For GSM-900 system, total band allotted is 890-960MHz=70MHz.

Out of that 20MHz for Guard Band.


1 simplex channel occupies 200KHz.
therefore, 1 duplex channel occupies 400Hz.
Total number of channels possible=50000/400=125.
Out of these, 2 not used.1 for separating the spectrum from other
applications.
therefore, left=122.
Out of these, 90=Traffic channels.
32=control channels.
Also, GSM-900 accommodates 8users per channel simultaneously due
to TDMA.
Problem Analysis:- Total investment=1000Crores.
=500 Cr--License
+500 Cr--installation, advertisement
Therefore target earnings=10*1000 Cr
=10,000 Cr.
Solution :1.FOR CITY 1:DESIGN ISSUES:- Each user uses 30 minutes voice calls per day.
therefore, 8 users accommodated for 30 minutes per day per channel.
Therefore, total number of users accommodated in 1 day per
channel=24*60*8/30=384.

Population willing to access the services in City1. i.e. number of users


accommodated per day for city 1=(20% of 10 Cr=2 Cr)*100%=2 Cr.
therefore, number of channels required=(number of users per day)/
(number of users accommodated in 1 day per channel)
=2 Cr/384=52083.4=52084
Design(Given for city 1-same method can be used for other regions):Given co-channel reuse ratio(N)=7
M=cluster reuse ratio
total number of traffic channels available per cluster=90
90*M=52084
therefore, M=578.71=579
therefore, Area(1 cluster)=Total area/M=20,000/579=34.54Km^2
therefore, area(1 cell)=34.54/7 =4.9346Km^2
therefore, radius(1 hexagonal cell)=1.378Km.
For tariff plan(complete solution):Consider 1 unit =1 minute of voice call
therefore, for city 1, total units of voice calls per day=30(=units
consumed by 1 user per day)*2 Cr(=Number of willing users)=60 Cr
Similarly,
for city 2, total units of voice calls per day=30 Cr
for city 3, total units of voice calls per day=13 Cr
for town 1-5, total units of voice calls per
day=10*(.525+0.75+0.3+0.3+0.3)Cr=21.75 Cr
for village 1-5, total units of voice calls per day =
5*(.2+.2+0.1+0.1+0.04)Cr=3.2 Cr

therefore, total units of voice calls per day for the entire geographical
region=60+30+13+21.75+3.2=127.95 Cr
therefore, total units of voice calls in 5 years= 127.95*365*5=233508.75
cr
Total SMSes/day=(5*2 Cr---for city 1)+
(5*.15 Cr ----for city 2)+
(3*1.3 Cr --- for city 3)+
(5*2,175--- for town 1-5)+
(5*0.64---for villges 1-5)
=35.475 Cr.
therefore, in 5 years total SMSes=35.475*365*5=64741.875 Cr
therefore, in 5 years, total units used (considering 1 sms=1 unit since
tariff rate for 1 unit voice call and 1 sms is to be taken same)=64741.875
Cr+233508.75 Cr=298250.625
total units * cost of 1 unit=10,000 Cr
therefore, Cost of 1 unit=voice call/min=1 sms=0.33 paise(the result will
vary a bit due to various rounding errors during the process).
NOTE :-- SIR calculation is as in the other problems and nowhere is
required in th other calculations.
Table 2 is not used for the entire problem.
Table 3 required only for SIR calculation-not relevant for other parts of
the question.
