Unsolved DCC QB

1. The document contains answers to 8 questions about data communication concepts such as defining data, components of data communication, protocols, bandwidth, baud rate, communication modes, analog vs digital signals, and network architectures. 2. Key concepts explained include that data is any important information that is measured, collected, and analyzed; the 5 components needed for data communication; the differences between protocols, bandwidth, and baud rate; the three communication modes; and differences between analog and digital signals. 3.

DCC Q.

BANK ANSWERS
Unit 1

Q.1: Define Data. Explain in brief.

→
1. Data is nothing but any important information.
2. Data is measured, collected and reported, and analyzed, whereupon it is
often visualized using graphs, images or other analysis tools.
3. It can be generated by Humans, Machines or by the combination of both.
4. Data is extremely important as it helps in making netter decisions, solving
problems by finding the reason for underperformance and even evaluating
the performance.
5. Data has many types such as numerical data, categorical data, audio data,
video data, etc.

Q.2: List out the components of data communication & explain them one by one.

→
1. Sender
Any device that is capable of sending data.
2. Receiver
Any device that is capable of receiving data.
3. Message
Data to be communicated by sender or receiver.
4. Transmission medium
It is the path by which the message travels from sender to receiver. It can be
wired or wireless.
5. Protocol
Set of rules used by sender and receiver to communicate data

Q.3: What is Protocol, Bandwidth & Baud Rate.

→
1. Protocol
Standards provide guidelines to the particular software system. Protocols
have syntax, timings and semantics. It has two standards- De facto & De jure.
DCC Q. BANK ANSWERS
2. Bandwidth
Bandwidth can be measured as the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
occupied by the signal. It is measured in bits per second (bps) in digital signal
and frequency (Hz) in analog signals.
3. Baud Rate
It is the rate of signal speed, i.e:- the rate at which the signal changes. Digital
signals with 0’s and 1’s.

Q.4: What are the modes of communication. Explain them all.

→
1. Simplex

• One sends, one receives.


• Data flow is unidirectional.
• Ex. CPU transmits, Monitor receives.

2. Half Duplex

• Both can transmit and receive signal but not at the same time.
• When one is sending, other can only receive and vice-versa.
• Data flow is bidirectional but the direction can be reversed only after a
certain amount of time. OR
Data is unidirectional at any given point of time.
• Ex. Walkie-Talkie.

3. Full Duplex
DCC Q. BANK ANSWERS

• Both can send and receive signals at the same time.


• Data flow is birectional.
• Ex. WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, etc.

Q.5: Differentiate between Analog & Digital signal.

Analog Signal Digital Signal


Analog signal is a continuous signal in A digital signal is a signal that is used to
which one time-varying quantity represent data as a sequence of
represents another time-based separate values at any point in time.
variable.
Analog Signal works on continuous Digital signals are time separated
data. signals.
In Analog signals, bandwidth is In Digital signals, bandwidth is
measured in frequency (Hz). measured in bits per second (bps).

Q.6: Explain LAN, MAN & WAN in brief.

→
1. Local Area Network (LAN)
DCC Q. BANK ANSWERS

• The LAN is designed to connect multiple network devices and systems


within a limited geographical distance.
• The devices are connected using multiple protocols for properly and
efficiently exchanging data and services.

2. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

• The MAN is a network type that covers the network connection of an


entire city or connection a small area.
• The area covered by the network area is connected using wired
network like data cables.
• The MAN network is made up of several LAN networks.

3. Wide Area Network (WAN)


DCC Q. BANK ANSWERS
• The WAN is designed to connect devices over large distances like states
or countries.
• The connection is wireless in most cases and uses radio towers for
communication.
• The WAN network is made up of multiple LAN and MAN networks.

Q,7: Explain Peer-to-Peer network architecture.

• The peers here referred to are individual computers linked together directly
having equal responsibilities and equal power without the presence of any
central authority. This is also called as decentralised architecture. Each
computer has special rights for resource sharing.
• Since no particular device is a server or client, the tasks and responsibilities
are equally distributed among the devices. This also makes it difficult to
backup data and much less secure.
• Such a network architecture, though simple to setup and maintain, shows
low performance if the number of peers is increased.

Q.8: Explain Client & Server network architecture.

→
DCC Q. BANK ANSWERS

• This is also known as centralised architecture. Since a powerful central


computer is available to serve all the requests from the client computer. The
central device is called ‘server’ and the client computer connects to the
server to share data and resources.
• This type of network architecture is secure since the server handles
important tasks like security and network administration as well as has a
good backup as all the data is stored in the server.
• A major disadvantage of this computer is that if the server fails, then all
machines fail to perform tasks since the central authority is integral to keep
the network afloat. It also is more expensive to setup than the peer-to-peer
network model.
