Presentation Guidelines: 1. Prepare a presentation for plates 1 and 2 not exceeding 20 minutes. 2. Only one lucky person will present and defend the group's design plates. 3. 10 combined questions will be asked by the instructor and the panel members. 4. Attire: Formal
Design I: Copper-Based OSP Copper-based OSP (detailed design) to provide telephone service.Number of subscribers in A-900, number of subscribers in B-1800. Supervision limit 1400 ohms, transmission limit not to exceed 5 dB, users may use any commercially available analog phones, inside premises, and BICS/LAN cabling adds 10 ohms. Installation should be aerial. Identify poles, or use new poles(assume right of way is available); 2-gauge resistance design, use commercially available UTP telephone cables (CAT3). Do not use loading coils, repeaters, amplifiers,bridge taps, BORC, etc…in the network. You may or may not use cross connect cabinets. Design II: FOC Transmission FOC outside plant detailed design connect A B C in a SDH ring,underground or aerial or combination. Use commercially available multimode fiber optic cable, short haul or long haul design. Give specs of the telephone you’re going to use, the switch of PBX, the router if needed, and the SDH MUX equipment. Ensure that the equipment selection will work together seamlessly(justify through design topology and equipment specifications). In addition to computing EML and power budgets, you need to also determine the capacity or transmission rate required. Same number of subscribers as Design I, and the traffic generated per subscriber is 0.15 erlangs. Grade of service required is5% using Erlang B distribution. OSP operates SDH, and you may use ISDN/analog POTS/Ethernet/E1-TDM on the client (telephone) side. For this design Site C provides the gateway to the network. You are to design only the outside plant,you are not required to design the building LAN/BICS network– assume it is okay.

General Procedures: 1. Plot the location of the Base Tower stations (BTS) in the street map. 2. Determine all possible cable routes that will connect the given 3stations then consider the shortest route or path. 3. Survey the site locations by measuring the distances between posts of each route. Identify the following information for each post: (a) type of post(b) type of extension arm (c) type of guy (d) exact street location (e) other information deemed relevant on the design 4. Take note of possible improvements that can be suggested such as: (a) poles that are too far from each other (b) poles that are slanted (c) proper guying of pole lines (d) stability of poles5. Gather and arrange all data gathered in the Field Work then compute for the parameters needed for the design. For the POTS Design: 1. Compute the cable resistance based on resistance parameters. Justify the use of two AWG wires based on measured distances. 2. Calculate the total transmission loss. The total loss is acceptable if it is within the transmission limit specified.
For the FOC Design 1. Plot the FOC link from the central office of the base transceiver to another base transceiver stations using ring topology. 2. Identify the transmit power, receiver sensitivity and connector loss of the equipment to be used and also the total number of connectors. 3. Calculate all the significant losses that may affect the power margin of the network such as fiber loss, splicing loss, and connector loss. 4. Calculate for the expected measured loss, power budget and power margin for every link to ensure that the network equipment will work over the installed fiber optic link. 5. Determine the capacity or transmission rate required. 6. Calculate the number of E1 loadings as well as its rate at which it will be incorporated using Erlang B distribution. 7. Check on the following parameters for choosing the appropriate equipments: (a) reliability, (b) Performance issues (c) cost 8. Draw the detailed FOC ring design. Prepare the bill of materials for the design.

WEEK 1 to 4: Completed WEEK 5 to 7: Completed
WEEK 8 to 9: Prepare the draft thesis proposal. Upon submission of the proposal to thesis proposal to the Thesis 1 course instructor, the group will be advised to look for panel members for their oral presentation. Upon submission of the panel members form, the group secures a billing statement prepared by the ECE Program Chairperson and have the fees settled at the Treasury Office. Group submits the photocopy of payments to the Thesis 1 instructor and renders approval to undergo oral presentation. Group prepares the grading form for the panelists. Group prepares a 30-45 minute presentation of their thesis proposal. All thesis proposals must be done at the end of the ninth week of the term only.
WEEK 10: Group submits the revised proposal document based on the recommendations made by the panelists.
