Sample Test: EE4365 Have Fun !!!!!!

The document provides instructions for a sample test on cellular systems consisting of 2 problems worth 30 and 20 points respectively. Problem 1 involves deriving formulas for signal-to-interference ratios considering co-channel interference from neighboring cells. Problem 2 asks the student to determine the maximum carried traffic and number of supported users given system parameters like number of cells, available channels, offered traffic, and blocking probability.

Problem 1 Problem 2 Total Points

• Please read the following instructions carefully before answering the


problems: You have 110 minutes to complete this exam. The point value of
each part is indicated. Read the questions carefully. You are only allowed to
keep a half of page of single-sided class notes (cheat sheet) with you during
the exam. Note that this cheat sheet will contain only formulas (not solved
problems or proofs). After the exam, please staple the cheat sheet with your
answer sheets and hand over that to the instructor. Good Luck !!!!

Problem 1: (30 Points) Problem on Cellular System: Assume the downlink


(base-to-mobile) communication of a cellular system, where the radius of a cell is
R and the distance to the center of the nearest co-channel cell is D. The term
N = 4 denotes the channel reuse factor and γ is the path loss exponent. Assume
the transmit power of each base station is equal and thermal noise at the mobile
is negligible. For your convenience, a hexagon worksheet is attached. Note that
unreasonable approximations will not get any credit.

1. (15 points) Assume the mobile is at the location, where it would receive the
weakest signal from its own base station. Assuming co-channel interfering cells
in the first tier, solve the following problems.

(a) (10 points) Derive the formula of the signal-to-interference ratio (S/I or
SIR) at the mobile when the base stations are using the 60◦ -sector anten-
nas.
(b) 5 points What is the SIR of the mobile for γ = 4?

2. (15 points) Now consider the interference from the co-channel cells in the second
tier along with the interference from co-channel cells in the first tier.

(a) (10 points) Modify the formulas of the SIRs of 1a.


(b) (5 points) What is the SIR of the mobile for γ = 4?

Problem 2: (20 Points) Problem on GOS in Cellular System: Assume


that there are 84 cells in the system and 360 voice channels are available. Users are
uniformly distributed over the area covered by the cellular system, and the offered
traffic by the system is 0.04 Erlang/user. Also assume that blocked calls are cleared
and the designated blocking probability is Pb = 1%. Please determine the maximum
carried traffic per cell and the maximum number of users that can be supported by
the system. Please note that this problem is a continuation of the above
problem.
