The term cellular arises from packing of regions best coveredby neighboring base stations. Illustrated is a pentagonal cell best coveredby base station ˇx 2 . Like a Voronoi diagram, cell geometry depends onbase-station arrangement. In some US urban environments, it is not unusualto find base stations spaced approximately 1 mile apart. There can be asmany as 20 base-station antennae capable of receiving signal from any givencell phone • ; practically, that number is closer to 6.Figure 126: Some fitted contours of equal signal power in R 2 transmittedfrom a commercial cellular telephone • over about 1 mile suburban terrainoutside San Francisco in 2005.
