ECEG-4503 Data communication and computer network

1. Match the following to one or more layers of the OSl model:


a. Communicates directly with user's application program
b. Error correction and retransmission
c. Mechanical, electrical, and functional interface
d. Responsibility for carrying frames between adjacent nodes
2. Explain is the difference between a port address, a logical address, and a physical address?
3. Match the following to one or more layers of the OSI model:
a. Reliable process-to-process message delivery
b. Route selection and Routing
c. Defines frames
d. Provides user services such as e-mail and file transfer
e. Transmission of bit stream across physical medium
4. Suppose a computer sends a frame to another computer on a bus topology LAN. The physical
destination address of the frame is corrupted during the transmission. What happens to the
frame? How can the sender be informed about the situation?
5. What is the transmission time of a packet sent by a station if the length of the packet is 1 million
bytes and the bandwidth of the channel is 200 Kbps?.
6. We need to upgrade a channel to a higher bandwidth. Answer the following questions:
a. How is the rate improved if we double the bandwidth?
b. How is the rate improved if we double the SNR?
7. We have sampled a low-pass signal with a bandwidth of 200 KHz using 1024 levels of
quantization.
a. Calculate the bit rate of the digitized signal.
b. Calculate the SNRdB for this signal.
c. Calculate the PCM bandwidth of this signal.
8. Given a channel with an intended capacity of 20 Mbps, the bandwidth of the channel is 3 MHz.
Assuming white thermal noise, what signal-to-noise ratio is required to achieve this capacity ?
