radiation belts?5. What is the altitude of LEO satellites?6. Calculate the latency of signal for GEO satellite.7. Name one advantage of LEO satellite systems.8. Name one disadvantage of MEO satellite Systems.9. What is Iridium?10. What is ISL?

Page 3: Moble Communication

Part A Q1 Answers:

1. GEO is 35,786KM2. Each satellite can cover a certain area on earth with its beam called

footprint.3. Elevation angle is defined as the angle between the center of the satellite

beam and the plane tangential to the earth’s surface.4. Van Allen Radiation belts consists of ionized particles, at heights of about

2000-6000 km and about 15,000-30,000 Km make satellite communication very difficult in these orbits.

5. LEO satellites have altitudes in the range of 500-1500Km6. 35,786 / 3,00,000 = 120ms RTT = 240ms7. Advantages of LEO: Low transmit power, higher bandwidth, low delay,

smaller footprint, better reuse of frequency, better global coverage.8. Disadvantage of MEO: Increased delay ( 70-80ms), high transmit power,

require special antennas for smaller footprints.9. Iridium system is a constellation of 77 satellites ( Iridium atom has 77

electrons) for Global satellite communication.10. ISL is Intersatellite Links with which satellites can communicate directly

with each other.

Page 5: Moble Communication

Part A Q2: Answers

1. SUMR: Satellite User Mapping Register stores current position of satellites and mapping of each user to the current satellite through which communication with a user is possible.

2. Gateway Handover: While the mobile user and satellite might still have good contact, the satellite might mover away from the current gateway. The satellite has to connect to another gateway.

3. Advantage of MEO Satellite System: Requires less number of satellites ( around 12) to give global coverage, Simpler system design due to slow moving satellites, MEO can cover larger populations, requires fewer handovers.

4. Disadvantage of LEO satellite System: Requires large number of satellites ( 50-200) for global coverage, Short time of visibility requires more handover, High complexity, Short lifetime of satellites, Requires routing of data packets from satellite to satellite.

5. Advantage of ISL: Reduces delay, reduces the number of gateways needed on earth.

Page 6: Moble Communication

Answer Part A Q2

6. Define Inclination angle of a satellite: is defined as the angle between equatorial plane and the plane described by the satellite orbit.

7. GPS stands for Global Positioning System used for precise localization worldwide.

8. An equation which can be used for calculating distance of the satellite from the earth using its frequency of rotation.

9. Advantage of GEO satellite system: Three GEO satellites are enough for global coverage, Senders and receivers can use fixed antenna positions, Life time expectation of GEOs are high, GEOs don’t need any handover, GEOS don’t exhibit any Doppler shift.

10. Disadvantage of GEO satellite system: Northern or southern regions of the earth have more problems due to low elevation angle. Shading of signals in cities due to high buildings, Transmission power needed is high, High latency of .25 s. Large footprints mean frequencies cannot be reused.

Page 16: Moble Communication

Answers: Part B Q5

1. The GSM tele services: encrypted voice transmission, message service and basic data communication. ( Telephony, Emergency Number, SMS, group3 fax)

2. GSM supplementary services: user identification, call redirection, forwarding of ongoing calls, closed user groups, multi-party communication.

3. The three subsystems of GSM system: Radio Subsystem (RSS), Network and Switching Subsystem (NSS), and Operation Subsystem (OSS).

4. Functional architecture diagram of GSM system( Next Slide)5. The function of Base Transceiver station: A BTS comprises of

all radio equipment( antenna, signal processing and amplifiers) necessary for radio transmission. A BTS can form a radio cell, or several cells using sectorized antennas.

Page 17: Moble Communication

Answers Part B Q5

6. The function of Home Location Register(HLR): HLR is the most important database in the GSM System, as it stores all user-relevant information. This consists of static information such as Mobile subscriber ISDN number, subscribed services, the IMSI. Dynamic information also such as Current location area of the MS, the Mobile Subscriber Roaming Number, and the current VLR and MSC.

7. The function of Visitor Location Register (VLR): VLR is associated with each MSC is a dynamic database which stores all important information needed for the MS users currently in the LA that is associated with MSC.( IMSI, MSISDN, HLR address).

8. The use of Equipment Identity Register (EIR): EIR is a databse for all IMEI;s ie., it stores all device identifications registered for this network. EIR has a blacklist of stolen ( or locked) devices. EIR also contains a list of valid IMEIs and list of malfunctioning devices ( white and gray lists).

9. Comfort noise: During periods of silence, the physical layer generates a comfort noise to fake a connection as complete silence can confuse a user, but no actual transmission takes place. The noise is even adapted to the current background noise at the communication partner’s location.

Page 21: Moble Communication

Answers: Part C Q6

1. Handover Margin is a threshold used by BSC to decide on the handover. It includes some hysteresis to avoid ping pong effect.

2. The two basic reasons for Handover in GSM: The mobile moves out of the range of a BTS or a certain antenna of a BTS. The MSC may decide that the traffic in one cell is too high and shoft some MS to other cells for load balancing.

3. Draw a message flow diagram for Mobile Terminated Call (MTC).( See next Slide)

4. The four possible Handover scenerios in GSM: Intra-cell, Inter-cell intra-BSC, Inter-BSC intra-MSC, Inter MSC

Page 22: Moble Communication

Answer Part C Q6

5. GSM subscriber authenticated using SIM, which stores the individual authentication key Ki, the user Identification IMSI, and algorithm used for authentication A3. Authentication uses Challenge-response method.

6. The data rates offered by GSM is 9.6Kbps and GPRS is 171Kbps ( max)

7. QoS-Profile of a GPRS user determines the service precedence, reliability class and delay class of transmission and user data throughput.

8. The new network elements introduced by GPRS: GGSN, SGSN9. The use of GPRS Register (GR)10. RTTs in GPRS are more than Fixed Networks. The delay

within GPRS network is incurred by channel access delay, coding for error correction, and transfer delays in the fixed and wireless part of the GPRS network.
