# Question Solved1 AnswerConsider a cellular system operating at 900 MHz where propagation follows free space path loss with variations from log normal shadowing with σ = 6 dB. Suppose that for acceptable voice quality a signal-to-noise power ratio of 15 dB is required at the mobile. Assume the base station transmits at 1 W and its antenna has a 3 dB gain. There is no antenna gain at the mobile and the receiver noise in the bandwidth of interest is -10 dBm. Find the maximum cell size so that a mobile on the cell boundary will have acceptable voice quality 90% of the time.
