.
B. Discuss how Channels will be allotted for the cells in rural and urband areas
(Ref: T1, Exercise 3.1 Pg. No: 62)

3. Define basic elements of the wireless communication architecture and discuss the
steps involved in the setup of a call to a mobile initiated by a landline user with the
help of timing diagram.
