BS deployment in hexagonal cell

I'd like to deploy 1 main base station and 6 small base stations in one hexagonal cell. 1 UE is associated with each BS.

I have no idea how to deploy and get the position of that in matlab.

Hi,

We can achieve this using a geometric approach. Lets assume we have a hexagonal cell of 100 units and the main base station is positioned at the origin.

We calculate the positions of the small base stations using a loop. The angle between each small base station is pi/3 radians (60 degrees). We use the cos and sin functions to calculate the x and y coordinates of each small base station based on the angle and radius.

The parameters can be configured as per the use case.

A sample code snipped is attached as follows:-

% Define parameters
radius = 100; % Radius of the hexagonal cell
mainBSPosition = [0, 0]; % Position of the main base station

% Calculate the positions of small base stations
angle = pi/3; % Angle between each small base station
smallBSPositions = zeros(6, 2); % Matrix to store positions

for i = 1:6
    x = radius * cos(angle * (i-1));
    y = radius * sin(angle * (i-1));
    smallBSPositions(i, :) = [x, y];
end

% Display the positions
disp('Main Base Station Position:');
disp(mainBSPosition);
disp('Small Base Station Positions:');
disp(smallBSPositions);

Thanks.
