Q81.
What is intra-cell/inter-pool handoff?

a.

Same spectrum pool and same base-station

b.

Same spectrum pool and different base-station

c.

Different spectrum pool and different base-station

d.

Different spectrum pool and same base-station

Discuss
Answer: (d).Different spectrum pool and same base-station Explanation:When an xG user switches from one spectrum pool to another spectrum pool within a single cell coverage area, it is termed as intra-cell/inter-pool handoff. The is no transfer from serving base-station to the neighbour base-station. A Cell is a unit of coverage area. Spectrum pool is a set of contiguous licensed spectrum bands.
Q82.
Prediction of availability of channels can mitigate sensing delay.

a.

True

b.

False

c.

May be True or False

d.

Can't say

Discuss
Answer: (a).True Explanation:Target channel selection relies on channel capacity, availability of channel during handoff, and availability of channel in the future. Prediction of channel availability reduces sensing delay since partial sensing is performed instead of conventional sensing. Accuracy is improved due to the integration of historical spectrum statistics.
Q83.
What is a non-handoff?

a.

xG user selects a channel from the unlicensed band

b.

xG user selects a channel in the licensed spectrum band

c.

xG user removes another user in the unlicensed band

d.

xG user eliminates a primary user in the unlicensed band

Discuss
Answer: (b).xG user selects a channel in the licensed spectrum band Explanation:Spectrum handoff is the process of changing the spectrum band and modifying the communication parameters to suit the selected spectrum band. In the non-handoff method, the xG users select an unused spectrum in the licensed band which is temporarily unoccupied by the primary user. The disadvantage of this method is the high waiting latency.
Q84.
What is reactive handoff?

a.

xG user performs sensing and sensing is performed before the triggering event

b.

xG user performs sensing and sensing is performed after triggering event

c.

Primary user performs sensing and sensing is performed before the triggering event

d.

Primary user performs sensing and sensing is performed after triggering event

Discuss
Answer: (b).xG user performs sensing and sensing is performed after triggering event Explanation:In the reactive handoff, the xG user begins to sense for available spectrum bands for handoff only after the triggering event. The advantage of this method is that the best available spectrum band is selected. However this method exhibits longer handoff latency.
Q85.
Which among the following is a disadvantage of proactive handoff?

a.

High latency

b.

Increased number of handoffs

c.

Prior planning

d.

Unused saved channels

Discuss
Answer: (d).Unused saved channels Explanation:In the proactive handoff, the xG user continues to sense during transmission, and the handoff is carried out prior to the triggering event. Low handoff latency is observed and multiple handoffs are reduced. The disadvantage of this method is the lack of usage of back up channels and degradation of performance due to poor sensing.
Q86.
Which among the following is a challenge for spectrum mobility in the time domain?

a.

QoS maintenance

b.

Cooperative sensing

c.

Interference temperature measurement

d.

Reconfiguration

Discuss
Answer: (a).QoS maintenance Explanation:xG networks change constantly in the wireless spectrum in accordance with the available spectrum band. The available spectrum bands tend to vary with time. Thus QoS maintenance becomes difficult. The radio should alter its position to meet the QoS requirements.
Q87.
Which among the following should be adapted in spectrum mobility management?

a.

Single-layer approach

b.

Double layer approach

c.

Cross-layer approach

d.

Alternate layer approach

Discuss
Answer: (c).Cross-layer approach Explanation:Spectrum handoff depends on the spectrum environment as well as the application requirements. By choosing a cross-layer approach, the operational overhead among the functionalities is reduced. This increases the switching time.
Q88.
Which among the following method is suitable for delay-sensitive application?

a.

Reactive handoff

b.

Proactive handoff

c.

Non-handoff

d.

High handoff

Discuss
Answer: (b).Proactive handoff Explanation:In the proactive handoff, the xG user continues to sense during transmission, and the handoff is carried out prior to the triggering event. In reactive handoff, the xG user begins to sense for other bands only after the triggering event. Proactive handoff is suitable for delay-sensitive application.
Q89.
Which among the following is influenced by spectrum switching time?

a.

Transmit time

b.

Access time

c.

Recovery time

d.

Sensing time

Discuss
Answer: (c).Recovery time Explanation:Spectrum switching time depends on hardware as well as the algorithms used for spectrum sensing, spectrum decision, link layer, and routing. The spectrum switching time caused by spectrum mobility increases the recovery time.
Q90.
Why is inter-cell handoff required?

a.

To support spectrum mobility in time domain

b.

To support spectrum mobility in frequency domain

c.

To support spectrum mobility in the phase domain

d.

To support spectrum mobility in space domain

Discuss
Answer: (d).To support spectrum mobility in space domain Explanation:When xG users move from one cell to another, the available spectrum bands change. This demands the development of inter-cell handoff. It also demands continuous allocation of spectrum.
