Assignment Questions on Module-4 and Module-5

Module-4

1. Asynchronous and Synchronous transmission


A video conferencing application needs to transmit large amounts of data in real-time, ensuring
synchronization between the sender and receiver. Explain whether synchronous or asynchronous
transmission would be more suitable for this scenario. Justify your answer.

2. Error Detection
a. Compare CRC with simpler error detection techniques like parity checking. Under what
conditions would CRC be preferred over parity checks? Explain your reasoning with
examples.
b. CRC is often used to verify the integrity of files during compression and decompression
(e.g., in ZIP files). Explain how CRC is applied in file compression utilities and why it is
effective in detecting file corruption.

3. Error Correction
A category of error detecting (and correcting) code, called the Hamming code, is a code in
which dmin = 3. This code can detect up to two errors (or correct one single error). In this
code, the values of n, k, and r are related as: n=2r−1 and k=n−r. Find the number of bits in
the data word and the code words if r is 3

4. Flow control Techniques


a. A network printer receives print jobs from multiple users in an office. The
communication between the computers and the printer is regulated using Stop-and-
Wait Flow Control. Explain how Stop-and-Wait flow control ensures that the printer
does not get overwhelmed with too many print jobs at once. How does it manage the
rate at which documents are sent?
b. Autonomous vehicles collect and send large amounts of data (e.g., sensor data,
location, etc.) to a central control center using Sliding Window Flow Control over a
wireless network. Explain how Sliding Window flow control efficiently manages the
flow of data from the vehicles to the control center, preventing packet loss and
congestion.

5. Error Control Techniques


a. In a wireless video streaming service, the server sends a continuous stream of video
packets to clients. Occasionally, due to interference, some packets are lost or arrive out of
order. How would the Go-Back-N protocol handle packet loss during video
transmission? What happens to the successfully transmitted packets after a lost packet?
b. A high-speed video conferencing application is running over an internet connection that
experiences occasional packet loss. The protocol used for communication is Selective
Reject ARQ. Explain how Selective Reject ARQ handles packet loss in this scenario.
How does it ensure that only the lost packets are retransmitted?
c. A user is downloading a large file from a server located in a different city, over a slow
and unreliable internet connection using Stop-and-Wait ARQ. Explain how Stop-and-
Wait ARQ would handle packet loss during this file download. What happens if an
acknowledgment (ACK) is lost?

Module-5
1. Multiplexing and introduction
a. In a city, multiple television channels are broadcasted simultaneously over a single
frequency band using a technique called multiplexing.
i. Explain how multiplexing allows multiple TV channels to share the same
frequency without interference. What types of multiplexing might be used in this
scenario?
ii. Discuss the advantages of using multiplexing in television broadcasting. How
does it improve the efficiency of the frequency spectrum?
iii. What challenges might arise in the multiplexing process during peak viewing
times when many channels are being accessed simultaneously?

2. Frequency Division Multiplexing


a. Explain how interference is managed in an FDM system. What measures can be taken
to prevent adjacent channel interference, and how does this affect overall system
performance?
b. Frequency Division Multiplexing is commonly used in radio and television
broadcasting. Explain how FDM enables multiple radio or TV stations to broadcast
simultaneously over the same medium without interfering with each other.

3. Time Division Multiplexing


a. Synchronous TDM & Statistical TDM
i. Suppose you are designing a TDM system for eight devices, each
requiring 500 kbps of bandwidth. The transmission medium supports a
total bandwidth of 5 Mbps. Calculate how you would allocate time slots
for each device and the efficiency of the system. How much bandwidth is
wasted, if any?
ii. Time Division Multiplexing is commonly used in satellite
communications. Discuss how TDM allows for the efficient use of
satellite bandwidth. What challenges do satellite systems face when using
TDM, and how are these addressed?
