Suppose the data rate per user is 8 kbps. Assume perfect power control, one sector antenna
and persistent transmissions.
a) Calculate the Eb I 0 specification required to support a maximum no. of 250 users/cell
if the signal-to-background noise ratio is 26 dB and the frequency reuse efficiency is 0.9.
b) If the actual operating value of Eb I 0 is 12 dB, calculate the system utilization for the
parameter values specified in part (a).
Ans. 1:
a) With the assumptions given in the problem, the Eb I 0 specification can be written as

Prob. 2: Consider a cellular system in which there are a total of 1001 radio channels
available for handling traffic. Suppose the area of a cell is 6 km2 and the area of the entire
system is 2100 km2.
b) How many times would the cluster of size 4 have to be replicated in order to
approximately cover the entire cellular area?
Ans. 2:
Given :
a) Since the number of channels per cell is J K N , then J 1001 7 143 channels/cell.
The coverage area of a cluster is
Acluster N Acell 7 6 42 km2
The number of times that the cluster has to be replicated to cover the entire cellular system is
M Asys Acluster 2100 42 50 . Therefore,
d) From (a) and (c), it is seen that a decrease in N from 7 to 4 is accompanied by an increase
in M from 50 to 87, and the system capacity is increased from 50,050 channels to 87,000
channels. Therefore, decreasing the cluster size does increase the system capacity.
Prob. 3: A cellular service provider uses a digital scheme that can tolerate a signal-to-
interference ratio of 15 dB in the worst case, in a propagation environment with path loss
exponent n = 4. The distance between the ith interferer at the first tier and the mobile, Di is
almost equal to D for i 1, 2,....., i0 where i0 is the no. of co-channel interfering cells. Find the
optimal value of cell cluster size N for (a) omnidirectional antennas, (b) 120o sectoring and
(c) 60o sectoring.
