TUTORIAL - UNIT-I
By Dr. Ishwar Chandra Yadav
1. Explain the data communication with the effectiveness. Further list and explain the five components
ofa data communications system.
2. What is Internet today? Explain its structure in detail.
3. Explain the different way of accessing Internet.
4. what do you mean by protocol layering, explain with example.
5. Explain the OSI model with defining each layers function.
6. Explain the TCP/IP Protocol in detail with each layer.
7. Discuss the different levels of addressing used internet employing TCP/IP protocols.
8. Differentiate analog and digital signal with example.
9. What is line coding?
10. Compare between data element and signal element.
11. Differentiate between data rate verses signal rate in detail.
12. Discuss the unipolar NRZ line coding scheme in detail.
13. Explain various polar line coding schemes with example.
14. Draw the graph of the NRZ-L, NRZ-I, Manchester, differential Manchester scheme using each of
the following data streams,
(a) 00000000 (b) 11111111 (c) 01010101 (d) 00110011
15. What is the maximum data rate of a channel with a bandwidth of 200 KHz if we use four levels of
digital signaling.
16. An analog signal has a bandwidth of20 KHz. Ifwe sample this signal and send it through a 30 Kbps
channel what is the SNR in dB?
17. Explain various multilevel line coding schemes with example.
18. Explain the different type of multiplexing in detail.
19. Assume that a voice channel occupies a bandwidth of4 kHz. We need to multiplex 10 voice channels
with guard bands of500 Hz using FDM. Calculate the required bandwidth.
20. Four channels, two with a bit rate of200 kbps and two with a bit rate of 150 kbps, are to be
multiplexed using multiple slot TDM with no synchronization bits.
i. What is the size of a frame in bits?
ii. What is the frame rate?
iii. What is the duration of a frame?
iv. What is the data rate?
21. What is transmission media, explain the broad category.
22. Explain about the fiber optic cable with the advantage and disadvantages.
23. Describe the role of unguided transmission media in modern wireless communication systems.
24. What is the need of switched network?
25. Explain in detail about the circuit switched network with their performance measure.
26. Explain in detail about the datagram network with their performance measure.
27. Explain in detail about the virtual-circuit network with their performance measure.
28. Compare space-division and time-division switches.
