Question

If a signal to interference ratio of 16 dB is required for satisfactory forward channel performance of a cellular system, what is the frequency reuse factor and cluster size that should be used for maximum capacity. Consider the path loss exponent as n = 4 and n = 3. Assume that there are 6 co-channels cells in the first tier, and all of them are at the same distance from the mobile. Use suitable approximations.
