DATA COMMUNICATIONS & NETWORKING
(Electronics & Communication Engineering)
Time: 3 hours Max. Marks: 70
PART – A
(Compulsory Question)
*****
1 Answer the following: (10 X 02 = 20 Marks)
(a) Create a diagram of the NRZ, NRZI and Manchester encodings for the bit pattern 11010011.
(b) What is Shannon capacity for noisy channel?
(c) Define framing and the reason for its need
(d) Distinguish between forward error correction versus error correction by retransmission
(e) What is the difference between a unicast, multicast, and broadcast address?
(f) Compare a Piconet and a Scatternet.
(g) What is classless addressing?
(h) What are the responsibilities of network layer?
(i) What is the maximum and minimum size of the TCP header?
(j) How is a secret key different from public key?

PART – B
(Answer all five units, 5 X 10 = 50 Marks)
UNIT – I
2 (a) What are different types of transmission modes? Draw and describe process of data communication
in various modes.
(b) Explain the OSI model for networking in brief. How does it differ from TCP/IP model?
OR
3 (a) Explain TCP/IP protocol suite in detail.
(b) Write short notes on unguided media.
UNIT – II
4 (a) Briefly explain the cyclic redundancy check error detection scheme. Prove the validity of the
scheme.
(b) Explain Point to Point protocol in detail.
OR
5 (a) Explain in detail about Selective Repeat and Go back –N sliding window protocols.
(b) A block of 32 bits has to be transmitted. Discuss how the thirty two bit block is transmitted to the
receiver using Longitudinal Redundancy Check. Consider a 32 bit block of data 11100111 11011101
00111001 10101001 that has to be transmitted. If Longitudinal Redundancy Check is used what is
the transmitted bit stream? What kinds of errors can Vertical Redundancy check determine? What
kinds of errors it cannot determine.
