What is the purpose of the GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP)?

  1. To establish and maintain a tunnel between a GPRS network and a packet data network.

  2. To provide authentication and authorization for GPRS users.

  3. To manage the allocation of radio resources for GPRS users.

  4. To provide encryption for GPRS data traffic.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP) is used to establish and maintain a tunnel between a GPRS network and a packet data network. This tunnel is used to carry GPRS data traffic between the two networks.

Which protocol is used to provide authentication and authorization for GPRS users?

  1. PPP

  2. EAP

  3. RADIUS

  4. CHAP


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is used to provide authentication and authorization for GPRS users. EAP allows for a variety of authentication methods, including password-based authentication, token-based authentication, and certificate-based authentication.

What is the role of the GPRS Mobility Management protocol (MM)?

  1. To manage the allocation of radio resources for GPRS users.

  2. To provide authentication and authorization for GPRS users.

  3. To establish and maintain a tunnel between a GPRS network and a packet data network.

  4. To provide encryption for GPRS data traffic.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The GPRS Mobility Management protocol (MM) is responsible for managing the allocation of radio resources for GPRS users. This includes allocating channels for GPRS users, managing handovers between cells, and managing the power levels of GPRS users.

Which protocol is used to provide encryption for GPRS data traffic?

  1. IPsec

  2. SSL

  3. TLS

  4. PPTP


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

IPsec (IP Security) is used to provide encryption for GPRS data traffic. IPsec is a suite of protocols that can be used to secure IP traffic, including traffic between GPRS users and the Internet.

What is the purpose of the GPRS Packet Data Protocol (PDP)?

  1. To provide a connectionless data service for GPRS users.

  2. To provide a connection-oriented data service for GPRS users.

  3. To manage the allocation of radio resources for GPRS users.

  4. To provide encryption for GPRS data traffic.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The GPRS Packet Data Protocol (PDP) is used to provide a connectionless data service for GPRS users. This means that GPRS users can send and receive data packets without having to establish a connection with the network.

Which protocol is used to provide a connection-oriented data service for GPRS users?

  1. PPP

  2. X.25

  3. Frame Relay

  4. ATM


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is used to provide a connection-oriented data service for GPRS users. PPP is a simple protocol that can be used to establish a connection between two devices over a serial link.

What is the purpose of the GPRS Location Update protocol (LU)?

  1. To update the location of a GPRS user to the network.

  2. To provide authentication and authorization for GPRS users.

  3. To manage the allocation of radio resources for GPRS users.

  4. To provide encryption for GPRS data traffic.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The GPRS Location Update protocol (LU) is used to update the location of a GPRS user to the network. This is necessary when a GPRS user moves from one cell to another.

Which protocol is used to manage the allocation of radio resources for GPRS users?

  1. RLC

  2. MAC

  3. PHY

  4. RRC


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

RRC (Radio Resource Control) is used to manage the allocation of radio resources for GPRS users. RRC is a complex protocol that is responsible for a variety of tasks, including allocating channels for GPRS users, managing handovers between cells, and managing the power levels of GPRS users.

What is the purpose of the GPRS Radio Link Control (RLC) protocol?

  1. To provide reliable data transfer over a wireless link.

  2. To provide authentication and authorization for GPRS users.

  3. To manage the allocation of radio resources for GPRS users.

  4. To provide encryption for GPRS data traffic.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The GPRS Radio Link Control (RLC) protocol is used to provide reliable data transfer over a wireless link. RLC is a complex protocol that is responsible for a variety of tasks, including error correction, flow control, and retransmission.

Which protocol is used to provide a physical layer connection between a GPRS user and the network?

  1. RLC

  2. MAC

  3. PHY

  4. RRC


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

PHY (Physical Layer) is used to provide a physical layer connection between a GPRS user and the network. PHY is a complex protocol that is responsible for a variety of tasks, including modulation, demodulation, and error correction.

What is the purpose of the GPRS Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol?

  1. To provide multiple access to the radio channel for GPRS users.

  2. To provide authentication and authorization for GPRS users.

  3. To manage the allocation of radio resources for GPRS users.

  4. To provide encryption for GPRS data traffic.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The GPRS Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is used to provide multiple access to the radio channel for GPRS users. MAC is a complex protocol that is responsible for a variety of tasks, including scheduling transmissions, managing collisions, and providing quality of service.

Which protocol is used to provide authentication and authorization for GPRS users?

  1. PPP

  2. EAP

  3. RADIUS

  4. CHAP


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is used to provide authentication and authorization for GPRS users. EAP allows for a variety of authentication methods, including password-based authentication, token-based authentication, and certificate-based authentication.
