Assignment No 1

1. What is data communication, and what are its key characteristics?


2. List the different types of protocols used in networking.
3. Explain the OSI reference model and describe the function of each of its seven layers.
4. How does the TCP/IP model differ from the OSI model? Provide a detailed explanation.
5. Describe the key differences between digital and analog signals.
6. Given a scenario where two computers are communicating over a network, explain how the
OSI model helps in managing data flow between the devices.
7. How would you troubleshoot a communication issue between two devices in a network using
the TCP/IP model?
8. Compare and contrast the features of digital and analog signals. Which would be more
efficient for a specific type of communication, and why?
9. Analyze the role of protocols in networking and how they contribute to network
communication reliability.

Assignment No 2

1) What is multiplexing in the context of communication networks?


2) List the different types of multiplexing.
3) Explain the concept of Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and how it works.
4) Describe the principle behind Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) and its use in
communication.
5) How would you implement Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) in a communication system
where multiple signals need to be transmitted over a single channel?
6) In what situations would Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) be more advantageous than
TDM?
7) Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of TDM and FDM in a networking
environment.
8) Analyze the role of statistical multiplexing in optimizing bandwidth usage in digital
communication.
9) Evaluate the effectiveness of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) in modern fiber-
optic communication systems.
10) Assess the potential challenges and benefits of implementing Code Division Multiplexing
(CDM) in wireless communication.
11) Design a multiplexing strategy for a communication system where multiple video streams
need to be transmitted simultaneously with minimal delay.
12) Propose a solution for efficient bandwidth utilization in a network using a combination of
multiplexing techniques.
13) Explain how spread spectrum works and its advantages in communication.
14) Describe the different types of guided media, including their characteristics and uses.
15) How do unguided media facilitate wireless communication, and what are some common
types?
16) In what situations would you choose a spread spectrum technique for secure communication?
17) If you were setting up a network for high-speed internet, how would you decide between
using guided media (e.g., fiber optics) versus unguided media (e.g., wireless transmission)?
18) Evaluate the effectiveness of spread spectrum in minimizing interference in crowded radio-
frequency environments.
19) Assess the impact of different types of guided media (such as twisted pair, coaxial cables, and
fiber optics) on network speed, cost, and security.
20) Discuss the benefits and challenges of using unguided media in a dense urban environment.
