EEL 6935- Wireless PCS Homework #1 SOLUTION

Prob.1
(a) Problem 2.5 of class text.
(b) Problem 2.10 of class text

a)
Refer to Fig.2-12 and Table 2.4 for the ISM bands used for WLAN in Europe, North
America, and Japan.
N. America ch.1-11 2412-2462 ch.2-80
Europe ch.1-13 2412-2472 ch.2-82
Japan ch.1-14 2412-2484 ch.2-95
Because of the compatibility (overlap) of the operated frequencies in the ISM band, there
is convergence of WLAN applications and rapid growth worldwide.

b).
The maximum raw instantaneous data rate that can be provided to a single user in EDGE,
given time slot is 68.4 kbps, and one user had all 8 channels is 8x68.4 = 547.2 kbps.
In practice, with contention and error coding requirements, the single user data rate may
be as low as 384 bps.

and h is the antenna height, is the transmission wavelength.
(a) Derive an expression for the signal-to-interference ratio for a hexagonal cell
structure with cluster size seven. Ignore interferers from cells outside the 2nd tier.

h = base station antenna height and d = Transmitter-receiver distance in meters.
Determine the increase in the coverage area (assuming 50% probability at the cell
boundary) when the base station antenna height is increased from 30 m to 200m, and the
link budget allows 155 dB.
