Questions and Answers

What is the Air-interface in a mobile system?

  • A type of frequency spectrum modulation
  • The central interface of every mobile system (correct)
  • A standardized protocol for mobile devices
  • A technology used only for CDMA systems

Why is the Air-interface important for the quality and success of a new mobile standard?

  • Because it is the only interface specified in the beginning
  • Due to its impact on the physical characteristics of the system (correct)
  • As it determines the device's battery life
  • Since it is responsible for frequency spectrum allocation

Study Notes

The Air-Interface of GSM

  • The Air-interface is the central interface of every mobile system and the only one to which a customer is typically exposed.
  • The physical characteristics of the Air-interface are crucial for the quality and success of a new mobile standard.
  • In some mobile systems, such as IS-95 (the standard for CDMA), only the Air-interface was specified initially.
  • Despite differences in GSM, the Air-interface has received special attention due to its importance in efficient frequency usage, particularly in the context of limited available frequency spectrum for new services.
