I. The Voice coding rate of TCH/F is 13.6 Kbps. T II. GSM service area is the total area served by the combination of all member countries where a mobile can be serviced. T III. Frequency Re-use in cellular system increases the trunking-gain. T IV. Each MSC has 2 HLRs. F V. A Cell can be divided into many location area. F VI. The RF Channel Spacing in GSM is 300 KHz. F VII. The mobile subscriber personal identification number stored in SIM. T VIII. VLR is a permanent data base . F IX. Each Frequency is divided in to 8 half rate time slot. F X. Sectorisation of cells reduces co-channel interference. T XI. Frequency division duplexing dose not allow continuous transmission. F XII.
