Consider a city of your choice that has a population of about 500,000 - 1000,000. (Name this city) Assume suitable demography for the city to estimate the would-be users of a mobile communication facility. Applying typical norms, obtain the demand on a such facility in terms of offered traffic load. Assume you have the 5G spectrum in the GSM band. 5G is divided into three frequency bands (low, mid, and high). Each band has different capabilities: the low band (less than 1GHz) has greater coverage but lower speeds, the mid-band (1GHz-6GHz) offers a balance of both, and the high band (24GHz-40GHz) offers higher speeds but a smaller coverage radius.

Assume you are going to use mid-band (1GHz-6GHz) and design the mobile communication system to cater to the city. You may base your design on the 5G GSM technology. Specify the parameters you will take as the basis for your system. These may include variables such as cluster size, cell sizes along with intended co-channel reuse distances, acceptable signal-to-noise ratio, aimed grade of service, etc. You should be able to come up with the number of base stations required in your system as the absolute minimum. As an extension to the assignment, you may consider estimating the cost of the implementation of your system. Among the costs to consider would be items such as the license cost of spectrum hire, the equipment cost at base stations and the mobile switching centers, the lease cost of the fixed network that connects base stations and the mobile switching centers, etc.
