    The transmitted packet size in RLC can vary according to the transmitted bit rate.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In the Radio Link Control (RLC) protocol, the transmitted packet size can indeed vary based on the transmitted bit rate. This means that the size of the packets being sent over the radio link can change depending on the rate at which the data is being transmitted. This flexibility allows for efficient data transmission by adjusting the packet size to match the available bandwidth and optimize the overall performance of the communication system.

    A resource block in LTE has

    • A duration of 1 ms and a bandwidth of 180 kHz

    • A duration of 2 ms and a bandwidth of 5 MHz

    Correct Answer
    A. A duration of 1 ms and a bandwidth of 180 kHz
    Explanation
    The resource block in LTE has a duration of 1 ms and a bandwidth of 180 kHz. This means that within a time period of 1 ms, a total of 180 kHz of frequency spectrum is allocated for transmission. This allows for efficient allocation of resources and enables multiple users to share the available bandwidth.

    Suppose that an LTE mobile is in RRC_CONNECTED state. This mobile can transmit uplink data when it is in 

    • OUT_OF_SYNC state

    • IN_SYNC state

    Correct Answer
    A. IN_SYNC state
    Explanation
    When an LTE mobile is in the RRC_CONNECTED state, it means that it is connected to the LTE network and has established a radio link with the base station. In this state, the mobile is synchronized with the network and is able to transmit uplink data. Therefore, the correct answer is "IN_SYNC state".

    Sounding reference signals  are used to support

    • Uplink channel-dependent scheduling

    • Downlink channel-dependent scheduling

    Correct Answer
    A. Uplink channel-dependent scheduling
    Explanation
    Sounding reference signals are used to support uplink channel-dependent scheduling. These signals are sent by the user equipment (UE) to the base station (BS) to provide information about the channel conditions. The BS can then use this information to determine the optimal scheduling of uplink resources for each UE. By using uplink channel-dependent scheduling, the BS can allocate resources more efficiently, improving the overall performance of the uplink transmission.

    The layer in the radio access network that is responsible of IP header compression is

    • Physical Layer (PHY)

    • Packet data convergence protocol (PDCP)

    • Radio-Link Control (RLC)

    • Medium Access Control (MAC)

    Correct Answer
    A. Packet data convergence protocol (PDCP)
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Packet data convergence protocol (PDCP). PDCP is responsible for compressing the IP header in the radio access network.
