Chapt 4 beyond 3G
Mobile communication refers to basic voice and SMS services of early generations, while modern
mobile communication includes high-speed, multi-functional services like 4G/5G, enabling internet,
IoT, and advanced applications.
Frequency reuse is a method in mobile networks where the same frequencies are used in different
areas (called cells) that are spaced far enough apart. This prevents interference between cells and
allows more users to share the limited frequency spectrum efficiently.
Spread spectrum is a technique in wireless communication where a signal's frequency is spread over
a wide range of frequencies to reduce interference, improve security, and increase resistance to
noise. Common methods include Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) and Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS).
4) handoff stratergy ?
Handoff strategy in mobile communication refers to the process of transferring an ongoing call or
data session from one cell or base station to another as a user moves, ensuring uninterrupted
service. Strategies include:
1. Hard Handoff: The connection is broken with the current cell before connecting to the new
cell.
2. Soft Handoff: The connection with the new cell is established before disconnecting from the
current cell.
3. Horizontal Handoff: Handoff occurs between cells in the same network technology (e.g., 4G
to 4G).
4. Vertical Handoff: Handoff occurs between different network technologies (e.g., 4G to Wi-Fi).
The choice depends on factors like network type, signal strength, and mobility.
5) what is reference model of mobile communication ?
The reference model of mobile communication outlines the key layers and components for
communication between mobile devices and networks. It is often based on the OSI model but
adapted for mobile systems. A simplified view includes:

Mobile IP is a protocol that allows mobile devices to maintain a continuous internet connection
while moving between different networks. It uses a Home Address (permanent IP) and a Care-of
Address (temporary IP) when the device moves to a new network. The Home Agent in the home
network tracks the device's location and forwards data to the new address, ensuring uninterrupted
communication.
7) routing optimization ?
Routing optimization is the process of improving the efficiency and performance of routing in a
network. It involves selecting the best possible paths for data packets to travel from source to
destination, reducing delays, avoiding network congestion, and making the best use of available
resources like bandwidth. This ensures faster, more reliable communication with minimal resource
waste.

The I (In-phase) and Q (Quadrature) signals are components of a modulated signal used in
communication systems. Here's their role in transmission and reception:
In Transmission:
1. I Signal (In-phase):
o Carries one part of the information using a cosine wave as the carrier.
2. Q Signal (Quadrature):
o Carries the second part of the information using a sine wave, which is 90°
out of phase with the cosine wave.
These two components are combined to form the final modulated signal, allowing the
transmission of two independent data streams over the same frequency.
In Reception:
