Interference
• Interference is defined as any unwanted signal mixes
up with the useful signal.
• The two major kind of interferences that occur in
cellular communication are:
• 1. Co-Channel Interference
• 2. Adjacent Channel Interference

• Co-channel interference can be described as
interference between the signals from co-channel
cells.
• Co-channel interference comes from a device using
the same channel.
• Co-channel majorly occurs on the same channel.
• A large co-channel reuse ratio improves the
transmission quality because of the smaller level of
co-channel interference.
• To reduce co-channel interference and provide
efficient isolation, Co-channel cells are physically
separated by a minimum distance.

• Adjacent channel interference can be described as the
interference that results from the signal that is
adjacent in frequency to the required signal.
• Adjacent channel interference comes from channels
on nearby frequencies.
• Adjacent channel interference occurs from a different
channel.
• Adjacent channel interference can also be caused by
frequency reuse and when the frequency reuse is high
there are more chances for interference because of
operation.
• The adjacent channel interference can be minimized
by proper filter and channel assignment strategy.
