What is the maximum data rate supported by EDGE?

  1. 384 kbps

  2. 1.4 Mbps

  3. 2.9 Mbps

  4. 5.8 Mbps


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

EDGE supports a maximum data rate of 384 kbps, which is significantly faster than GPRS.

Which modulation technique is used in EDGE?

  1. Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK)

  2. Phase Shift Keying (PSK)

  3. Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM)

  4. Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

EDGE uses Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) as its modulation technique.

What is the difference between EDGE and GPRS?

  1. EDGE uses a higher modulation scheme than GPRS.

  2. EDGE has a shorter slot time than GPRS.

  3. EDGE supports more users per cell than GPRS.

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

EDGE uses a higher modulation scheme, has a shorter slot time, and supports more users per cell than GPRS.

What is the role of the EDGE Control Channel (ECCH)?

  1. It carries signaling information for the EDGE network.

  2. It transmits data packets to and from the mobile device.

  3. It manages the power levels of the mobile device.

  4. It synchronizes the mobile device with the network.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The EDGE Control Channel (ECCH) carries signaling information for the EDGE network, such as cell selection, handover, and power control.

What is the role of the EDGE Traffic Channel (ETCH)?

  1. It carries signaling information for the EDGE network.

  2. It transmits data packets to and from the mobile device.

  3. It manages the power levels of the mobile device.

  4. It synchronizes the mobile device with the network.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The EDGE Traffic Channel (ETCH) transmits data packets to and from the mobile device.

What is the maximum spectral efficiency of EDGE?

  1. 0.5 bits/s/Hz

  2. 1.0 bits/s/Hz

What is the future of EDGE technology?

  1. EDGE will be replaced by 3G and 4G technologies.

  2. EDGE will continue to be used in rural areas where 3G and 4G are not available.

  3. EDGE will be used in niche applications such as machine-to-machine (M2M) communications.

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

EDGE will be replaced by 3G and 4G technologies in most areas, but it will continue to be used in rural areas where 3G and 4G are not available. EDGE will also be used in niche applications such as machine-to-machine (M2M) communications.
