Assignment-2 Q.1 A mobile subscriber travels at a uniform speed of 60 km/h. Compute the time between fades if the mobile uses (a) a cellphone ope rating at 900 MHz (b) a PCS phone operating at 1900 MHz Q.2 Consider a base-station transmitter operating at 900 MHz carrier frequency. For a mobile moving at a speed of 72 km/h, calculate the received carrier frequency if the mobile is moving (a) directly away from the base-station transmitter (b) directly towards the base- station transmitter (c) in a direction which is 60 degrees to the direction of arrival of the transmitted signal (d) in a direction perpendicular to the direction of arrival of the transmitted signal. Q.3 Determine the maximum speed of a vehicle in a mobile communication system experiencing a maximum Doppler frequency shift of 70 Hz and a frequency of transmission 900 MHz. Q.4 A mobile receiver is tuned to a transmission at 800 MHz and receives signals with Doppler frequencies ranging from 10 Hz to 50 Hz when moving at a uniform speed of 80 km/h. What is the beamwidth of the mobile antenna? Q.5 Consider a Rayleigh fading signal experiencing a maximum Doppler frequency of 20 Hz. The carrier frequency is 900 MHz. Compute (a) the positive-going level-crossing rate for ρ = 1 (b) maximum velocity of the mobile for the given Doppler frequency. Q.6 Assume that a bit error occurs whenever any portion of a bit encounters a fade for which ρ < 0.1. For a given maximum Doppler frequency of 20 Hz, (a) What is the average fade duration for threshold levels ρ = 0.01, ρ = 0.1, ρ = 0.707, and ρ = 1? (b) For a binary digital modulation with a data rate of 50 bps, is the Rayleigh fading slow or fast corresponding to ρ = 0.707? (c) What is the average number of bit errors per second for the given data rate of 50 bps? Q.7 Consider that a mobile subscriber traveling at a uniform velocity of 96 kmph receive digital data from a wireless communication system operating at 900 MHz carrier frequency. What should be the symbol rate so as to receive distortionless transmission? Q.8 What does a small delay spread indicate about the characteristics of a fading channel? If the delay spread is 1 microsecond, will the two different frequencies that are 1 MHz apart, experience correlated fading? Q.9 Calculate the number of times the cluster of size 4 have to be replicated in order to approximately cover the entire service area of 1765 km2 with the adequate number of uniform-sized cells of 7 km2 each. Q.10 (a) Assume a cellular system of 32 cells with a cell radius of 1.6 km, a total spectrum allocation that supports 336 traffic channels, and a reuse pattern of 7. Calculate the total service area covered with this configuration, the number of channels per cell, and a total system capacity. Assume regular hexagonal cellular topology. (b) Let the cell size be reduced to the extent that the same area as covered in Part (a) with 128 cells. Find the radius of the new cell, and new system capacity. Q.11 A mobile communication system is allocated RF spectrum of 25 MHz and uses RF channel bandwidth of 25 kHz so that a total number of 1000 voice channels can be supported in the system. (a) If the service area is divided into 20 cells with a frequency reuse factor of 4, compute the system capacity. (b) The cell size is reduced to the extent that the service area is now covered with 100 cells. Compute the system capacity while keeping the frequency reuse factor as 4. (c) Consider the cell size is further reduced so that the same service area is now covered with 700 cells with the frequency reuse factor of 7. Compute the system capacity. Q.12 Consider that a geographical service area of a cellular system is 4200 km2 . A total of 1001 radio channels are available for handling traffic. Suppose the area of a cell is 12 km2 . (a) How many times would the cluster of size 7 have to be replicated in order to cover the entire service area? Calculate the number of channels per cell and the system capacity. (b) If the cluster size is decreased from 7 to 4, then does it result into increase in system capacity? Q.13 A cellular communication service area is covered with 12 clusters having 7 cells in each cluster and 16 channels assigned in each cell. Show that (a) the number of channels per cluster are 112 (b) the system capacity is 1344.
