Sr.
Name of Question
No.

If 20 MHz of total spectrum is allocated for a duplex wireless cellular

system and each simplex channel has 25 KHz RF bandwidth, find: (i)The
1
number of duplex channels (ii) The total number of channels per cell
site ,if N=4 cell reuse is used.

If a signal to interference ratio of 15 dB is required for satisfactory

forward channel performance of a cellular system, what is the
frequency reuse factor and cluster size that should be used for
2 maximum capacity if the path loss exponent is (1) n=4 (2) n=3 ?
Assume that there are six co channel cells in the first tier and all of
them are at the same distance from the mobile. Use suitable
approximations.

proper and improper handoff situations.

What is interference? Explain the difference between co-channel

9 interference and adjacent channel interference. Derive equation for
signal to interference ratio.

A unit gain antenna with a maximum dimension of 1 m produces 50 W

power at 900 MHz. Find (i) the transmit power in dBm and dB, (ii) the
10 received
Power at a free space distance of 5 m and 100 m using free space
distance formula.

Explain Co-channel interference in cellular system. A cellular system

has a cluster size 7 and path loss exponent n = 4. Determine the S/I for
11
the system. Now, if each cell is sectored in 1200 sectors, what will be
the improvement in S/I compared to non-sectored system in dB?

Explain two types of trunked system. A total of 24 MHz of bandwidth is

allocated to a particular FDD cellular system that uses two 30 KHz
simplex channels to provide full duplex voice and control channels.
12 Assume each cell phone user generates 0.1 Erlangs of traffic. (i) Find
the number of channels in each cell for a four-cell reuse system. (ii) 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.
