EIGHTH SEMESTER B.Tech.[EE]


END-SEMESTER EXAMINATION (May-2023)

EE-446 DATA COMMUNICATION & COMPUTER NETWORKS

Time: 03 Hours Max. Marks:50

Note: Question No.1 is compulsory. Attempt any three questions from Q2 to


Q5.

Q1. a) A digitized voice channel, is made by digitizing a 4-kHz [2]


bandwidth analog voice signal. We need to sample the signal at CO1
twice the highest frequency. We assume that each sample
requires 8 bits. What is the required bit rate?

b) We need to send 265 kbps over a noiseless channel with a [2]


CO1
bandwidth of 20 kHz. How many signal levels do we need?

c) A network with bandwidth of 10 Mbps can pass only an average [2]


of 12,000 frames per minute with each frame carrying an CO2
average of 10,000 bits. What is the throughput of this network?

d) What are the propagation time and the transmission time for a 5- [2]
Mbyte message (an image) if the bandwidth of the network is 1 CO2
Mbps? Assume that the distance between the sender and the
receiver is 12,000 km and that light travels at 2.4 × 108 m/s.

e) Compare and contrast a circuit-switched network and a packet- [2]


CO3
switched network.

f) Calculate the Hamming distance between the code words : [2]


CO5
(10101, 11110)

g) How does a single-bit error differ from a burst error? [2]


CO2

1
h) What is the difference between a unicast, multicast, and [2]
CO3
broadcast address?

i) What are the advantages of dividing an Ethernet LAN with a [2]


CO4
bridge?

j) The address 43:7B:6C:DE:10:00 has been shown as the source [2]


address in an Ethernet frame. The receiver has discarded the CO5
frame. Why?

Q2. Draw the graph of the NRZ-L scheme using each of the [10]
CO2
following data streams, assuming that the last signal level has
been positive.
a) 01010101
b) 00000000
c) 11111111

Q3. Five equal-size datagrams belonging to the same message leave [10]
for the destination one after another. However, they travel CO4
through different paths as shown in Table 1.
Datagram Path Length Visited Switches
1 3200Km 1,3,5
2 11,700 Km 1,2,5
3 12,200 Km 1,2,3,5
4 10,200 Km 1,4,5
5 10,700 Km 1,4,3,5

Table 1

Assume that the delay for each switch (including waiting and
processing) is 3, 10, 20, 7, and 20 ms respectively. Assuming
that the propagation speed is 2 x 108 m, find the order the
datagrams arrive at the destination and the delay for each. Ignore
any other delays in transmission.

OR

In Figure 1 a switch (router) in a datagram network is shown. [10]


CO4
Find the output port for packets with the following destination
addresses:

Packet 1: 7176
Packet 2: 1233
Packet 3: 8766
Packet 4: 9144

Q4 Explain byte stuffing and bit stuffing with example. [10]


CO4

Q5. Write a short-note on any two: [10]

b) Block Codes
c) Go-Back N ARQ
d) OSI Model
