NUMBER OF CELLS PER CLUSTER (K)

Design requirement states that the signal to noise ratio is 19 dB. Applying inverse
logarithm we could obtain the ratio value which is reflected on the preceding line.

SNR  10 10  79.4328

Using the equation of signal to noise ratio we could derive for the frequency reuse
value (K).

Where:
= Propagation Constant = 4
n= number of adjacent interfering signals or co-interfering cells
n=7

The derived equation for K is as follows;

Cells use a hexagonal shape, which provides exactly six equidistant neighboring
cells, and the lines joining the centers of any cell with its neighboring cell are separated
by multiples of 60. Therefore limited number of cluster sizes and cell layouts is possible.
To connect cells without gaps in between, the geometry of a hexagon is such that the
number of cells per cluster can only have values that satisfy this equation wherein i and j
are positive integer values.
Solving for K:

NUMBER OF VOICE CHANNELS AND FREQUENCY CHANNELS

**Total number of transceivers is equal to the number of allotted frequency-channel

pairs
Total transceivers = Frequency channels
= 20 channels = 20 transceivers
Maximum Total transceivers = 20 transceivers

**Dividing the maximum total transceiver to K gives us the number of transceiver per
cluster; this is reflected on the following computations. The system is divided into 3
clusters therefore;
Transceiver / cluster = 20 / 3
Maximum transceiver / cluster = 7 transceiver / cluster
Since number of transceiver = frequency channel Thus,
Maximum frequency channels per cluster =5 frequency channel/cluster
Since Allowable Usable Channels is 30 and the number of cells per cluster is 3,
Channel / cluster = 20 / 4 = 7
Channel / cluster = 7 channels / cluster
This design uses FDMA technology.

Number of voice channels per cell = cluster channel

Number of voice channels per cluster = 7 x 20 - 138

Maximum voice channels per cluster = 98 voice channels /cluster

SUBSCRIBER PER CLUSTER

Using an Erlang B calculator we could calculate for the traffic generated by 138
voice channels with a 10 % Grade of Service

The traffic is 145.9 Erlangs per cluster. To determine the number of subscriber per
cluster, we divided the traffic per cluster with the 0.1 Erlangs Traffic originating per
subscriber. Hence;

Subscriber 145.9

**The obtained value is the maximum subscriber number that a cluster could
accommodate.

Maximum voice channels per cluster = 138 voice channels /cluster

K = 3 cells/cluster
Maximum voice channels per cell =

The traffic is 45.243 Erlangs per cell. To determine the number of subscriber per cluster,
we divided the traffic per cluster with the 0.1 Erlangs Traffic originating per subscriber.
Hence;
