Q1.
Define Mobile Computing
Mobile computing is a technology that allows data, voice, and video transmission through wireless
devices.
It enables users to access data from any location.
Devices include smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
It improves flexibility and productivity.
Mobile computing is not bound by physical locations.
It uses wireless networks like Wi-Fi, 4G, and Bluetooth.
Q2. Explain the different concepts required for mobile computing
Key concepts include mobility, wireless communication, and portability.
Mobility allows devices to move while connected.
Wireless communication enables data transfer without cables.
Portability means devices can be carried easily.
Synchronization helps maintain up-to-date data.
Security ensures safe data transmission.
Q3. What is host mobility?
Host mobility means a device can move from one network to another.
It stays connected while changing its physical location.
The IP address may change during movement.
It is important for seamless communication.
Examples include smartphones switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
It ensures service continuity.
Q4. Write two general issues of mobile computing
1. Security - Wireless networks are more vulnerable to attacks.
2. Connectivity - Signal strength may vary in different locations.
Other issues include power consumption and limited bandwidth.
Q5. Give one example with explanation of fixed wireless technology of mobile computing
Example: WiMAX
WiMAX provides high-speed internet in fixed locations.
It uses towers to transmit signals to homes or offices.
It does not need physical cables.
It supports broadband speeds over long distances.
Q6. Define user interface in case of mobile computing architecture
User interface (UI) is how users interact with a device.
In mobile computing, UI must be simple and responsive.
It includes touchscreens, voice input, and gestures.
UI should work well on small screens.
It helps users access apps and features easily.
Q7. Write two forms of wireless telephony
1. Cellular Telephony - Uses mobile networks like 3G, 4G, 5G.
2. Cordless Telephony - Uses short-range radio signals for home phones.
Both allow wireless voice communication.
Q8. What are the general applications of telephony
Used in making voice and video calls.
Helps in messaging (SMS, MMS).
Used in internet access and data transfer.
Supports business communication.
Essential in emergency services.
Q9. Define multiplexing technique
Multiplexing allows multiple signals to share one communication channel.
It increases efficiency of data transmission.
Types include FDM, TDM, and CDM.
It reduces cost and optimizes bandwidth usage.
Used in telecommunication and data networks.
Q10. GSM 900 using 935-960 MHz uplink frequency...
Uplink range: 935 to 960 MHz = 25 MHz
Each channel uses 200 kHz.
Total channels = 150
Total bandwidth = 150 × 200 kHz = 30,000 kHz = 30 MHz
So, 30 MHz total frequency is required.
