Duration: 3 hours Max. Marks: 100

Note: i) Answer any TWO full questions from UNIT I, any TWO full questions from
UNIT II and any ONE full question from UNIT III.
ii) Missing data may be suitably assumed wherever necessary with justification.
UNIT I
1 a) a. State the need for RTS/CTS exchange.
b. Comment on the statement, “802.11 can also use fragmentation to help
avoid interference”.
c. Explain with diagram RTS/CTS with fragmentation. (08 marks)

b) Suppose an 802.11g station is configured for ‘NOT reserving’ the channel

with the RTS/CTS sequence. Suppose this station suddenly wants to transmit
14,000 bytes of data, and all other stations are idle at this time. As a function
of SIFS and DIFS, and ignoring propagation delay and assuming no bit errors,
calculate the time required to transmit the frame and receive the
acknowledgment. (06 marks)
Given the following data: The frame excluding the data is 34 bytes long, and
the ACK frame is 14 bytes, the DIFS = 50 µs and SIFS = 10 µs.
c) a. Discuss generic stream cipher operation. State the purpose of using
pseudorandom number generator (PRNG).
b. State why XOR operation is used for encryption. (06 marks)
2 a) Describe the role of beacons in 802.11 WLAN. Write the filter to extract the
following frames:
a. Association request
b. Reassociation request
c. Probe request
d. Disassociation (06 marks)
e. Authentication
b) Explain with diagram the purpose of four address fields in 802.11 frame. (06 marks)

c) Explain with diagram the generic 802.11 MAC frame. Write the filter to
extract the three different types of frames, assuming the (08 marks)
“WLAN_802.11.pcap” file is given.
3 a) Explain the diagram the four different interframe spaces in 802.11 WLAN. (08 marks)
b) a. What is an SSID?
b. Discuss Independent and infrastructure Basic Service Set (BSS). (06 marks)
c) Illustrate with diagram WEP Data Processing operations for both encryption
and decryption. State the IP address to be provided, to configure the AP for (06 marks)
WEP enabling.
UNIT II
4 a) Compute the diffraction loss for the knife edge diffraction scenario assuming f (08 marks)
= 900MHz, d1=1km, d2=1km and h= -25m. Identify the Fresnel zone within
which the tip of the obstruction lies.

 b) If the SNR of a wireless communication link is 20dB and the RF bandwidth is (06 marks)
30kHz, determine the maximum theoretical data rate that can be transmitted.
c) If a total of 60MHz of bandwidth is allocated to particular FDD cellular
telephone system which uses two 25 KHz simplex channels to provide full
duplex voice and control channels, compute the number of channels available
per cell if a system uses (06 marks)
i. Four cell reuse ii. Seven cell reuse iii. 12-cell reuse
5 a) Explain the ground reflection (Two ray) Model using the method of images. (06 marks)
b) A sinusoidal modulating signal m(t) = 20cos(2 π 4x103t), is applied to an FM
modulator that has a frequency deviation constant gain of 10kHz/V.
Compute the
a. peak frequency deviation
b. frequency modulation index (08 marks)
c) State the need for channel assignment strategies. Describe the different types (06 marks)
of channel assignment strategies.
6 a) A cellular service provider decides to use TDMA scheme that can tolerate a (06 marks)
signal-to-interference ratio of 16dB in worst case. Find the optimum value of
cluster size N in case of path loss exponent n = 4.
b) Define Brewster angle. Calculate the Brewster angle for a wave impinging on (06 marks)
ground having a permittivity of 7.51.
c) Explain the cellular concept. Define the following terms:
a. Footprint (08 marks)
b. Cell
c. Cluster
d. Cluster size
e. Frequency reuse factor

UNIT III

7 a) Explain with diagram MIDlet lifecycle. Write a sample code for FirstMIDlet (08 marks)
which includes at least three state of a MIDlet.

b) Write note on Connected Device Configuration (CDC). (06 marks)

c) Write note on provisioning a MIDP application. (06 marks)

8 a) Explain with diagram the five states in Player’s lifecycle. Write a sample (08 marks)
snippet that shows the transition through all five states.

b) Describe the functions of any six subclasses of Items UI element in MIDP. (06 marks)

c) Describe the Record Management System in J2ME. (06 marks)
