MOBILE COMPUTING
UNIT-1[Important 2 marks]
TWO MARKS.
1. What is mobile computing?
Mobile computing is humancomputer interaction by which a computer is expected to be
transported during normal usage. Mobile computing involves mobile communication,
mobile hardware, and mobile software.
2.List some applications of mobile computing.
Some applications are,
1. Vehicles
2. Emergencies
3. Business
4. Replacement of wired networks
5. Mobile and wireless devices
6. Location dependent devices.

3. What is multiplexing?
Multiplexing is sending multiple signals or streams of information on a carrier at the
same time in the form of a single, complex signal and then recovering the separate signals at
the receiving end.
4. Define time division multiplexing.
A channel gets the whole spectrum for a certain amount of time

5. Define Signal

Physical representation of data function of time and location signal parameters:


parameters representing the value of data
6. Define Analog modulation.
Shifts center frequency of base band signal up to the radio carrier
7. What is digital modulation?
Digital data is translated into an analog signal (baseband) is called Digital
Modulation.
* Differences in spectral efficiency, power efficiency, robustness
8. What is antenna?
Also called an aerial, an antenna is a conductor that can transmit, send and receive
signals such as microwave, radio or satellite signals.
9.What is meant by spread spectrum?
Spread spectrum means spreading the bandwidth needed to transmit data.
10.What are the techniques used in spread spectrum?
Two techniques are used in the spread spectrum. These are,
i.Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum(DSSS)
ii.Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum(FHSS).

MOBILE COMPUTING
UNIT-2[Important 2 marks]

TWO MARKS.
1.What are the system integration functions of MAC management?
Synchronization
Power management
Roaming
Management information base (MIB)
2. Define CDMA.
Code Division Multiple Access systems use codes with certain
characteristics 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 separate this signal
from noise. The good code can be found the following 2 characteristic 1.Orthogonal,
2.AutoCorrelation.
3. What is SDMA?
Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA) 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 (SDM).
4. What is FDD?
In FDMA, the base station and the mobile station establish a duplex
channel. The two directions, mobile station to base station and vice versa are separated
using different frequencies. This Scheme is called Frequency Division Duplex (FDD).
5.Write some techniques of TDMA.

1.Fixed TDM
2.Classical Aloha
3.Slotted Aloha
4.Carrier Sense Multiple Access
5.Demand Assigned Multiple Access
6.PRMA(Packet Reservation Multiple Access)
7.Reservation TDMA
6) What are subsystems in GSM system?
Radio subsystem (RSS)
Network & Switching subsystem (NSS)
Operation subsystem (OSS)
8) What is the function of Medium Access Control Layer?
The functions of Medium Access Control Layer is responsible for
establishes, maintains, and releases channels for higher layers by activating and
deactivating physical channels.

UNIT-3[Important 2 marks]
TWO MARKS.

1)What is mobile routing?

Even if the location of a terminal is known to the system, it still has to


route the traffic through the network to the access point currently responsible
for the wireless terminal. Each time a user moves to a new access point, the
system must reroute traffic. This is known as mobile routing.
2) 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
3) What is Handover?
The satellite is the base station in satellite communication systems and that
itself 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.
4) What is satellite system?
Satellites offer global coverage without wiring costs for base stations and are
almost independent of varying population densities.
5.List out the applications of Satellite system.
Some applications of Satellite system are,
1.Weather Forecasting
2.Radio and TV Broadcast satellites
3.Military Satellites
4.Satellites for Navigation
6.Define Inclination Angle.

Inclination angle is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and the
plane described by the satellite orbit. The Inclination angle is 0 then the satellite exact
above the equator.
7.Define Elevation angle.
An Elevation angle is defined as the angle between the center of the satellite
beam and the plane tangential to the earths surface.
8.What are the four types of satellite orbits?
1.Geostationary Earth Orbit(GEO),
2.Medium Earth Orbit(MEO),
3.Low Earth Orbit(LEO),
4.Highly Eliptical Orbit(HEO).
9.Define Routing.
Routing in satellite system has to route data transmission from one user to
another as any other network.Routing is achieved by two different ways,
1.Satellites offers ISLs,
2.Satellites does not offers ISLs
9.Define Localization
Localization in satellite networks means to locating the users
location.Thegateways of a satellite network maintains several registers.
1.HLR(Home Location Register)
2.VLR(Visitor Location Register)
3.SUMR(Satellite User Mapping Register)

UNIT-4[Important 2 marks]
TWO MARKS.
1)What is adhoc networking?

An ad hoc network typically refers to any set of networks where all devices
have equal status on a network and are free to associate with any other ad hoc network
device in link range
2)What is Mobile IP?
Mobile IP (or MIP) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard
communications protocol that is designed to allow mobile device users to move from
one network to another while maintaining a permanent IP address.
3) What are the requirements for the development of mobile IP standard?
The requirements are:
a.Compatibility b.Transparency c.Scalability and efficiency d.Security
4) Why is need of routing?
Routing is to find the path between source and destination and to forward the
packets appropriately.
5) Define Mobile node:
A mobile node is an end- system or router that can change its point of
attachment to the Internet using mobile IP. The MN keeps its IP address and can
continuously with any other system in the Internet as long as link layer connectivity is
given.
6) What is Encapsulation and Decapsulation?
Encapsulation is the mechanism of taking a packet consisting of packet header
and data and putting it into the data part of a new packet. The reverse operation, taking
a packet out of the data part of another packet, is called decapsulation.
7) What is generic routing Encapsulation?
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is an encapsulation scheme which
supports other network protocols in addition to IP. It allows the encapsulation of
packets of one protocol suite into the payload portion of a packet of another protocol
suite.
