Mobile TCP protocol
What is mobile TCP? Explain the methods for testing mobile applications.[10]
Mobile TCP refers to the adaptation and optimization of the standard TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) to work effectively in mobile and wireless network environments where traditional TCP performs poorly. Standard TCP was designed for wired networks with...
Full solved answer →Frequency spectrum and allocation
Define frequency spectrum. Compare 2G, 3G and 4G. [5]
The frequency spectrum is the range of frequencies available for wireless communication, typically measured in Hertz (Hz). It represents the electromagnetic frequencies allocated by regulatory authorities for different communication services such as mobile ...
Full solved answer →Define frequency spectrum. How do you acquire location data? [5]
Frequency spectrum is the representation of a signal in the frequency domain, showing the amplitude (or power) of each frequency component present in a signal. Key characteristics: - It displays how the energy or power of a signal is distributed across diff...
Full solved answer →WAP proxies and gateways
Explain about WAP proxies and gateways. [5]
WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) proxies and gateways are intermediary servers that act as bridges between mobile devices and internet content servers. They translate, compress, and optimize data for transmission over wireless networks with limited bandw...
Full solved answer →GSM and CDMA technologies
What is mobile IP network? Differentiate between GSM and CDMA. [5]
Mobile IP is a protocol that allows mobile devices (mobile nodes) to maintain continuous network connectivity and seamless communication while moving between different networks or subnets. Key characteristics: - Enables a mobile device to keep the same IP a...
Full solved answer →2G, 3G, and 4G comparison
