You should normally receive feedback on your coursework by no later than 15
working days after the formal hand-in date, provided that you have met the
submission deadline.
If for any reason this is not forthcoming by the due date your module leader will let
you know why and when it can be expected. The Associate Professor Student

Turnitin on LearningZone.
If you need any support or advice on completing this coursework please visit the
Student Matters tab on the CEM LearningZone shell.
Late submission of coursework policy:
Late submissions will be processed in accordance with current University
regulations which state:
“the time period during which a student may submit a piece of work late without authorisation
and have the work capped at [40% at PG level] if passed is 14 calendar days. Work
submitted unauthorised more than 14 calendar days after the original submission date will
receive a mark of 0%. These regulations apply to a student’s first attempt at coursework.
Work submitted late without authorisation which constitutes reassessment of a previously
failed piece of coursework will always receive a mark of 0%.”
Academic Offences and Bad Academic Practices:
These include plagiarism, cheating, collusion, copying work and reuse of your own
work, poor referencing or the passing off of somebody else's ideas as your own.
Please ensure you read the section entitled “Academic Offences and Bad Academic
Practice” in the module handbook or the relevant sections in this link: BaseCamp

ENGD3106 Mobile Communication 2
Coursework Assignment
2024-2025
Mobile Communication
Systems
Total Mark: 50
Issue date: 31/01/2025
Submission deadline: 02/04/2024
Feedback date: 28/04/2025
Aim: In this assignment, you will use Matlab to simulate multiple-antenna
communication systems, and demonstrate an understanding of modulation techniques
in 4G and 5G systems.
What to submit: Your coursework must be submitted as a report in Word format to
Turnitin. All Matlab scripts used must be included in an appendix at the end of the
report. This includes all additional functions you have written as part of your code (if
any). Your Matlab code must be well-commented and documented. All references
must be in IEEE format. Please note that 5 marks will be allocated to the presentation
and organisation of your report including the documentation of your Matlab code.
Task 1
1) A single-input single-output (SISO) system operates at 2.6 GHz with a line-of sight (LoS) channel between the transmitter (Tx) and the receiver (Rx).
Write a Matlab script that simulates transmission of a randomly generated
bitstream of 106 bits over an Additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel
using the three modulation techniques used in LTE-A (4G), i.e., QPSK, 16-QAM
and 64-QAM. Plot and compare the bit error rate (BER) of these modulation
techniques as a function of the energy per bit to noise power spectral density ratio
(Eb/N0) for an AWGN channel. Discuss and analyse your results.
[10 marks]
2) Consider a multi-input multiple output (MIMO) system with a n-element ULA Tx
array and a n-element ULA Rx array all with half-wavelength spacing.
Considering QPSK modulation only, demonstrate the array gain in multiple antenna systems by comparing the BER of the SISO system in 1) with that of
MIMO systems for n = 4, 8 and 16 under AWGN channels.
Discuss and analyse your results.
[12 marks]
3) Based on your findings in 2), estimate the array gain that will be achieved if 64x64
MIMO is deployed. Explain your answer.
[3 marks]
Task 2
The International Telecommunication Union defines the propagation model for an
urban macro-cell scenario within street canyons between a base station and a mobile
user as:
𝐿(𝑑, 𝑓𝑐) = 10𝛼 log10(𝑑) + 𝛽 + 10𝛾 log10(𝑓𝑐
) dB
where L is the magnitude of the link attenuation in dB
d is the distance between the transmitter and receiver in m
fc is the operating frequency in GHz
𝛼 is a coefficient associated with the increase of the basic transmission loss
with distance
𝛽 is a coefficient associated with the offset value of the basic transmission
loss
𝛾 is a coefficient associated with the increase of the basic transmission loss
with frequency
The values of the basic transmission loss coefficients for below-rooftop propagation
are reported in Table I, for the line-of-sight (LoS) scenario and the non-line-of-sight
(NLoS) scenario.
Table 1 Basic transmission loss coefficients for below-rooftop propagation
Frequency range (GHz) Distance range (m) α β
0.8-82 5-660 LoS 3.01 29.2 5.06
0.8-82 30-715 NLoS 4.00 10.2 7.60
1) Write a Matlab function that can calculate the cell radius based on a given link
budget using the parameters in Table 2, that shows the link budget for the uplink
on a mobile communication system operating on 2.100 GHz, as inputs.
Then, write a Matlab script that uses your function to calculate the cell radius
using the values in Table 2.
Table 2: Link budget for an uplink

Antenna gain 1.5 dBi

Required Eb/N0 at base station decoder 5 dB
Fast fading margin -5 dB
Log-normal fading margin -7.3 dB

[8 marks]
2) Compare the cell coverage range of line-of-sight (LoS) scenario with the non line-of-sight (NLoS) one. Explain your findings.
[6 marks]
3) LTE-A (4G) systems use the three modulation techniques QPSK, 16QAM and
64QAM.
a. Research the literature, and cite the related references, to discuss the impact of
using different modulation techniques on the cell coverage range when all other
system setup parameters are the same including the required Eb/N0.
[3 marks]
b. Demonstrate that impact using the Matlab code in Task 2.1) using NLoS
scenario.
