    FIRST YEAR FIRST SEMESTER FIRST CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT TEST FOR THE

    DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING


    PUE 4114: ADVANCED TOPICS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
    DATE: August, 2022 TIME: 90 Minutes

    Instruction: Attempt all the questions

    1. Briefly explain why maximal ratio combining gives the best performance in combating deep
    fades in a wireless channel. (3 Marks)
    2. Consider an AWGN channel with N-branch diversity combining and γi = 15 dB per branch.
    Assume MQAM modulation with M = 4 and use the approximation Pb = 0.2e−1.5γ/(M−1) for bit
    error probability, where γ is the received SNR.
    i. Find Pb for N = 1.
    ii. Find N so that, under MRC, Pb < 10−6. (6 Marks)
    3. Consider a receiver with noise power −160 dBm within the signal bandwidth of interest.
    Assume a simplified path-loss model with d0 = 1 m, K obtained from the free-space path-loss
    formula with omnidirectional antennas and fc = 1 GHz, and γ = 4. For a transmit power of Pt =
    10 mW, determine the maximum distance between the transmitter and receiver such that the
    received signal-to-noise power ratio is 20 dB. (5 Marks)
    ̅
    4. Suppose a flat-fading wireless channel has a fixed transmit power 𝑃 resulting in the received
    SNR of one of four values: γ1 = 30 dB, γ2 = 20 dB, γ3 = 10 dB, and γ4 = 0 dB. The probability
    associated with each state is p1 = 0.2, p2 = 0.3, p3 = 0.3, and p4 = 0.2. Assume that both
    transmitter and receiver have Channel State Information.
    i. Find the optimal power control policy 𝑃(𝑖)/𝑃̅ for this channel and its corresponding
    Shannon capacity per unit Hertz.
    ii. Find the channel inversion power control policy for this channel and associated zero-outage
    capacity per unit bandwidth. (6 Marks)
    5. It is given that multiplexing gain (r) and diversity gain (d) approximately satisfy the
    diversity/multiplexing trade-off dopt(r) = (Mt − r)(Mr − r) at any large finite SNR. For an Mt =
    Mr = 8 MIMO system with an SNR of 20 dB, if we require a spectral efficiency of R = 20 bps
    per hertz, determine the maximum diversity gain the system can provide. (4 Marks)
    6. Consider an 8 × 4 MIMO system,and assume a coding scheme that can achieve the rate-diversity
    tradeoff d(r) = (Mt − r)(Mr − r).
    i. Find the maximum multiplexing rate for this channel, given a required Pe = ρ−d ≤
    10−3, assuming ρ = 20 dB.
    ii. Given the r in part (i), determine the resulting Pe. (6 Marks)
    7. Consider a multicarrier modulation transmission scheme with three non-overlapping sub-
    channels spaced 200 kHz apart (from carrier to carrier) with sub-channel baseband bandwidth
    of 100 kHz.

    i. Determine the values of the channel coherence bandwidth for which the sub-
    channels of your multicarrier scheme will exhibit flat-fading (approximately no
    ISI).
    ii. Determine the values of the channel coherence bandwidth for which the subcarriers
    of your multicarrier scheme will exhibit independent fading. (3 Marks)
    8. Consider an SFH system with hop time Tc = 40 μs and symbol time Ts = 4 μs. If the FH signal
    is transmitted over a multipath channel, determine the approximate range of multipath delay
    spreads that the received despread signal will exhibit frequency-selective fading. (3 Marks)
    9. The next generation cellular system, 5G, is expected to operate in various frequency bands
    including the 28GHz frequency band. By giving two points of view, each, as compared with
    current cellular (2G, 3G, 4G) systems which operate in 1-2 GHz band, discuss the differences
    that you will expect from
    i. large scale radio propagation (propagation loss and shadowing)
    ii. small scale radio propagation (multipath fading) (4 Marks)
