Cs2402 - Mobile and Pervasive Computing Unit 1: Ans: Advantages

Wireless communication involves the transfer of information over a distance without wires. It allows spanning distances beyond cabling capabilities, avoiding physical obstacles, and providing backup links. Challenges include limited resources, unstable channels, interference, and mobility issues. Wireless networks include personal area networks, local area networks, metropolitan area networks, and wide area networks. Cellular systems provide advantages like higher capacity, less transmission power needed, and more robust decentralized networks.

CS2402 MOBILE AND PERVASIVE COMPUTING

UNIT 1
1. What is wireless communication?
Wireless communication is the transfer of information over a distance without the use
of electrical conductors or wires The distance involved may be short , long
2. What are the uses of wireless Technology?
To span a distance beyond the capabilities of typical cabling
To avoid obstacles such as physical structures
To provide a backup communication link in case of normal network failure
To overcome situations where normal cabling is difficult or financially impractical.
3. What are the challenges in wireless communication?
Very limited resources
Unstable channel characteristics
Multi- user Interference
Line of sight for frequencies
Mobility issues
4. List the type of wireless networks
Personal area networks
Local area networks
Metropolitan area networks
Wire area networks.
5. List out the advantage of cellular system.
Ans: Advantages:
. Higher capacity, higher number of users
. Less transmission power needed
. More robust, decentralized
. Base station deals with interference, transmission area etc. locally
6. What is a signal ?
signals are the physical representation of data.
The users of a communication system can only exchange data through the
transmission of signals.
Signals are functions of time and location.
Signal parameters : Parameters representing the value of data.
Signal parameter of periodic signal Period T frequency f = 1/T amplitude A
7. List out the types of multiplexing?
Space Division Multiplexing
Frequency Division Multiplexing
Time Division Multiplexing
Code Division Multiplexing
8. Define CDMA ?
Code Division Multiple Access systems use codes with certain characteristic to
separate different users. To enable access to the shared medium without interference. The
users use the same frequency and time to transmit data. The main problem is to find good
codes and to seprate this signal from noise. The good code can be found by two
characteristics
1. orthogonal 2. auto correlation.
9. What is SDMA ?
Space Division Multiple Access is used for allocating separated spaces to
users in wireless Networks. The basis for the SDMA algorithm is formed by cells
and sectorized antennas which constitute the infrastructure implementing space
division multiplexing .
10.What is Handover?
The satellite is the base station in satellite communication systems and that it self is
moving. So, additional instance of handover are necessary due to the movement of the
satellite
1.Intra Satellite handover.
2.Inter Satellite handover.
3.Gateway handover.
4.Inter System handover.
11. What are the four types of handover available in GSM?
1.Intra cell Handover
2.Inter cell Intra BSC Handover
3.Inter BSC Intra MSC handover
4.Inter MSC Handover

12.What are the categories of Mobile services?
Bearer services
Tele services
Supplementary services
13.What are the services provided by supplementary services?
User identification
Call redirection
Call forwarding
Closed user groups
Multiparty Communication
14.What is meant by GPRS?
The General Packet Radio Service provides packet mode transfer for applications
that exhibit traffic patterns such as frequent transmission of small volumes.
15.What are subsystems in GSM system?
Radio subsystem(RSS)
Network & Switching subsystem(NSS)
Operation subsystem(OSS)
16. What are the information in SIM?
card type, serial no, list of subscribed services
Personal Identity Number(PIN)
Pin Unlocking Key(PUK)
An Authentication Key(KI)
17. Differentiate hard and soft handoff.
Hard Hand - Off
Occurs in GSM
Available in FDD / TDD modes
Inter frequency handover, Inter system handover
Soft Hand - Off
Occurs in UMTS
Available only in FDD mode
Macro diversity
18. What are the disadvantages of small cells?
Disadvantages of Small cells:



19. Differentiate analog modulation and digital modulation.
Analog Modulation
i)AM is able to continuously change the amplitude, frequency, or phase of the
carrier.
ii) Is to send computer information over transmission channels that require
analog
signals, like a fiber optic networks, computer modems, cellular phone
networks, and satellite systems.
Digital Modulation
i) There are only discrete values of these attributes that correspond to digital
codes.
ii) A digital signal can be transmitted over a dedicated connection between
two or
more users.
20. What is polling?
Where one station is to be heard by all others(e.g., the base station of a mobile
phone network or any other dedicated station),polling schemes (known from the
mainframe/terminal world) can be applied .Polling is a strictly centralized scheme
with one master station and several slave stations.
