Pilot: Interference.
Figure 5. The interference in the lower-left quadrant is high because Site 1 and Site 2 are on the same carrier.The interference occurs because both sites emit an individual signal on the same frequency. This can be changed by either assigning different carriers or by keeping the same carriers but making them transmit the same signal, so the signal from one is no longer the interference of the other.1 -
