10. Which of the following techniques do not help in expanding the

capacity of cellular system?
a) Sectoring
b) Scattering
c) Splitting
d) Microcell zone concept

Answer: b
Explanation: As the demand for wireless service increases, the number
of channels assigned to a call eventually becomes insufficient to support
the required number of user. Techniques such as cell splitting, sectoring
and coverage zone approaches are used in practice to expand the capacity
of cellular system.

11. Which of the following technology distributes the coverage of the cell
and extends the cell boundary to hard-to-reach places?
a) Cell splitting
b) Scattering
c) Sectoring
d) Micro cell zone concept

Answer: d
Explanation: Micro cell zone concept distributes the coverage of the cell
and extends the cell boundary to hard-to reach places. It is the solution for
the problem of increased number of handoffs when sectoring which
results in an increase of load on switching.

12. Which of the following trunking inefficiencies?

a) Cell splitting
b) Micro cell zone technique
c) Sectoring
d) Repeaters

Answer: c
Explanation: Sectored cells experience trunking inefficiencies. Cell
splitting and zone micro cell techniques do not suffer the trunking
inefficiencies experienced by sectored cells. They enable the base station
to oversee all handoff chores related to microcells, thus reducing the
computational load at MSC.

13. Cell splitting allows a system to grow by replacing large cells with
bigger cells.
a) True
b) False

Answer: b
Explanation: Cell splitting allows a system to grow by replacing large
cells with smaller cells. It does not upset the channel allocation scheme
required to maintain the minimum co channel reuse ratio Q between co-
channel cells.

14. Which of the following technique is used to limit radio coverage of

newly formed microcells?
a) Sectoring
b) Splitting
c) Antenna downtilting
d) Scattering

Answer: c
Explanation: Antenna downtilting deliberately focuses radiated energy
from the base station toward the ground (rather than toward the horizon).
It is often used to limit the radio coverage of newly formed microcells.

15. Sectoring increases SIR (Signal to Interference Ratio).

a) True
b) False

Answer: a
Explanation: Sectoring increases SIR so that cluster size may be reduced.
SIR is improved using directional antenna. And then capacity
improvement is achieved by reducing the number of cells in a cluster,
thus increasing the frequency reuse.

16. Which of the following has range extension capability?

a) Sectoring
b) Repeaters
c) Scattering
d) Micro cell zone concept

Answer: b
Explanation: Wireless operator needs to provide dedicated coverage for
hard-to-reach areas, such as within buildings, or in valleys or tunnels.
Radio transmitters used to provide such range extension capabilities are
called as repeaters. They are bidirectional in nature.

17. Repeaters has one drawback of reradiating ____________

a) Frequency
b) Channels
c) Power
d) Repeater noise and interference

Answer: d
Explanation: Upon receiving signals from a base station forward link, the
repeater amplifies and reradiates the base station signals to the specific
coverage region. Unfortunately, the received noise and interference is
also reradiated by repeater on both the forward and reverse link.
18. Which of the following is not an advantage of micro cell zone
technique?
a) Reduced co channel interference
b) Improved signal quality
c) Increase in capacity
d) Increasing number of base stations

Answer: d
Explanation: The advantage of the zone cell technique is that co-channel
interference in the cellular system is reduced since a large central base
station is replaced by several low powered transmitters on the edges of
the cell. Thus, signal quality is reduced and it leads to an increase in
capacity.

19. In a micro cell zone concept, when a mobile travels from one zone to
another within the cell, it retains the same _________
a) Power level
b) Base station
c) Channel
d) Receiver

Answer: c
Explanation: As a mobile travels from one zone to another within the cell,
it retains the same channel. Thus, unlike in sectoring, a handoff is not
required at the MSC when the mobile travels between zones within the
cell. The channels are re used in co channel cells in a normal fashion.

Multiplexing (OFDM) into sub bands, it diminishes effects of
__________

c) Near far effect
d) Reduce total carried traffic

Answer: d

Explanation: Guard channel is a concept for handling priority in handoff.

Here, a fraction of the total available channels in a cell is reserved
exclusively for handoff requests from ongoing calls. This method has the
disadvantage of reducing the total carried traffic, as fewer channels are
allocated to originating calls.

frequency among several servers without undue interference among them.
In other words, it optimizes the overall use of the available bandwidth as it
transmits over the entire frequency range.

communication technology. It allows the users to use the same frequency
without interference. In the TDMA (or Time Division Multiple Access),
time is divided into several required time slots that are in the fixed patterns.
So the correct answer will be B.

subscriber and the base station, and other time varying effects.

90. Co-channel reuse ratio is defined by _________

a) Q=D*R

b) Q=D/R

c) Q=D^R

d) Q=1/R

Answer: b

Explanation: Co-channel reuse ratio is defined by Q=D/R. By increasing

the ratio of D/R, the spatial separation between co-channel cells relative
to the coverage distance of a cell is increased. Thus, interference I
reduced from improved isolation of RF energy from the co-channel cells.
 91. The time over which a call can be maintained within a cell
without handoff is called _________
a) Run time
b) Peak time
c) Dwell time
d) Cell time

a) N=10

b) N=100

c) N=1

d) N=50

Answer: c

a) Power transmitted by Base station

b) MSCs

c) Same frequency of mobile users

d) Imperfect receiver filters

Answer: d

Explanation: Interference resulting from signals which are adjacent in

frequency to the desired signal is called adjacent channel interference. It
results from imperfect receiver filters which allow nearby frequencies to
leak into the passband.

94. The term _________ refers to transporting a mobile station from one
base station to another base station.

a. Roamer

b. Forward channel

c. Handoff or hand over

d. MIN

referred to as one of the main functions of the Forward Voice Channel
(FVC). However, the Forward Voice Channel and Reverse Voice
Channel both are responsible for voice transmission. The Forward Voice
channel is used for transmission of voice form base stations to mobiles,
while on the other hand, the Reverse voice channel is used for voice
transmission form mobiles to base stations.

probability of forced termination of a call due to lack of available
channels?
 a) Queuing

b) Guard channel

c) Cell dragging

d) Near far effect

Answer: a

Explanation: Queuing of handoff requests is a method to decrease the

probability of forced termination of a call due to lack of available
channels. Queuing of handoff is possible due to the fact that there is a
finite time interval between the time the received signal level drops below
the handoff threshold and the time the call is terminated.

99. Which of the following is associated with the handoff in first

generation analog cellular systems?
