Q1. Answer the following:

(a) Discuss the concepts/techniques to increase both coverage and capacity in cellular mobile
communication network without using new spectra. Also explain their limitation (if any) and the
mitigation technique with necessary diagram.
(b) Explain the basic concept of the spread-spectrum technique. Discuss various diversity techniques those
are commonly used in the CDMA system.
(c) Briefly explain a typical mobile communication network’s architecture with the aid of appropriate
functional block diagram.

Q2. Answer the following:

(a) Show that signal-to-interference ratio, S I   3N 
n
i0 , where, N is the number of cells in a cluster,
n is the path loss gradient, and i0 is the number of interfering cells.
(b) Calculate the coverage of a BTS if the transmitted power, receiver sensitivity, reference point loss,
gain of the transmitting and receiving antennas, and path loss gradient are 2kW, -100dBm, 20dB, 10dB
and 3dB, and 3 respectively.
(c) Prepare a look-up table for (2, 1, 3) convolutional code, where the polynomials for v1 and v2 are
(Octal conversion of any one appropriate digit of your SID) and (1, 0, 1), respectively. Also encode
the bit sequence of 10100 for (2, 1, 3) convolutional code using State diagram.
(d) Calculate the appeared carrier frequency for a mobile station, which is moving toward the transmitter
at a velocity of 60km/Hour and the carrier frequency is 1.8GHz.
(e) Sketch the waveform of the 8-QAM modulation scheme for the bit sequence of 111001000.
