a) full-duplex or half-duplex synchronous, asynchronous or synchronous

packet data by circuit switching

b) full-duplex or half-duplex synchronous or asynchronous circuit-switched

data

iii) A GSM service visiting location register registers information of the currently

associated mobile stations

a) the information is about their TMSI, IMSI and MSISDN

b) the information is about their HLR and IMSI

c) the information is about their HLR, IMSI and MSISDN

d) the information is about their HLR and TMSI.

iv) Bluetooth provides

a) connectionless-oriented communication

b) peer-to-peer slave communication within same Pico net with negligible

interference between Pico nets as each uses distinct channel-frequency

hopping sequences

c) Ad-hoc network peer-to-peer communication when two devices are on two

different Pico nets Specifying a scatter net

d) Wireless LAN connectivity.

v) CDMA systems exhibit soft handover due to

a) autocorrelation codes used in each cell transceiver

b) each cell using same spread frequency spectrum

c) negligible narrow band interference and co-channel interference of the

signal

d) Each cell having a distinct pseudo-noise code offset, so that the handover

to the adjacent cell is simply by adding the offset to the mobile terminal
pseudo-noise code.

vi) Modulation of a modulating signal with a very large carrier frequency in wireless
transmission is necessary due to

a) antenna requirements, signal propagating medium properties and need to

multiplex the multiple channels and users at the transmitter

b) smaller antenna size at high frequencies

c) little bending of the beams at high frequencies

d) mobility requirements.

vii) A Cell has

a) one base station which interconnects to mobile devices

b) one base station which interconnects to mobile devices and performs

handover to the neighbouring base station and uses a frequency band

which is distinct from the neighbouring cell

c) one base station and one access point which connects to mobile devices

d) one base station which interconnects to mobile devices and performs

handover to the neighbouring base station and uses a frequency band

which is same as the neighbouring cell to ensure mobility of the device in

another cell.

viii) I. It is energy efficient to use a single code and multiplexing of signals in

time-space.

II. It is energy efficient to use multiple codes of short length and

multiplexing of signals in code-space.

Of these :

a) II is true b) II is true in WCDMA only

c) I is true d) I is true for CDMA 2000 only.

ix) Window CE

a) applications are developed by coding for the interrupt service threads.

b) supports 32 priority level assignments to the threads.

c) provides protection from priority inversion as it provides for priority

inheritance mechanism.

d) assumes event handlers as fundamental units of execution and providing

access of CPU.

x) A mobile device can at best find 6 mobile devices reaching its vicinity. Let there
be FDMA mode of access by a node. Assuming that f bw0 is the bandwidth

requirement between two neighbours, what bandwidth will be needed when all

next hop neighbours communicate in full duplex mode and in same time slots ?
