Assignment 01

Wireless Communication (TE-414) Instructor: Engr.Zain Ul Abiden Akhtar Department of Telecommunication Engineering
Q1: A cellular service provider decides to use a digital TDMA scheme which can tolerate a signal-to-interference ratio of 15 dB in the worst case. Find the optimal value of N for (a) omnidirectional antennas (b) 120 sectoring (c) 60 sectoring. Should sectoring be used? If so, which case (60 or 120) should be used? (Assume a path loss exponent of n = 4 and consider trunking efficiency). Q2: In trunking (queuing) theory: (a) what is the maximum system capacity (total and per channel) in Erlangs when providing a 2% blocking probability with 4 channels, with 20 channels, with 40 channels? (b) How many users can be supported with 40 channels at 2% blocking? Assume H = 105s, A = 1 call hour. (c) Using the traffic intensity per channel calculated in part (a), find the grade of service in a lost call delayed system for the case of delays being greater than 20 seconds. Assume that H = 105 s, and determine the GoS Q3: Carefully analyze the trade-off between sectoring and trunking efficiency for a 4-cell cluster size. While sectoring improves capacity by improving SNR, there is a loss due to decreased trunking efficiency, since each sector must be trunked separately. Consider a wide range of total available channels per cell and consider the impact of using 3 sectors and 6 sectors per cell. Your analysis may involve computer simulation, and should indicate the "break even" point when sectoring is not practical.
