Q.1 A total of 24 MHz of bandwidth is allocated to a particular FDD cellular telephone system that
uses two 30 kHz simplex channels to provide full duplex voice and control channels. Assume
each cell phone user generates 0.1 Erlangs of traffic. Assume Erlang B is used.
(a) Find the number of channels in each cell for a four-cell reuse system.
(b) If each cell is to offer capacity that is 90% of perfect scheduling, find the maximum number
of users that can be supported per cell where omnidirectional antennas are used at each base
station.
(c) What is the blocking probability of the system in (b) when the maximum number of users are
available in the user pool?
(d) If each new cell now uses 120° sectoring instead of omnidirectional for each base station,
what is the new total number of users that can be supported per cell for the same blocking
probability as in (c)?
(e) If each cell covers five square kilometers, then how many subscribers could be supported in
an urban market that is 50 km × 50 km for the case of omnidirectional base station antennas?
(f) If each cell covers five square kilometers, then how many subscribers could be supported in
an urban market that is 50 km × 50 km for the case of 120° sectored antennas
Q.2 Exercises in trunking (queueing) theory: (a) What is the maximum system capacity (total and per
channel) in Erlangs when providing a 2% blocking probability with four channels, with 20
channels, with 40 channels? (b) How many users can be supported with 40 channels at 2%
blocking? Assume H = 105 s, λ = 1 call/hour. (c) Using the traffic intensity 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 for four channels, for 20 channels, for
40 channels. (d) Comparing part (a) and part (c), does a lost call delayed system with a 20
second queue perform better than a system that clears blocked calls.
Q.3 Assume each user of a single base station mobile radio system averages three calls per hour, each
call lasting an average of 5 minutes. (a) What is the traffic intensity for each user? (b) Find the
number of users that could use the system with 1% blocking if only one channel is available.
1
(c) Find the number of users that could use the system with 1% blocking if five trunked channels
are available. (d) If the number of users you found in (c) is suddenly doubled, what is the new
blocking probability of the five channel trunked mobile radio system? Would this be acceptable
performance? Justify why or why not.
Q.4 (a) Explain the advantages and disadvantages of the 2-ray ground reflection model in the
analysis of path loss.
(b) In the following cases, tell whether the 2-ray model could be applied, and explain why or
why not: = 35 in, hr = 3 m, d = 250 m 450m
(c) What insight does the 2-ray model provide about large-scale path loss that was disregarded
when cellular systems used very large cells?
Q.5 If Pt = 1O W, = 10dB, Gr = 3 dB, and L = I dB at 900MHz, compute the
received power for the knife-edge geometry shown in Figure. Compare
this value with the theoretical free space received power if an obstruction did
not exist. What is the path loss due to diffraction for this case?
Q.6 Determine the noise floor in(dBm) for mobile receivers which implement following standards :
1) AMPS 2)GSM 3)DECT 4)IS-95.Assume all receiver have noise figure of 10dB.
Q.7 Determine A PN sequence is generated by using LFSR of length m=4 and initial state of register
1101.
Q.8 Describe authentication process in GSM.
Q.9 Write importance role of GMSK in GSM.
Q.10 Write the role of SGSN and GGSN in GPRS
