N2  - This study presents an investigation into the link performance of a TDMA sectorized  cellular system employing perfect power control, frequency hopping and discontinuous  transmission. Two criteria of link performance are presented: signal-to-interference ratio  considerations and traffic considerations. For signal-to-interference ratio computations for both  up-link and down-link cases with various cluster sizes with different sectorization schemes are  considered where the transmission is subjected to an inverse fourth power path loss law and log normal shadowing. For traffic capacity and spectrum efficiency computations we considered a  TDMA system using GSM specifications.  It is found that sectorization improves signal-to-interference ratio for all practical cluster  sizes, and, if different cluster sizes are considered, sectorization provides higher traffic capacity  and higher spectrum efficiency than that of without sectorization case. Six sector system performs  better than three sector and without sectorization configurations.
