Part - A

1. When you have two different networks, one is ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) Network and the other is legacy Ethernet LAN inter-connected by a layer 3 device, With the help of a detailed diagram describe the process of PDU (Protocol Data Units) creation at each layer and how they communicate between the server in ATM network and client PC in Ethernet LAN. With the detailed diagram you also need to explain each layer of TCP/IP model interact and any sub-layers interact for communication to be successful.

2. Compute the amplitude, frequency, time period and phase for each of the following equations A/5* Sin(1000t+120).

3. From the following figures, compute the maximum amplitude, frequency, time period and phase for each of the wave. The x-axis represents the time in sec and y-axis represents the amplitude.

4. You are communicating between two satellites. The transmission obeys the free space law. The signal is too weak. Your vendor offers you two options. The vendor can use a higher frequency that is triple the current frequency or can triple the effective area of both of the antennas. Which will offer you more received power or will both offer the same improvement, all other factors remaining equal? How much improvement in the received power do you obtain from the best option?

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/sec

d = propagation distance between antennas

P_r = signal power at the receiving antenna

P_t = signal power at the transmitting antenna

A_r = effective area of the receiving antenna

A_t = effective area of the transmitting antenna

5. A Communication channel has a loss of 20 dB. The input transmission end the signal power is measured as 0.5 W, and the output noise level is measured as 4.5 μW. Using this information, calculate the output signal-to-noise ratio in dB at the receiving end.

6. What is the maximum distance (i.e. distance to radio horizon) for a terrestrial microwave wireless link where the sending antenna is on a hilltop 550 meters above sea level and the receiver is a mobile car radio with antenna 10 meters above sea level?

7. If the maximum distance for LOS communication between the transmitter and the receiver is 20 Km, then calculate the heights of transmitting and receiving antennas such that the height of receiving antenna is double of the transmitting antenna.

8. In packet switching, do you think line efficiency is greater if packets sizes are smaller, so that a single node-to-node link can be dynamically shared by many packets over time? Use the scenarios in figure 1 to give a concise analysis. Assume that the standard packet size is 50 octets (un-fragmented packet) and the header size is 4 octets. Show your calculations.

Part - B

9. Imagine you wish to transmit your student ID number over wireless medium. First you will need to convert your student ID from its decimal (base 10) representation into a 28-bit binary (base 2) representation. For example, a student ID of 12345 will be 0011000000111001 in the binary form. Convert the binary data "0011000000111001" into analogue waveforms using the following modulation techniques:

Note: that the ID of each student is unique and the binary form will also be unique. If the number of bits are 16-bit long its fine. If the bits are less or more then you may prepend binary "000...." or truncate the Most Significant Bits (MSB).

a. Two level Amplitude Shift Keying

b. Two level Frequency Shift Keying

c. Two level Phase Shift Keying

d. Four level Amplitude Shift Keying

10. For the above techniques, let suppose the time required to transmit one signal is 0.5 µsec. Compute the time required to send the whole data for each of these techniques.

11. What is the attenuation loss (in dB) of a communication link operating in free space at a frequency of 2.4 GHz over a distance of 12.5 Km?

12. Draw the 8 QAM Constellation Diagram having two different amplitude levels and four different phase levels.

13. Considering the figure for the handoff situation and the mobile user is moving from Base station A to Base station B, answers the following questions.

I. At what location, the handoff takes place considering Relative signal strength?

II. At what location, the handoff takes place considering Relative signal strength with threshold TH₁?

III. At what location, the handoff takes place considering Relative signal strength with threshold TH₂?

IV. At what location, the handoff takes place considering Relative signal strength with threshold TH₃?

V. At what location, the handoff takes place considering Relative signal strength with hysteresis?

VI. At what location, the handoff takes place considering Relative signal strength with hysteresis and threshold TH₁?

VII. At what location, the handoff takes place considering Relative signal strength with hysteresis and threshold TH₂?

VIII. At what location, the handoff takes place considering Relative signal strength with hysteresis and threshold TH₃?

14. Explain and sketch the Error Detection Process for calculating the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) for the following Dataword using the common divider 10101 at both end (Transmission & Reception ends):

a) At the Transmission end If the Dataword is "1110111010" Calculate the CRC redundant bits using the Cyclic Redundancy check (CRC) encoder for transmission, and calculate write the Codeword that needs to be transmitted.

b) At the Receiving end using the Divisor to verify and check the integrity of the received Dataword.
