Q.5) Depending upon functionality, how physical layer is split into two
parts?
Answer. The physical layer has been separated into two distinct sub-layers
defined by their functions:
1. Physical RF layer performs modulation of the physical waveforms based on
the sequence of bits received from physical link layer and demodulation of
received waveforms into a sequence of bits which are transferred to the
physical link layer for interpretation.
2. Physical link layer provides services for information transfer over a physical
channel between the MS and the network. These functions include data unit
framing, data coding, and the detection and correction of physical medium
transmission errors. This layer uses the services of the physical RF layer.
