Course objectives:

1. To provide the student with understanding of limitations of conventional mobile telephone

systems and describe how to increase number of users/subscribers by using frequency reuse
concept.
2. To identify the co-channel interference occurring in the cellular systems and to evaluate the co-
channel reduction factor and the carrier to interference ratio (C/I) for improving coverage and
capacity in cellular system.
3. To provide the student with an understanding of effects on coverage and interference for signal
and traffic.
4. To give the student a better understanding of frequency management and channel assignment.
5. To evaluate dropped call rates, forced handoff, mobile assisted handoff, soft handoff and
intersystem handoff.

Course outcomes:
1. By the end of the course student will be able to understand the limitations of conventional Mobile
Telephone System and operation of cellular system.
2. Understands the concept of frequency Reuse channels, Deduce the Co-channel interference
reduction factor. The student will be able to design an antenna system to reduce co-channel
interference. Understand frequency management and channel assignment strategies.
3. The student will be able to understand the how to overcome the different fading techniques, merit
of Lee Model.
4. The student will have a detailed idea on frequency management and channel assignment.
5. The student will have idea of Handoff and evaluation of dropped call rate and to pursue research
in the area of wireless communications.
