CELLULAR MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS

ASSIGNMENT-1 (Total 25 marks)


1. Discuss in detail about the operation of cellular mobile system
with block diagram. [2]
2. Consider a metropolitan area of 1100 square km is to be
covered by cells with cell radius of 2 km. Calculate the number
of cells that would be needed. [2]
3. Explain the methods to reduce adjacent channel interferences?
[1]
4. What is Grade of service? How are Erlang B formula and Erlang C
formula used in cellular systems? [2]
5. A hexagonal cell with four cell system has a radius of 2 km and
a total of 50 channels are used in the system. If the load per
user is 0.03 Erlangs, and request rate is λ = 2 call/hour,
compute the following for Erlang C system by assuming 5%
probability of delay with C = 15 and traffic intensity = 9.0
Erlangs.
(i) How many users per square kilometer this system will
support?
(ii) What is the probability that a call will be delayed for more
than 10 secs? [5]
6. Why CDMA is needed and explain it with an example? [2]
7. With suitable block diagram explain the GSM system. [2]
8. Assume a cellular system wherein a car travels at 200 km per
hour speed. Calculate how often (approximately) handoffs
would occur if the radius of the cell is 8 km? [2]
9. For a seven cell reuse pattern, find the reuse factor if the
minimum distance between centers of co-channel-cells is 18
km. Radius of cell is 3 km and the distance between adjacent
cells in the seven cell pattern is 6 km. [2]
10. 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) omni-
directional antennas, (b) 120° sectoring, and (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). [5]
