Assignment No1.

1. Define a computer network. Explain its goals and give two real-life applications.
2. Differentiate between LAN, MAN, WAN, and PAN with suitable examples.

3. Explain any three network topologies with neat diagrams. State one advantage and
one disadvantage of each.
4. Describe the role of network hardware devices such as hubs, switches, and routers
in data communication.
5. What is transmission media? Explain the differences between guided and
unguided media with examples.
6. Define protocols and standards in networking. Why are they important in
communication systems?
7. Explain the OSI reference model. Write the functions of any four layers.
8. Compare the OSI and TCP/IP models. Highlight at least three similarities and three
differences.

Assignment No2.

1. Explain the difference between guided and unguided transmission media with
suitable examples.
2. Describe circuit switching, packet switching, and message switching. Compare
them in terms of delay and efficiency.

3. Describe digital encoding? Explain any two encoding schemes (e.g., NRZ,
Manchester, Differential Manchester) with diagrams.
4. Define multiplexing. Explain FDM, TDM, and WDM with suitable examples of
applications.
5. Explain the working of Parity Check for error detection. Give an example for both
even and odd parity.

6. Discuss Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) in detail? Explain the process with a
simple example.
7. Describe the concept of Hamming Code. Show how it detects and corrects a single-
bit error with an example.
8 Compare error detection and error correction techniques. Which methods are more
efficient in real-time communication systems?
