Additional Description

Abstract

A Personal Communication System (PCS) is designed for the city of Pune, India using the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) standard. Even though Wireless Communication is a vast area for study, the important aspects of PCS system design are covered.

While designing the PCS system, study of the geographic area, and the atmospheric and climatic conditions is very important. Pune has a very good atmosphere throughout the year. The Monsoon (rainy season) is moderate and will not affect the operation of the PCS system. The land is flat throughout the city. The maximum height of the buildings in the heart of the city is 60 feet (18 meters). These conditions help to maintain the factor of Propagation Path Loss to a very low value of "2".

The area covered by the PCS system is in the form of a network of Cells. The PCS system covers all the important business areas where there is frequent use of cellular phone applications, such as Business, Commercial, Residential, Government offices, Industrial, Emergency services, and Major Roads.

Cells are formed in hexagonal shapes, which covers a maximum area per cell. Base Stations are located at the center of each cell. Directional antennas are used at the base station towers. Use of several directional antennas, each radiating within a specified sector, improve the transmitting and receiving qualities for the user opoerating in a particular sector.

Cell diagonals are kept small, forming multiple coverage areas, which results in increasing signal strength in each cell. Co-channel resuse ratio is also kept constant. We can also apply the technique of cell splitting, which increase the number of channels per unit area.

A Financial analysis is done at the end of tenth year. The payback on investment can easily be recovered two years later.
