(3) Draw neat diagrams wherever necessary


1 (a) Define network. With a neat diagram, explain the four basic topologies.
5 M
1 (b) With the help of a diagram, explain the functionalities of each layer of OSI reference model.
10 M
1 (c) List and explain the four levels of addresses used in an internet employing the TCP/IP protocols.
5 M

2 (a) Define latency. Briefly explain the components of latency. What are the propagation time and transmission time for a 5 MByte message (image), H the bandwidth of the network is 1 Mbps? Assume that the distance between the sender and receiver is 12000 km and that light travels at 2.4×108 m/s.
8 M
2 (c) What is line coding? Represent the sequence '01001110' using NRZ-L, NRZ-I and Manchester schemes.
4 M

3 (a) What is TDM? Explain in detail.
7 M
3 (b) Explain virtual circuit network with an example, and also briefly discuss the phases.
10 M
3 (c) Five channels, each with a 100 kHz bandwidth are to be multiplexed together. What is the minimum bandwidth of the link is there is a need for a guard band of 10 kHz between the channels to prevent interference?
3 M

4 (a) How does datawords and codewords is represented in block coding and also explain how can errors be selected and corrected by using block coding.
10 M
4 (b) Find the code word using CRC given data ?1101? and generator ?1100?.
10 M

5 (a) With a neat diagram, explain any two protocols of noisy channel.
12 M
