This document outlines the questions for the first assignment of a Mobile Computing course. It includes questions about spread spectrum techniques like DSSS and FHSS, signal propagation effects, analog and digital modulation, the electromagnetic spectrum, multiple access techniques like SDMA, FDMA, TDMA and CDMA, minimum shift keying, CPM schemes, delay spread, guard spaces, dwell time, intersymbol interference, cellular network design, frequency division duplexing, and industrial, scientific and medical radio bands. The assignment requires understanding and comparison of key concepts in mobile communications.
