PART C 20 MARKS

1 a. Explain with schematic the intra-frequency handover procedure. (10marks)

b. Consider an LTE base station communicating to subscriber with the channel parameters α= 3,
P0=-40dB, d 0 = 1m and σ 0= 6dB. Assume a transmit power P1=-1W, a bandwidth of B=10MHz
and due to error correction coding, a received SNR of 14.7dB is required for 16 QAM while just
3dB is required for BPSK. Finally, consider only ambient noise with a typical power spectral
density of N 0 = -173dBm/Hz with an additional receiver noise figure of N 1= -5dB. At a distance
of 500m from the base station, what is the likelihood that the base station can reliably send
BPSK or 16 QAM? Given Q(-4/6)- 0.75 and Q(7.7/6)=0.007.

2 a. Explain the LTE network architecture.

b. Illustrate selection, reselection process and automatic neighbor list generation for the UE in
the idle mode mobility.
