Max. : 50 Marks
Note:

Write the examination using blue or black pen

Draw neat sketch with pencil (if necessary)
Use tables or charts (if necessary)
Answer all questions
Part A
(Answer for each question carries 2 Marks)

1. Quote the formulae for calculating distance in frequency reuse

The reuse distance D is calculated by using the formule
D=R3n
Where R=Freeequency Reuse
N=Number of cells
2. Define EY-NMPA in HiperLAN.
Elimination-yield non-preemptive priority multiple access (EY-NPMA)

EY-NPMA is a contention based

EY-NPMA provides excellent support for different classes of traffic
regarding
Provides quality of service
Demonstrates very low collision rates.

3. Discuss about the services provide by supplementary services in GSM ?

*

User identification
Call redirection
Call forwarding
Closed user groups
Multiparty Communication

4. Describe the types of handover in mobile communication.

Intra-cell handover

Inter-cell, intra- BSC handover

Inter-BSC, intra-MSC handover

Inter MSC handover

5. Formulate the behavior of data transmitted over the network in traffic engineering.
Method of optimizing the performance of a telecommunication
Regulating the behavior of data transmitted over that network.
A=h
-mean rate of calls attempted per unit time h
h-mean holding time per successful call
A -average number of calls arriving during average holding period, for normalized
6. List the primary goals of IEEE 802.11?

simple, robust
time bounded
asynchronous services

7. Define scatternet in Bluetooth.

A scatternet is a number of interconnected piconets

communication between more than 8 devices.
elects to participate
acts as a slave in a second
separate piconet.

8. Describe the informations in SIM.

Card type, serial no, list of subscribed services

Personal Identity Number(PIN)

Pin Unlocking Key(PUK)

An Authentication Key(KI)

9. Show the differences between adhoc and infrastructure networks

Infrastructure-based wireless networks:
Communication takes place only between the wireless nodes and the access point,
not directly between the wireless nodes.
Ad-hoc wireless networks:
Communication takes place directly with other nodes
