As was mentioned, the one-way bandwidth available to a single operator in the AMPS system is 12.5 MHz with a channel bandwidth of 30 kHz and 21 control channels. We would like to calculate the efficiency with which this system utilizes bandwidth for a particular installation. Use the following parameters:
Cell area = 8 km2.
Total coverage area = 4000 km2 Frequency reuse factor = 7
Average number of calls per user during the busy hour =1.2
Average holding time of a call = 100 s
Call blocking probability = 2%
a. How many voice channels are there per cell?
b. Use Table 13.1 and a simple straight-line interpolation to determine the total traffic carried per cell, in Erlangs/cell. Then convert that to Erlangs/km2.
c. Calculate the number of calls/hour/cell and the number of calls/hour/km2.
d. Calculate the number of users/hour/cell and the number of users/hour/channel.
e. A common definition of spectral efficiency with respect to modulation, or modulation efficiency, in Erlangs/MHz/km2, is
ηm= (Total traffic carried by the system) / ((Bandwidth)(Total coverage area))
Determine the modulation efficiency for this system.
