What is the maximum theoretical capacity of a 5G network?

  1. 10 Gbps

  2. 100 Gbps

  3. 1 Tbps

  4. 10 Tbps


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The maximum theoretical capacity of a 5G network is 10 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than the current 4G networks.

Which of the following factors affects the capacity of a 5G network?

  1. Spectrum bandwidth

  2. Number of antennas

  3. Modulation scheme

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above factors affect the capacity of a 5G network. Spectrum bandwidth determines the amount of data that can be transmitted simultaneously, the number of antennas increases the signal strength and reduces interference, and the modulation scheme determines the efficiency of data transmission.

What is the difference between licensed and unlicensed spectrum in 5G?

  1. Licensed spectrum is allocated to specific operators, while unlicensed spectrum is open to use by anyone.

  2. Licensed spectrum is more expensive than unlicensed spectrum.

  3. Licensed spectrum provides better quality of service than unlicensed spectrum.

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above statements are true. Licensed spectrum is allocated to specific operators through auctions, while unlicensed spectrum is open to use by anyone without a license. Licensed spectrum is generally more expensive than unlicensed spectrum, and it provides better quality of service because it is less congested.

Which spectrum bands are being used for 5G?

  1. Low-band (below 1 GHz)

  2. Mid-band (1-6 GHz)

  3. High-band (above 6 GHz)

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above spectrum bands are being used for 5G. Low-band spectrum provides wide coverage but lower speeds, mid-band spectrum provides a good balance of coverage and speed, and high-band spectrum provides very high speeds but limited coverage.

What is the role of beamforming in 5G networks?

  1. It focuses the signal in a specific direction to improve signal strength and reduce interference.

  2. It increases the number of antennas in a device to improve signal reception.

  3. It reduces the power consumption of a device.

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Beamforming is a technique used in 5G networks to focus the signal in a specific direction to improve signal strength and reduce interference. This is done by using multiple antennas to transmit the signal in a coordinated manner.

Which of the following technologies is used to increase the capacity of 5G networks?

  1. Massive MIMO

  2. Beamforming

  3. Carrier aggregation

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above technologies are used to increase the capacity of 5G networks. Massive MIMO uses multiple antennas to transmit and receive data simultaneously, beamforming focuses the signal in a specific direction to improve signal strength and reduce interference, and carrier aggregation combines multiple spectrum bands to increase the total bandwidth.

What is the relationship between spectrum efficiency and capacity in 5G networks?

  1. Spectrum efficiency is the amount of data that can be transmitted per unit of spectrum bandwidth.

  2. Capacity is the total amount of data that can be transmitted over a given spectrum band.

  3. Spectrum efficiency and capacity are directly proportional to each other.

  4. Spectrum efficiency and capacity are inversely proportional to each other.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Spectrum efficiency and capacity are directly proportional to each other. This means that as spectrum efficiency increases, capacity also increases. This is because spectrum efficiency is a measure of how efficiently the spectrum is being used, and capacity is a measure of the total amount of data that can be transmitted over a given spectrum band.

Which of the following factors can affect the capacity of a 5G network in a negative way?

  1. Interference from other wireless networks

  2. Limited spectrum availability

  3. High latency

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above factors can affect the capacity of a 5G network in a negative way. Interference from other wireless networks can reduce the signal strength and increase the number of errors, limited spectrum availability can restrict the amount of data that can be transmitted, and high latency can cause delays in data transmission.

What is the role of network slicing in 5G networks?

  1. It allows different types of traffic to be isolated from each other.

  2. It improves the overall performance of the network.

  3. It reduces the cost of deploying and operating a 5G network.

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above statements are true. Network slicing allows different types of traffic to be isolated from each other, which can improve the overall performance of the network and reduce the cost of deploying and operating a 5G network.

Which of the following is a key challenge in managing the capacity of 5G networks?

  1. The increasing number of devices connected to the network

  2. The growing demand for high-bandwidth applications

  3. The limited availability of spectrum

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above factors are key challenges in managing the capacity of 5G networks. The increasing number of devices connected to the network, the growing demand for high-bandwidth applications, and the limited availability of spectrum all put a strain on the network's resources.

What is the role of small cells in 5G networks?

Which of the following is a key technology for increasing the capacity of 5G networks in dense urban areas?

  1. Massive MIMO

  2. Beamforming

  3. Carrier aggregation

  4. Small cells


Correct Option: D

Small cells are a key technology for increasing the capacity of 5G networks in dense urban areas. Small cells are low-power, low-range base stations that can be deployed in a variety of locations, such as on streetlights, buildings, and utility poles. They provide additional coverage and capacity in areas with high traffic demand, and they can also help to reduce interference.

What is the role of millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum in 5G networks?

  1. It provides very high speeds and low latency.

  2. It is used for long-range communication.

  3. It is less susceptible to interference than other spectrum bands.

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum is used in 5G networks to provide very high speeds and low latency. It is a high-frequency band that is less susceptible to interference than other spectrum bands, but it has a shorter range and is more easily blocked by obstacles.
