EE 632: Mobile Communications (2021 - 22)(Quiz I)

Student Name:................................ Time allowed: 55 minutes


Roll No.: ......................................... Max Marks: 10 marks
1. Consider a dense urban environment in which the path loss exponent is 4 and the
required signal to interference ratio is 20dB. Considering hexagonal cell geometry,
what is the permissible cluster size?

(a) 7 (b) 9 (c) 10 (d) 12

Answer: √ n
S 3N
=
I i0
√ 4
3N
1020/10 =
6
N = 8.165
Permissible cluster size is 12.
2. Consider a dense urban environment in which the path loss exponent is 3.5 and the
required signal to interference ratio is 20dB. If the cell size is reduced to half in
order to increase capacity. How is the transmit power modified for the cell.

(a) Reduces by a factor of 0.0625 (c) Increases by a factor of 16


(b) Reduces by a factor of 0.0884 (d) Increases by a factor of 11.3137

Answer:
P1 R−3.5 = P2 (R/2)−3.5
P2 = P1 2−3.5
Therefore power reduces by a factor of 0.0884.
3. A TDMA cellular system consists of a deployment of uniform radii hexagonal cells
with a 7-cell reuse pattern. The cell diameter (corner-to-corner) is equal to 6 km.
The system has a total bandwidth of 12.5 MHz (for both uplink and downlink).
The channels have a spacing of 30 kHz. Calculate the following
(a) Number of duplex traffic channels/cell.
Answer:
12.5×106
Number of duplex traffic channels/cell= 71 × 21 × 30×103
= 29.76
Number of duplex traffic channels/cell=29
(b) Number of cells required to cover a total area of 3600km2 . In this problem use
the exact area of the hexagon cell rather than approximating the hexagon cell
by a circle cell with the same cell radius.
Answer: √ 2
Area of hexagon or one cell = 3 3(3)
2
= 23.38km2
3600
Number of cells required to cover a total area of 3600km2 = 23.38 = 154
(c) Co-channel reuse distance D (in km).
Answer: √
D/R = 3N
√
D = 3 3 × 7km2 = 13.7477km2

4. Consider a transmitter communicates EM wave with frequency 900 MHz and are
received at the receiver. Assume transmit and receive antenna are having same
height and the obstacle is 20meters taller than the transmitter. The distance of the
obstacle from the transmitter is 1.5km and from the receiver is 1km.

(a) The diffraction gain at the receiver is (in dB) .


Answer: s s
2(d1 + d2 ) 2(1500 + 1000)
v=h = 20 =2
λd1 d2 1/3 × 1500 × 1000
p
Gd (dB) = 20 log1 0(0.4 − 0.1184 − (0.38 − 0.1v)2 ) = −19.43
(b) Determine the Fresnel zone within which the tip of the obstruction lies .
Answer:
n = ν 2 /2 = 2

5. According to you state why TDMA and CDMA are considered for next generation
wireless communication system and not FDMA.
