 ANSWER KEY:

Unit-III

1. a) More number of operating channels

Explanation: To be economically feasible, a satellite must be capable of handling
several channels. As a result, most satellites contain multiple transponders, each
operating at a different frequency. Each transponder represents an individual
communication channel.
2. a GPS
Explanation: The global positioning system (GPS) is a network of satellites and
receiving devices used to determine the location of something on Earth. Some GPS
receivers are so accurate they can establish their location within 1 centimetre (0.4
inches).
GPS receivers provide location in latitude, longitude, and altitude. They also provide
the accurate time.
3. d Overcrowding is through a satellite rather than phone lines
Explanation: Most new communication satellites will operate in the Ku band. This
upward shift in frequency is happening because the C band is overcrowded. Many
communication satellites are in orbit now, most of them operating in the C band.
However, there is some difficulty with interference because of the heavy usage. The
only way this interference will be minimized is to shift all future satellite
communication to higher frequencies.
4. a MF
Explanation: MF is a lower frequency band than Ku, C and X bands and does not lie in
the microwave spectrum. Microwaves are used for satellite communication since the
lower bands get reflected by the ionosphere.
5. b Wireless Local Area Network
6. d AMPS
Explanation: AMPS is a standard of first-generation network. HIPERLAN is a WLAN
standard developed in Europe in mid 1990s. HIPERLAN/2 is also developed in Europe
that provides up to 54 Mbps of user data.
7. d IEEE 802.11b
Explanation: IEEE 802.11b was a high rate standard approved in 1999. It provided
new data rate capabilities of 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps in addition to the original 2 Mbps and
1 Mbps user rates of IEEE 802.11.
8. a FHSS and DSSS
Explanation: Original IEEE 802.11 used both the approaches of FHSS (Frequency

Mbps, as well as time bounded messaging of rates of 64 kbps to 2.048 Mbps. It uses
5.2 GHz and 17.1 GHz frequency bands.
11. d HIPERLAN/2
 Explanation: HIPERLAN/2 has emerged as the next generation European WLAN
standard. It provides upto 54 Mbps of user data to a variety of networks. The networks
include the ATM backbone, IP based networks and the UMTS network.
12. b Wireless Internet Service Provider
Explanation: A wireless Internet service provider (WISP) is an Internet
service provider with a network based on wireless networking.
13. C OSI
Explanation: The DECT system is based on OSI (Open System Interconnection)
principles in a manner similar to ISDN. A control plane (C-plane) and a user plane (U-
plane) use the services provided by the lower layers.
14. c. Data link control layer
Explanation: The DLC (data link control) layer is responsible for providing reliable data
links to the network layer. It divides up the logical and physical channels into time slots for

15. a CDMA
Explanation: Although UMTS is designed to operate on evolved GSM core networks, it
uses code division multiple access (CDMA) for its air interface. The majority of the 3G
systems in operation employ CDMA, while the rest use TDMA. CDMA allows various
users to share a channel at the same time, while TDMA allows users to share the same
channel by chopping it into different time slots
16. c IS-95
Explanation: UMTS assures backward compatibility with the second generation GSM, IS-
136 and PDC TDMA technologies. It is also compatible with all 2.5G TDMA techniques
like GPRS and EDGE. But it does not provide compatibility to CDMA technologies of 2G
and 2.5 G. IS-95 is a CDMA standard of 2G
17. b 3.84 Mcps
18. a 5 MHz
Explanation: W-CDMA/UMTS requires a minimum spectrum allocation of 5 MHz. Using
this bandwidth, it has the capacity to carry over 100 simultaneous voice calls. It is able to
carry data at speeds up to 2 Mbps in its original format. 20 MHz is the bandwidth defined
for LTE. CdmaOne uses a bandwidth of 1.25 MHz. GSM’s bandwidth is 200 KHz.
19. d Six times

between 2 and 5 Mbps
25. a Concatenated Location Registration
26. a Hard handover only
27. d. Increase storage and computational load on system.
Explanation: Dynamic channel assignment requires the MSC to collect real time data on
channel occupancy, traffic distribution and RSSI of all channels on continuous basis. This
increases the storage and computational load on the system but provides the advantage of
increased channel utilization and decreased probability of blocked call.
28. a. A mobile moves into a different cell while ln conversation.
29. c. Dwell time.
Explanation: The time over which a call is maintained within a cell without handoff is
called as dwell time. Dwell time vary depending on speed of user and type of radio
coverage. They include propagation, interference, distance between the subscriber and the
base station, and other time varying effects.
30. b. Mobile assisted handoff .
31. c. Mobile moves from one cellular system to another cellular system.
32. d. Cells using same frequency.
Explanation: Due to frequency reuse concept, there are several cells that use the same set of
frequencies. These cells are called co-channel cells. And the interference between these cells
is called co-channel interference.
33. b. Q=O/R.
Explanation: Co-channel reuse ratio is defined by Q=D/R. By increasing the ratio of D/R, the
spatial separation between co-channel cells relative to the coverage distance of a cell is
increased. Thus, interference I reduced from improved isolation of RF energy from the co-
channel cells.
34. a.Individual, individual.
35. .c. One.
Explanation: The FDMA channel carries one phone circuit at a time. Each individual band
or channel is wide enough to accommodate the signal spectra of the transmissions to be
propagated.
36. d. Large, low.
Explanation: The symbol time of a narrowband signal is large as compared to the
average delay spread. This implies that the amount of intersymbol interference is low
and, thus, little or no equalization is required in FDMA narrowband systems.
37.b. lower call site system cost.
38. d AMPS.
39. a. Address.
Explanation: TDMA frame is made up of a preamble, an information message and the
trail bits. In a TDMA frame, the preamble contains the address and synchronization
information that both the base station and the subscribers use to identify each other.
40. c. Guard bits.
