Outline • Review • Trunking and Grade of Service • Technique to improve the capacity • Call procedure • Free Space Propagation Model • Reflection • Diffraction • Scattering ECE6331 Spring 2009
Trunking • Trunking: the channel is allocated on demand and recycle after usage • Tradeoff between the number of channels and blocking probability • Grade of service • Likelihood of a call is blocked or the delay greater than a threshold during the busiest time. • Trunking theory • Erlang, a Danish Mathematician studied how a large population could be accommodated by a limited number of servers. • Erlang capacity: the percentage of line/channel occupied over time ECE6331 Spring 2009
Trunking Theory • Each user generates a traffic intensity of Au Erlangs. • Au=H, where H is the average duration of a call and is the average number of call requests per unit time for each user • A=UAu, where U no. of users and A is the total offered traffic intensity • Ac=UAu/C, where C is the number of channels • Offered traffic >= the traffic carried by the trunked system • First type of trunked system • Blocked calls cleared: no queuing for call requests, no setup time • M/M/m/m: memory-less, Poisson arrival, exponential service, finite channels. • Erland B formula ECE6331 Spring 2009
Blocked Calls Delayed • Blocking calls are delayed until channels are available, queuing • Erlang C • Probability of delay lager than t • Exponential service distributions • Pr[delay>t]=Pr[delay>0]Pr[delay>t|delay>0] =Pr[delay>0]exp(-(C-A)t/H) • The average delay D • D=Pr[delay>0]H/(C-A) ECE6331 Spring 2009
Approaches to Increasing Capacity • Frequency borrowing • frequencies are taken from adjacent cells by congested cells • Cell splitting • cells in areas of high usage can be split into smaller cells • Cell sectoring • cells are divided into a number of wedge-shaped sectors, each with their own set of channels • Microcells • antennas move to buildings, hills, and lamp posts ECE6331 Spring 2009
Speed, Wavelength, Frequency • Light speed = Wavelength x Frequency = 3 x 108 m/s = 300,000 km/s ECE6331 Spring 2009

Large-scale small-scale propagation ECE6331 Spring 2009
Models are Specialized • Different scales • Large scale (averaged over meters) • Small scale (order of wavelength) • Different environmental characteristics • Outdoor, indoor, land, sea, space, etc. • Different application areas • macrocell (2km), microcell(500m), picocell ECE6331 Spring 2009
Free space propagation model • Assumes far-field (Fraunhofer region) • d >> D and d >> , where • D is the largest linear dimension of antenna • is the carrier wavelength • No interference, no obstructions • Black board 4.1 • Effective isotropic radiated power • Effective radiated power • Path loss • Fraunhofer region/far field • In log scale • Example 4.1 and 4.2 ECE6331 Spring 2009

Antenna Model • Example 4.3 ECE6331 Spring 2009
Radio Propagation Mechanisms • Refraction • Conductors & Dielectric materials (refraction) • Propagation wave impinges on an object which is large as compared to wavelength - e.g., the surface of the Earth, buildings, walls, etc. • Diffraction • Fresnel zones • Radio path between transmitter and receiver obstructed by surface with sharp irregular edges • Waves bend around the obstacle, even when LOS (line of sight) does not exist • Scattering • Objects smaller than the wavelength of the propagation wave - e.g. foliage, street signs, lamp posts • “Clutter” is small relative to wavelength ECE6331 Spring 2009
Refraction • Perfect conductors reflect with no attenuation • Like light to the mirror • Dielectrics reflect a fraction of incident energy • “Grazing angles” reflect max* • Steep angles transmit max* • Like light to the water • Reflection induces 180 phase shift • Why?

Diffraction Diffraction occurs when waves hit the edge of an obstacle “Secondary” waves propagated into the shadowed region Water wave example Diffraction is caused by the propagation of secondary wavelets into a shadowed region. Excess path length results in a phase shift The field strength of a diffracted wave in the shadowed region is the vector sum of the electric field components of all the secondary wavelets in the space around the obstacle. Huygen’s principle: all points on a wavefront can be considered as point sources for the production of secondary wavelets, and that these wavelets combine to produce a new wavefront in the direction of propagation.
