2023-Wireless Communications-CEP-Project

This document outlines a course project for a wireless communications class that involves designing a cellular network for a hometown. Students must determine the number of cells needed based on area density and ensure 95% SINR of 20dB. They must optimize locations of network components using calculations and software. Students must select cost-effective antennas and components meeting specifications. Their design will be evaluated based on a proposal, analysis and design document, field measurements and theoretical results demonstration, and a final report. The project aims to develop problem solving and communication skills while addressing sustainable development goals.

1. CEP Statement
A cellular planning team of two students is given a task of providing cellular coverage to their
hometown (Name of the town with an area density in persons per km2 from Google) utilizing any
one of GSM (2G)/WCDMA (3G)/LTE-Advanced (4G) standards. The team needs to design a
cellular network that gives coverage to their hometown by ensuring the key performance indicators
set by the national regulator Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) in terms of capacity
and grade of service. Your team has been allocated 20 MHz of Duplex Bandwidth by the
Frequency Allocation Board (FAB).

Your Design shall include:


1. The number of cells required for your hometown in accordance with the area density of
people and pathloss exponent while ensuring an SINR of 20dB for 95% of the time.
2. Optimized locations of the Mobile Switching Center (MSC), Base Station Controllers
(BSCs) and Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) using Design calculations and Google-Earth
Software.
3. Cost-effective transmit antennas with standard power levels and antenna gains that are
helpful to provide the required EIRPs. Selection of antennas should be based on local
market survey.
4. Antenna Gain and noise figure of your mobile phone with reference to room temperature
of 27o C or 17o C.
5. Pathloss Exponent specific to your hometown

4. Constraints and General Assumptions:
You can make the following general assumptions in your design:
a) A close-in reference distance of 10 m can be considered. You can assume that the
propagation beyond the close-in reference distance occurs with your measured path loss
exponent and follows a log-normal distribution with a standard deviation specific to the
mobility available in your hometown.
b) Your cellular design should be based on the sensitivity and noise floor level of your mobile
phone. For these values, you can consult to the datasheet of your mobile phone
c) Co-channel interference and adjacent channel interference from other users and cells can
be assumed negligible. Moreover, there is no restriction on the beamwidth of the base
station.
d) Pathloss Exponent can be estimated with the help of field measurements done through
various Mobile Apps like G-Net Track, Cell Mapper and Google Earth. Moreover, you
can consult to mobile operator to avail the information regarding transmission frequency,
transmitted EIRP, height and antenna gain of your respective BTS to be used for field
measurements.
