1. N-AMPS provides three users in a 30 kHz amps channel by using fdma and 10khz channels.

Thus providing three times the capacity of amps. 2.To provide fairly high speed wireless communications to support multimedia dat a and video in addition to voice. 3.SAT(supervisory audio tone) , ST(signalling tone) and maybe VMAC(Voice Mobile Attenuation Code) 4.In AMPS,the nonwireline and wireline service provider are assigned a system id entification number(SID) pair. the sid is txed every .8 seconds on each FCC alon g with the overhead data which reports the status of the cellular system. In ETACS, area identification number(AID) is used instead of SID. 5.ETACS was developed in mid 1980's and it is scaled to fit in 25 khz channels u sed in europe. the maximim deviation in FM demodulator is +/- 10 khz. 6.directed retry:wen a new call request arrives from PSTN or a subscriber and al l of the voice channels are occupied, then the msg will hold the PSTN line open while instructing thr current base station to borrow channels from another base station. SAT:there are three SAT signals of frequencies 5970,6000,6030 hz. A gn BS will c onstantly tx one of these three tones wen it is in use. ST:ST is a 10 kbps data burst which signals call termination by the subscriber. VMAC:the BS assigns the subscriber unit VMAC as it moves the call to the voice c hannel. It instructs the subscriber unit to tx at a specific power level. blank and Burst encoding:allows the MSC to to send bursty data on the voice chan nel by temporarily omitting the speech and SAT, and replacing them with data. 7.the postdeviation limiter filter contains an attenuation of 40 log(f/3000) dB for 3kHz-5,9kHz and 6.1kHz-15kHz. In the intermediate, the attn is 28 dB. Above 15 kHz, attn is >28dB. It ensures that the specifications on limitations of emis sion outside the specified band are met,and that the SAT do not interfere with t he call. 8.I think it is first generation HO since it is not MAHO. 9.there is 3-5% blocked calls normally and 10% blocking during extremely heavy t raffic conditions.So, AMPS does not follow Erlang B. 10.FDMA,FDD,30kHz channel BW,1 traffic channel per RF channel, 824-849MHz revers e channel freq,869-894 forward channel freq, FM voice modulation, +/-12 khz peak deviation in voice channels, +/-8kHz peak deviation in control/wideband data, 1 0kbps data rate, 0.33 bps/Hz spectral efficiency, totally 832 channels. 11.USDC has twice as many control channels as AMPS, so double the amount of cont rol traffic channel can be paged throughout the market. 12.USDC is also known as North American Digital Cellular(NADC),Digital AMPS(D-AM PS). NADC offers nearly six times capacity as AMPS. It uses 45 MHz FDD scheme. 13.To maintain compatibility with AMPS phones, USDC forward and reverse control channels use exactly the same signalling techniques as AMPS. 14.DTC:Digital Traffic Channel which carries user info

CDVCC:12 bit msg sent in every time slot, fn similar to SAT. SACCH:sent in every time slot, provides a signalling channel parallel with the d igital speech. reports the signal strength measurements of neighbouring base sta tions for MAHO. FACCH:used to send important control or specialized traffic data.it allows carri ers to handle traffic intrenal to the celllular network if DTC is idle. 15.MAHO 16.refer page 545 in rappaport. 17.i dunno. 18.interleaver mixes class 2 and class 1 bits. each time slot contains exactly h alf of the data from each of the two sequentioal sppech coder frames. 19.the bit error rate due to ISI becomes intolerable in symbol rate of 24.3kbps. so, equaliztion is mandtory to reduce BER. Decision Feedback Equalizer is used in USDC. 20.GSM, IS 136(USDC), PDC, IS-95 21. it permits the integration of different voice and data services and the inte rworking with existing networks telephone services, bearer or data services and supplementary services. teleservices include std mobile telephony and mobile or base originated traf fic. data services include computer to computer comm and packet switched traffic. 22.Subscriber Identity Module(SIM), stores subscribe's id no, netwrks ies subscriber is entitled to service, privacy tags and user specific criber uses the SIM with a 4 digit personal id no to activate service MoU is signed for sharing of cryptographic algo and other proprietary ountries and carriers 23. BSS, BASE STATION SUBSYSTEM NSS, NETWORK AND SWITCHING SUBSYSTEM OSS, OPERATION SUPPORT SUBSYSTEM 24.it manages the switching fns of the system and allows the MSCs to communicate with other networks such as the PSTN, ISDN. 25.abis interface connects a base transceiver station to a base station controll er. a interface connects BSC AND MSC. 26.Dummy burst is used as filer information for unused time slots on the forward link 27.1 multiframe = 26 TDMA frames 1 superframe = 51 multiframes and countr info. subs from GSM. info btw c

1 hyperframe = 2048 syperframes 28.A3 and A5. A3 is used to authenticate eacb mobile by verifying the user pass code within the SIM with the cryptographic key at the MSC.A5 provides scrambling for the 114 coded datat bit sent in each TS. 29.it adds binary data to the ciphered blockes in order to help synchronization and equalization. 30.call, data, sms 31. a interface uses an SS7 prococol called SCCP which supports communiction bet ween the MSC and BSS, as well as network msgs btw individual subscribers and teh MSC. 32.hlr contains subscriber info and location info for each user who resides in t he same city as the MSC. each subscriber has IMSI and this no is used to identif y each home user. vlr is a temp database which stores the IMSI and customer information for each r oaming subscriber who is visiting the coverage area of the MSC. AUC is a strongly protected database which handles the authenticaton and encrypt ion keys for every single subscriber in the hlr and vlr. it contains a register called EIR which identifies stolen or fraudulently altered phones which tx ident ity data that doesn't match with info contained in hlr or vlr. 33.Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Numbers denotes a frwd and reverse channel p air separated by 45 Mhz and each channel is time shard btw as many as 8 subscri bers using TDMA. 34.BCH operates in the forward link of ARFCN and tx data only in the first time slot(TS0) of certain GSM frames. contains bcch,fcch,sch on the Bch arfcn , the ccch occupy ts0 of every gsm frame that is not otherwise used by the bch or the idle frame. contains pch, rach, agch dcch are bidirectional and follow same format and fn on boht forward and reverse links. types are sdcch, sacch, facch. 35.refer page 562 in rappaport 36.i dunno 37. slow FH is implemented to combat the multipath or interference effects in th at cell. 38.i dunno 39.refer page 556 in rappaport 40.refer page 555 in rappaport P.S.: FOR UNKNOWN ANSWERS AND WRONG ANSWERS, PEOPLE, PLEASE COMMENT RATHER THAN EDITTING.
