    Hi all!

    How much neighbours in a cell is enough?

    Obviously, when there is more neighbours defined, then the mobile phone will follow more frequencies. I’m interested in how will this affect to battery. Will it drain more quickly? If so, the how quickly – is 15 neighbours triple ad bad for draining battery that 5 neighbour for instance?

    Thanks

    No, the MS uses only the 6 best neighbours for cell reselection, so having more neighbours defined in a cell won’t drain the battery.

    and the question is wrong “How much neighbours in a cell is enough?” it depends on the no. adjacent sites where we want to have handovers

    tanuj / woth5,

    if you define a lot of neighbours, the MS have to scan ALL of them, in order to detect the 6 best neighbours.
    But it doesn’t drain the battery : the “periodicity” of the measurements is the same, but each frequency is measured less often.
    So the real drawback is that the neighbours are not updated as quickly as before (when there is less neighbours). But really, it’s not such a big issue at all !

    Main impact is on the frequency planning : neighbours should not use co-channel or adjacent channels. When you define two cells as neighbours, you are putting constraints on the possible frequencies you could use.

    regards
