Channels in big cities such as Melbourne, Sydney, Tokyo, New York, Delhi, Lagos, Johannesburg and Paris have similar characteristics because they have high population densities, high rise buildings and urban structures. The types of buildings and other natural and man-made structures determine the nature of the channels in such cities. Consider that you are the design engineer. You are given a responsibility to plan a 4G mobile communication network in Melbourne for good reception inside buildings. You are allowed to use 4G picocells to enable good reception. Melbourne is a city with high rise buildings, dense buildings, hills, high density populations during business times and the CBD is close to the coast. There have been historical concerns about the ever growing number of varied types of signal degradation sources. In other words, the communication channels are going to impact the transmitted signal in the channels very badly. Unfortunately, there are no records of types of channel for your use for the area you live now. The streets are also very narrow and often behave as wind tunnels during windy and rainy periods particularly if you live in the CBD area. Since Melbourne has varying population densities around suburbs most of the day, any solutions you propose should consider the impact of poor reception. Assignment 1 2020 Part A: Mapping of Physical Channels in Your building Reflect on the above problem. How will you go about establishing the types of channels that are available in the building where you live? Propose your solutions to the above problem to enable you position a hypothetical 4G access point properly for good reception in your house where you live. a) Enumerate and name the types of channels you find b) Estimate the length of measurable channels and if they are physical items like chairs and tables, estimate their densities (number per square metre) in each room c) Using the Internet, find the characteristics (permittivity, permeability and conductivity) of the channels you identified in a) d) Which type of channel material in the areas you explored are likely the worst indoor channels? What would you do to find out which types of channels are going to be most problematic? 3 Lasted Updated: March 24, 2020 Note the Following Format of Grading Carefully Part A (Presentation): Due April 15, 2020 1. Presentation (in Lab Class): April 15, 2020 This is a 10 minutes individual presentation using Power Point slides Note: During the Lab for Week 4 (April 15 in class), you are required to present your findings to the class. The presentations will be assessed with marks given towards your final grade in this unit Each student will be given 10 minutes to present his or her findings. Ensure you prepare at least 10 PowerPoint slides for this presentation which should include the photo of your house You will explain your report so far to the class in Week 4 Lab session as an individual. Part B (Report): 2. Assignment 1 Report: submit your final report through Moodle on Wednesday April 22 by 12 midnight. Using the feedback given to you during the April 15 presentation, update your report and submit a report through Moodle. Submission window will be closed in Moodle after 12 midnight and no other form of submission will be accepted. Format of Report (April 22, 2020) Your report should include 1. The title of this laboratory 2. An introduction section 3. A 1 page review of communication channels 4. A table of channel materials and their permittivity for indoor materials found in your building 5. A second table of channel materials and their permeability for indoor materials found in your building 6. A third table for the channel materials with their conductivity values 7. A discussion on the channel types found and how each type is likely going to affect radio frequency signals at frequencies below 2.4 HGz. You may check publications and the Internet for papers discussing these issues and using them for your report. 8. Correct referencing using the IEEE referencing format 9. A one page appendix which is your reflective journal which MUST use the DEEP reflection method 10. This report must not be more than 10 pages long and not less than 4 pages long (single line spacing). Marking criteria: Marking criteria is shown in the following table.
