that the transmitted signal will suffer? Can this inter-bridge operate BTL -5 Evaluating
properly? (Assume that antennas are installed on top of the proof and
use the okumura hata macro cell model for prediction. (15)
2. i) A QPSK/DSSS WLAN is designed to transmit in the 902-928MHz
ISM band. The symbol transmission rate is 0.5 Mega symbols/sec.an
orthogonal code with 16 symbols is used. A bit error rate of 10-5 is
required. How many users can be supported by the WLAN? A sector
antenna with a gain of 2.6 is used. Assume interference factor =0.5 to BTL -5 Evaluating
account for the interference from users in other cells and power
control
efficiency =0.9.what is the bandwidth efficiency. (7)

You are designing a WLAN for an office building, you are not able to
perform measurements or site surveys and have to rely on statistical
models and certain other information, there are also certain constraints
on where you can actually place the access
Point. You have the following information available to you.
a) Maximum number of walls between an axis point and
the mobile terminal=4
b) Maximum number of floors between an axis point and
the mobile terminal=2
BTL -6 Creating
c) Transmit power possibilities=250Mw and 100Mw
d) Sensitivity of receiver is -80dB
e) Maximum distance from access point to building
edge=30m f) Building has office walls, brick walls and
metallic doors.
g) Shadow fading margin=8dB
