To increase the capacity of AMPS, Motorola developed ____________(a) P-AMPS(b) N-AMPS(c) H-APMS(d) R-AMPSI got this question in a national level competition.The query is from AMPS and ETACS in section Wireless Systems and Standards of Wireless/Mobile

Answer»

Right answer is (b) N-AMPS

To explain: To increase capacity in large AMPS MARKETS, Motorola developed an AMPS LIKE system called N-AMPS (narrowband AMPS) in 1991. N-AMPS did not become WIDESPREAD as 2G digital technologies displaced MANY of the original FM analog systems.

Answer»

Right option is (b) Network layer

The best I can explain: The network layer is the main signalling layer of DECT. It is based on GSM and ISDN (layer 3) protocols. It PROVIDES call control and CIRCUIT SWITCHED services selected from one of the DLC services.

57.

CT2 was the first generation of cordless telephones.(a) True(b) FalseI have been asked this question in an interview for internship.This key question is from CDMA Digital Cellular Standard (IS-95) in chapter Wireless Systems and Standards of Wireless/Mobile

Answer»

Correct option is (B) False

The explanation is: CT2 was the second generation of cordless telephones introduced in Great Britain in 1989. It is USED to provide telepoint services which ALLOW a subscriber to USE CT2 HANDSETS at a public telepoint.

58.

USDC forward and reverse control channels use exactly the same signalling techniques as AMPS.(a) True(b) FalseI have been asked this question during an online exam.The question is from United States Digital Cellular (IS-54 and IS-136) in chapter Wireless Systems and Standards of Wireless/Mobile

Answer»

Right choice is (a) True

Explanation: To MAINTAIN COMPATIBILITY with AMPS phones, USDC forward and reverse control channels USE exactly the same signalling techniques as AMPS. USDC VOICE channels use 4-ary π/4 DQPSK MODULATION with a channel rate of 48.6 kbps.

59.

IS-95 uses same modulation technique for forward and reverse channel.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was posed to me in semester exam.Origin of the question is CDMA Digital Cellular Standard (IS-95) topic in division Wireless Systems and Standards of Wireless/Mobile

Answer»

Correct option is (b) False

To explain I would SAY: IS-95 uses different modulation and spreading technique for the forward and reverse LINKS. On the forward link, the BASE station simultaneously transmits the user DATA for all mobiles in the cell by using different spreading sequence for each mobile.

60.

Which of the following channel in USDC is used to send important control or specialized traffic data between the base station and mobile units?(a) DTC(b) CVDCC(c) SACCH(d) FACCHI have been asked this question in an interview for internship.My question comes from United States Digital Cellular (IS-54 and IS-136) in division Wireless Systems and Standards of Wireless/Mobile

Answer»

The correct answer is (d) FACCH

To EXPLAIN I would say: FACCH (fast associated control channel) is used to send IMPORTANT control or specialized traffic data between the BASE station and mobile units. The FACCH data, when transmitted, TAKES the PLACE of user information data within a frame.

61.
