Selected multiple-choice questions for Mobile Communications

1. Why are waves with a very low frequency not used for data transmission in computer
networks?
A
They require large antennas, have lower bandwidth and are difficult to manage in cells
and frequency reuse schemes
B
They require small antennas and have higher bandwidth
C
They do not penetrate material
2. Is it possible to transmit a digital signal, e.g., coded as square wave as used inside a
computer, using radio transmission without any loss?
A
Yes lossless transmission of square wave-coded signals is common
B
No, since lossless transmission of analogue signals is not possible and, in addition, square
waves need to be represented by infinite sine waves for transmission
C
No, since we cannot produce square wave-coded digital signals
3. What are the main reasons for using cellular systems?
A
The main reasons are to support many users, low power and localization
B
The main reason is profit maximization for service providers
C
The main reasons are user localization and frequency reuse
4. Hidden terminals in Aloha
A
Do not exist, as the scheme prevents their existence
B
Wait for a network signal to start transmission
C
Do not care about other terminals and may cause collisions
5. Considering duplex channels, what are alternatives for implementation in wireless
networks?
A
Wireless networks can use different frequencies, different time slots or even different
codes to implement duplex channels
B
Wireless networks can use different frequencies to implement duplex channels
C
Wireless networks can use different time slots to implement duplex channels
6. In TDMA, interference happens if
A
Senders transmit data at the same time
B
Senders do not transmit data at the same time
C
Senders transmit data at the same frequency
7. In FDMA, interference happens if
A
Senders transmit data using non-orthogonal codes
B
Senders transmit data at the same frequency
C
Senders transmit data at the same time
8. In CDMA, interference happens if
A
Senders transmit data at the same time

Senders transmit data using non-orthogonal codes
C
Senders transmit data at the same frequency

B
Packet-switched
C
Both circuit and packet switched
14. Main reasons for a handover in GSM are
A
Weak signal in cell and heavy cell load
B
Heavy cell load
C
Mobile station moves from cell to cell
15. GPRS needs the following parts of a typical GSM
A
Does not need any part of GSM
B
The packet-switched core for data transmission
C
The circuit-switched core for localization and authentication
16. Trunked radio systems are attractive to authorities and disaster relief teams
A
Because of special features like very fast connection setup, group calls, paging, reliable
and fast messaging and ad-hoc capabilities
B
Because they are cheap implementations of GSM
C
Because of cheap equipment
17. IMT-2000 / 3G systems operate at
