguishes a small cell from a microcell.)
A bounded physical space in which a number of wireless devices can communicate. Because it is possible to have overlapping cell as well as isolated cells, each device supports wireless standards that establishes the cell boundaries.
Mobile Telephone Switching Office (MTSO) Multipath Propagation
a small LMT that feeds off a host macrocell
A bounded physical space in which a number of wireless devices can communicate. Because it is possible to have overlapping cells as well as isolated cells, some rule or convention establishes the boundaries of the cell.
Microcells fill gaps in a mobile phone network between macrocells and help to provide additional call capacity in areas of high demand for mobile usage such as in urban areas. They are typically mounted at street level on the external walls of existing buildings, lamp posts and other street furniture. Microcells operate at power levels substantially below those of macrocells.
The family of cell sites which results from subdividing macrocells. They require a relatively moderate amount of transmitted RF power.
A bounded physical space in which a number of wireless devices can communicate. Because it is possible to have overlapping cells as well as isolated cells, the boundaries of the cell are established by some rule or convention.
A cell having a very small coverage area, which could be as small as one floor of an office building, one part of an airline terminal, or one corner of a busy intersection. These cells are typically used when coverage and/or capacity is strained and the use of a normal sized cell would cause interference or would be impractical to install. These cells transmit with extremely low power outputs.
Interior mobile antennas with limited coverage ranges.
A cell fragment, containing one to a few chromosomes, which is formed by the enucleation or disruption of a micronucleated cell.
A microcell is a cell in a mobile phone network served by a low power cellular base station (tower), covering a limited area such as a mall, a hotel, or a transportation hub. A microcell is usually larger than a picocell, though the distinction is not always clear. A microcell uses power control to limit the radius of its coverage area.
