QUESTION 7:
In a 10-cell WCDMA system, 1000 active users are present and each user has received 50 number of bits
correctly on an average over 1 milli second interval of time. Find the cell spectral efficiency for the
channel bandwidth of 5 MHz.
a. 1 bit/s/Hz/cell
b. 1.5 bit/s/Hz/cell
c. 2 bit/s/Hz/cell
d. 2.5 bit/s/Hz/cell
Correct Answer: (a)
Detailed Solution:
Total Number of users N=1000, Number of cells M=10, Time over which data bits are received T= 10-3
sec, Number of correctly received bits by user i 𝜒𝑖 = 50, Channel bandwidth ω= 5x106 Hz. Substituting
these values in the following equation
∑𝑁 𝜒
𝑖=1 𝑖 1000×50
The cell spectral efficiency 𝜂 = 𝑇×𝜔×𝑀 = 10−3 ×5×106 ×10= 1 bit/s/Hz

a. 0.015 bit/s/Hz
b. 0.025 bit/s/Hz
c. 0.035 bit/s/Hz
d. 0.045 bit/s/Hz

QUESTION 11:
The downlink spectral efficiency of a cell is given to be 10 bit/s/Hz and if there are 20 active users are
associated with the base station, find the data rate per user when the channel bandwidth is 10 MHz.
a. 2 Mbps
b. 3 Mbps
c. 4 Mbps
d. 5 Mbps
Correct Answer: (d)
Detailed Solution
The total data rate the cell can support in downlink (R) = the downlink spectral efficiency×Channel
bandwidth
R = 10 bit/s/Hz × 10 MHz = 100 Mbs
Per user data rate = total data rate (R) ÷ the number of users = 100 Mbps/20 = 5Mbps
