A FDD cellular mobile system allocates a bandwidth of 32 MHz that uses 50 kHz simplex channels for voice communication. Assume each user averages 1 call/hour and each call lasting 3 minutes. The system also uses 5 clusters with a cluster size of N=16. On separate note, traffic study requested from Ameritech Co. informs the cellular mobile system that the traffic intensity is too high. An alternative to this is to use sectorized cells. Therefore, the system is redesigned using 120' cell sectoring and a new cluster size of N=4 is used. What is the blocking probability if the number of users in a cell is increased 3 times compared to the original system. Discuss the changes you have observed in the blocking probability.
