Channel Redundancy Analysis and Bandwidth Utilization in GSM Mobile Communication Network of Uganda

Uganda's Mobile Communication sector is one of the fastest growing in Africa and exhibits second highest internet growth in East Africa. The quantity of versatile mobile users had arrived at 23.24 million (23,249,967) with tele-density of 60 in September 2018 [2], which is about fifty percent portion of the nation's populace (in 2018). This has alarmed the research on the optimum utilization of bandwidth and voice channels used in GSM networks being prevailed in Uganda which are indeed two prominent constraints in mobile communication. The spectrum re-farming seems to be the only possible solution in near future however it additionally has some key difficulties like intricacy of operation and user disturbances. This research paper proposes and exhibits the investigation of Data Interleaving Technique in Mobile Communication in GSM networks of Kampala, Uganda. The simulation results show that significant enhancement of 54.22% in channel utilization and bandwidth optimization is possible with negligible overhead of 0.03%. Consequently it's easily feasible to accommodate more mobile internet users in limited allotted bandwidth and use the limited allotted spectrum efficiently.
