MOBILE COMMUNICATION Eight semester ANNA UNIVERSITY April 2008 PART A---(10*2=20) 1.

In wireless communication system what is cell dragging? 2. If bandwidth = 33*106 Hz and forward and reverse channel bandwidth is 25*103 Hz for a cell size of N=12, calculate the total channels and channel bandwidth for full duplex . 3. For the figure given below calculate the loss due to knife edge diffraction take T=1.11ns.

4. State the effects of multipath propagation. 5. Gaussian low pass filter is used to produce 0.25 GMSK with a channel data rate of 270 kbps. What is the 90% power bandwidth in the RF channel? Specify the Gaussian filter parameter. 6. What is Blue tooth communication? 7. What are Rayleigh and Ricean fading? 8. Differentiate between 2G and 3G systems with respect to multiple access system. 9. GSM frame structure consists of 8 time slots and each has 156 bits and transmission rate is 270.83 kbps. Find how long a user must be occupying a single slot-wait between two successive transmissions. 10. How does cell split improve efficiency of a mobile system? PART B----(5*16=80marks)
