Course Outcomes: After studying this course, students will be able to:

1. Understand the Communication theory both Physical and networking associated with GSM, CDMA & LTE 4G systems.
2. Explain concepts of propagation mechanisms like Reflection, Diffraction, Scattering in wireless channels.
3. Develop a scheme for idle mode, call set up, call progress handling and call tear down in a GSM cellular network.
4. Develop a scheme for idle mode, call set up, call progress handling and call tear down in a CDMA cellular network.
5. Understand the Basic operations ofAir interface in a LTE 4G system.

Question paper pattern:

Examination will be conducted for 100 marks with question paper containing 10 full questions, each of 20 marks.
Each 1 question can have a maximum of 4 sub questions.
There will be 2 full questions from each module covering all the topics of the module.
Students will have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
The total marks will be proportionally reduced to 60 marks as SEE marks is 60.
