K1 = Spectrum Value 

K1 = Spectrum Value 

K2 = Area Factor / Type of service 

K2 = Area Factor / Type of service 

K3 = Amount of spectrum in KHz 

K3 = Amount of spectrum in KHz 

Cost =  Cf  + Ef 

Cf  =  27.825 * D * N 

Ef  =  (A + 50 N) * Y 

Cost =  Cf  + Ef 

Cf  =  27.825 * 20 

D = 20 Km or 40 Km 

Ef  =  (250+50N) * Y

A =  150  If  Output Power > 5 W 

=  250  If  Output Power > 5 W 

N =  No. of  channels 

Y =  No. of   equipment 

Cost = N  *  Delta.f  * Cf  + N * Cp 

Cf  = frequency charge per kHz

Cp = power charges 

Delta.f  = Bandwidth 

N = No. of channels per base station 

Cost =  K * B 

Cost =  K * B

K = number of transmitter 

K = number of transmitter 

B = time coefficient of radio spectrum 

B = time coefficient of radio spectrum
