1. Compare with help by aid of diagram the differences between conventional mobile radio and
cellular radio system.
2. Give 2 types of cell sites and 3 types of cell. Provides three reasons why cellular radio system
designer prefer to use hexagon to approximate the cell.
3. How to avoid adjacent cell interference in cellular radio system? Show the channel allocation for
GSM900 system at N = 3 using omni cell and sectorized cell.
4. Describe how cell splitting can be achieved in cellular radio system.
5. A cellular radio system operating using GSM900 standard using 7 cell per cluster. Calculate
i. the number of users that can made call at any one time in each cell.
ii. capacity for 3 cluster and 50 channel per cell.
6. If 20 MHz of total spectrum is allocated for duplex wireless cellular and each simplex channel
has 25 kHz bandwidth. Find:
i. total number of duplex
ii. total number of channel per cell if N = 12
7. A total of 24 MHz of bandwidth is allocated to particular FDD cellular telephone system that
uses two 30 kHz simplex channel to provide duplex voice channel and control channel. Each cell
phone user generates 0.1 Erlangs of traffic. Assume Erlang B is used. Determine:
i. number of channels in each cell for 4 cell reuse system.
ii. If each cell is to offer capacity that is 90% of perfect scheduling. Find maximum number
of users that can support per cell and blocking probability of the system.
8. A certain area is covered by a cellular radio system with 84 cell and cluster size, N. 300 voice
channel are available for the system. Assume traffic per user is 0.04 Erlang and blocking
probability is 1%. Calculate:
i. maximum carried traffic per cell for N = 4. Repeat for N = 7 and 12.
ii. maximum number can be served by the system for N = 4. Repeat for N = 7 and 12.
9. A city has an area 2100 km2 and serving by a cellular system using 7 cell per cluster. The area
each cell is 100 km2. Total allocated frequency is 40 MHz having a channel bandwidth of 30kHz.
Assuming GoS of 3%. Each user has an average call per hour equal to 2 and average call duration
of 3 minutes. Calculate the following:
i. number of duplex channel available
ii. number of channel per cell
iii. number of cluster in a given service area

vi. number of users per channel
vi. number of users that can be supported in service area
10. For digital cellular radio system, a co-channel cell having the following parameters:
f = 900MHz; Transmitted power = 10 dBm; Gain of antenna for radio base station (RBS) = 8 dB;
Height of antenna = 200 m ; Gain of antenna for mobile station (MS) = 2 dB; Height of MS above
ground level = 3 m; radius of cell = 1 km; Medium loss = 20 dB; Distance between co-channel
cell = 8 km.

interference ratio and optimum distance between co-channel cell.
ii.? Repeat Q10(i), assume that plane earth propagation is exist.
iii.? Calculate the number of cell per cluster for maximum capacity for plane earth condition.
Repeat is analogue cellular radio system is used.
