MODULE 2
ASSIGNMENTS
Assignment 1:
Students can create a Java program that simulates the transmission of data packets
with random errors. The program should detect and correct errors using block coding (e.g.,
Hamming code) or cyclic redundancy check (CRC).
Assignment 2:
Design a PPP connection that uses error detection (CRC) and flow control to maintain
a reliable link, even with frequent disconnections.
Assignment 3:
a. Propose and simulate different MAC protocols (e.g., ALOHA, CSMA/CD, Token
Passing) for the network, considering the various traffic patterns and device priorities
b. Test how each protocol handles network congestion, and propose the best solution
for your smart city network.
Assignment 4:
a. Design a protocol that uses a combination of error detection and correction, flow
control, and framing techniques to ensure reliable data transmission over long
distances.
b. Simulate different error scenarios (e.g., burst errors, intermittent connection losses)
and show how your protocol can handle them.
Assignment 5:
a. Simulate and compare CSMA/CA and CSMA/CD protocols for the campus network.
Introduce challenges like high density of devices and random bursts of traffic
b. Propose improvements to the network infrastructure and configuration based on the
simulation results
