14. The GSM System uses a frame structure where each frame consists of eight time slots, and
each time slot contains 156.25 bits, and the data is transmitted at 270.833 kbps in the
channel, compute (i) the time duration of a bit, (ii) the time duration of a slot, (iii) the time
duration of a frame and (iv) how long must a user occupying a single time slot wait
between two successive transmissions.

15. If W= 1.25 MHz , R= 9600bps and a minimum acceptable Eb/N0 is found to be 10 dB,
determine the maximum number of users that can be supported in a single-cell CDMA
system using (i) omnidirectional base station antennas and no voice activity detection, and
(ii) three-sectors at the base station and activity detection with α = 3/8. Assume the system
is interference limited.
