    Power Control (PC) is extremely essential due to the following: - The mobiles transmit simultaneously in time (not in different timeslots like in GSM) - The UTRAN uses often only one frequency, which means that the frequency re-use factor will be 1. - Any inaccuracy in power control immediately increases interference, which then decreases the capacity of the network.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Power control is indeed extremely essential in mobile networks for the reasons mentioned. The fact that mobiles transmit simultaneously in time and the use of only one frequency in UTRAN increases the likelihood of interference. Inaccurate power control can further exacerbate interference, leading to a decrease in network capacity. Therefore, the statement "Power Control (PC) is extremely essential" is true.

    Cell update and routing area updates halt possible reception or sending of data. In such case, there is a possibility of buffering data in the SGSN.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a cell update or routing area update occurs, the mobile device temporarily loses its connection to the network. During this time, it is unable to receive or send data. In order to prevent data loss, the SGSN (Serving GPRS Support Node) can buffer the data until the connection is reestablished. This ensures that no data is lost during the update process. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    For any user exchange of user data and signaling between the UE and the network, the RRC-connected state can be considered a prerequisite.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The RRC-connected state is indeed a prerequisite for the exchange of user data and signaling between the UE (User Equipment) and the network. This state is established when the UE successfully completes the RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection procedure with the network. In this state, the UE is able to transmit and receive data, as well as exchange signaling messages with the network. Without being in the RRC-connected state, the UE would not be able to establish a connection with the network and therefore cannot exchange data or signaling. Hence, the statement is true.

    When a UE changes cells between the different routing areas, it performs a _____.

    • LA Update

    • URA Update

    • RA Update

    • None of the choices

    Correct Answer
    A. RA Update
    Explanation
    When a UE changes cells between different routing areas, it performs a RA Update. A Routing Area (RA) is a group of cells that are managed by a specific Mobility Management Entity (MME). When the UE moves from one RA to another, it needs to inform the network about its new location. This is done through a RA Update procedure, where the UE sends a signaling message to the MME to update its location information. This allows the network to route incoming calls and data to the UE's new location.

    If the scrambling code in the UL is being used by another person in another RNC as the subscriber performs a soft handover, the handover is refused and the SRNC must allocate a new scrambling code to the subscriber.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a subscriber performs a soft handover, it means that they are transferring from one RNC (Radio Network Controller) to another. In this scenario, if the scrambling code in the UL (Uplink) is already being used by another person in the new RNC, the handover is refused. This is because the scrambling code is used to differentiate between different users in the same cell, and it cannot be shared by multiple users simultaneously. Therefore, the SRNC (Serving RNC) must allocate a new scrambling code to the subscriber in order to complete the handover successfully.

    Rate this question:

    In this power control mode, the Node commands the UE either to increase/decrease its transmission power with the pace of 1.5 kHz in the FDD mode. The decision whether to increase or decrease the power is based on the received SIR estimated by the Node B.

    • Outer Loop Power Control

    • Closed Loop Power Control

    • Inner Loop Power Control

    • Open Loop Power Control

    Correct Answer
    A. Closed Loop Power Control
    Explanation
    In closed loop power control, the Node commands the UE to adjust its transmission power based on the received SIR (Signal-to-Interference Ratio) estimated by the Node B. If the received SIR is low, indicating high interference, the Node commands the UE to increase its transmission power. Conversely, if the received SIR is high, indicating low interference, the Node commands the UE to decrease its transmission power. This control loop helps to maintain a consistent and optimal power level for the UE, ensuring efficient and reliable communication in the network.

    The possibility to perform an inter-system handover is enabled in the UMTS by a special functioning mode, ________. When the UE uses Uu interface in the slotted mode, the contents of the Uu interface frame are compressed in order to open a time window, through which the UE is able to peek and decode the GSM BCCH information. Both the WCDMA RAN and GSM BSS must be able to send the identity information of the other on the BCCH and BCH channels to enable the UE to perform the decoding properly.

    • Idle Mode

    • Slotted Mode

    • Standby Mode

    • None of the choices

    Correct Answer
    A. Slotted Mode
    Explanation
    In the UMTS system, the inter-system handover is enabled in the Slotted Mode. This mode allows the UE (User Equipment) to use the Uu interface in a slotted manner, where the contents of the Uu interface frame are compressed to create a time window. This time window allows the UE to peek and decode the GSM BCCH (Broadcast Control Channel) information. In order for this decoding to be successful, both the WCDMA RAN (Radio Access Network) and GSM BSS (Base Station Subsystem) need to send the identity information of the other system on the BCCH and BCH (Broadcast Channel) channels. This enables the UE to properly perform the decoding and facilitate inter-system handover.

    In Cell_DCH (Cell Dedicated Channel) mode/state, a dedicated channel is provided to the subscriber. This means that the UE (User Equipment) has a dedicated connection to the network, allowing for faster and more efficient communication. In this state, the UE is also sending measurement reports to the network, which helps the system control the dedicated bearer (the specific channel being used for communication) and perform handovers (transferring the connection from one cell to another).

    SIR is also called Interference Margin and has a direct relationship with the cell load.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    SIR (Signal-to-Interference Ratio) is a measure of the quality of a wireless signal, specifically the ratio of the desired signal power to the interference power. It is also known as Interference Margin because it represents the amount of interference that can be tolerated before the signal quality deteriorates. The higher the SIR, the better the signal quality and the lower the interference. Therefore, SIR has a direct relationship with the cell load, as a higher cell load can lead to more interference and a lower SIR.

    Interference Margin = 10 * (Log(1/(1-Load_Factor))) where Load_Factor is any number from 0 to 1

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given formula calculates the interference margin based on the load factor. The load factor represents the utilization of a system or network, ranging from 0 to 1. The formula uses logarithmic calculations to determine the interference margin, which is a measure of the system's ability to handle interference. Therefore, the statement "True" indicates that the formula is correct.

    In Release 3, the actions of the packet scheduler are driven by the load control function. The gap between RT traffic and the load target of the cell can be filled by the packet scheduler.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In Release 3, the packet scheduler's actions are determined by the load control function, which means that the packet scheduler adjusts its behavior based on the current load of the cell. This allows the packet scheduler to fill any gaps between the real-time (RT) traffic and the load target of the cell, ensuring that the cell's resources are efficiently utilized. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.

    Channelization codes could change during a connection.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Channelization codes are used in wireless communication systems to separate different users or signals. During a connection, it is possible for the channelization codes to change. This can happen due to various reasons such as interference, network congestion, or optimization of the system. Therefore, the statement "Channelization codes could change during a connection" is true.

    Above Ptx_target + Ptx_offset, Preventive control of LC, AC does not admit new bearers, PS decreases bitrate of NRT

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because when the total transmit power (Ptx_target + Ptx_offset) exceeds a certain threshold, preventive control of load control (LC) and admission control (AC) is activated. This means that new bearers are not admitted, and the power saving (PS) feature decreases the bitrate of non-real-time (NRT) bearers to reduce the overall power consumption.

    Soft and softer handover increases system capacity.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Soft and softer handover refers to the process of transferring a mobile connection from one base station to another without interrupting the call. This type of handover increases system capacity because it allows for better utilization of available resources. By seamlessly transferring the connection between base stations, the network can accommodate more users and provide a smoother and more reliable service. Therefore, the statement "Soft and softer handover increases system capacity" is true.
