Question
A 4-cell reuse cellular system is being rolled out into an operation area and you are the engineer taking charge of this project. The subscriber density for the operation area is 600 people per km2. The average traffic load generated per subscriber is 0.2 Er. You are required to deploy 8 clusters of cells in the operation area and provide a Grade of Service of 0.5% to the subscribers using the blocked calls cleared model. You found out that the total number of trunk channels available to the system is 140. Assuming that fixed channel assignment is used, compute:
- a) The traffic load that can be offered to the operation area.
- b) The size of the operation area (in km2) that can be supported by the system.
- c) The proposed cell area and radius, based on the operation area determined in part (b).
- Having successfully implemented the first system above, you are now tasked to implement another system. The requirement is that, this second system must have a cluster size of 7 and provides a Grade of Service of 0.5%. The population density for the operation area is 1200 people per km2 and market penetration rate is 70%, The total number of trunk channels available to the system is 252 and the system employs blocked calls delayed model. In addition, a 120o Sectorization technique must be implemented. Assuming that fixed channel assignment is used, compute:
- The subscriber density.
- The traffic load that can be offered to a cluster.
- The actual carried traffic load, i.e. the actual non-delayed offered traffic load, for each cluster.
