B.E III Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering
ETR6C2 : Mobile & Wireless Communication

Duration: 3 Hrs Max Marks: 60

Note: There are 5 questions. In each question attempt any two from a, b & c. Take
suitable assumptions if needed.

Q.1 a) Explain about the classification of wireless networks based on the coverage 6
area.
b) What you understand by the multiple access techniques used in wireless 6
communication, explain it in detail. Also explain different multiple access
schemes used in wireless communication.
c) Describe about the spread spectrum modulation. 6

Q.2 a) Describe the small scale fading concept and the reasons due to which this 6
fading happens. Find the mathematical expression for it.
b) A receiver is with noise power −140 dBm within the signal bandwidth of 6
interest. Assume a simplified path-loss model with d0 = 1 m, fc = 1 GHz, and
path loss exponent γ = 3. For a transmit power of Pt = 10 mW, find the
maximum distance between the transmitter and receiver such that the received
signal-to-noise power ratio is 20 dB.
c) Explain how to mitigate the effects of fading. 6

Q.3 a) Cellular system concept is based on frequency reuse, explain this concept. 6
Also explain the advantages and challenges that has to be tackled in such
system.
b) Cell splitting and sectoring are the methods to improve system capacity, 6
explain them
c) Consider a TDMA cellular system with hexagonally shaped cells and 6
with path-loss exponent γ = 2.4 for all signal propagation in the system. Find
the minimum reuse factor N needed for a target SIR of 10 dB, and find the
corresponding user capacity assuming a total system bandwidth of 20 MHz
and a required signal band-width of 110 kHz.

Q.4 a) Taking an example that your friend is somewhere in roaming condition 6

explain the GSM system architecture and its working.
b) Explain the GSM frame architecture along with bit loading in it. 6
c) Discuss the concept of CDMA technique. Also explain the difference 6
between IS-95A and WCDMA?

Q.5 a) The cellular system has evolved from 2G to 3G and to 4G. Explain this 6
evolution procedure in terms of suitable diagrams and explanation.
b) Explain the overview of IP and mobile IP concept. 6
c) Describe about the generalized wireless system. 6
