Question 2: What is the difference between bit rate and baud rate? Give an
example where both are the same. Give an example where they are different?

Question 3: In the PCM example taken from the lecture. I want to send the data on 5 bits each find
the Quantization error for each sample and the 5 bits coding for each sample?

Question 4: How does the sampling rate affect the transmitted digital signal?

Question 5: Describe the difference between three subclasses of serial transmission?

Question 6: What factors can improve the quality of data in Delta Modulation. What Trade off will
have to be made to get a better Quality in data.

Question 7: What are the reasons of performing Block coding of data before its transmition?

Question 8 : We have an available bandwidth which spans from 500 to 1500 kHz. What should be
the carrier frequency and the bit rate if we modulated our data by using FSK with d = 1?

Question 9: A constellation diagram consists of eight equally spaced points on a circle. If the bit
rate is 5kbps, what is the baud rate?

Question 10: Compute the baud rate for a 384kbps 64-QAM signal.

Question11: Draw the constellation diagram having the following points. Also mention the type
of modulation and how many bits per baud can be sent with each constellation.
1. (4,5) and (8,10)
2. (4,4) and (-4,4)

Question12: What is the advantage of QAM over ASK or PSK?

Question 13: What kind of information can be obtained from a constellation diagram?

Question 14: How is baud rate related to transmission bandwidth in QAM?

Question 15: What is the major factor that makes PSK superior to ASK?

Question 16: How does AM differ from ASK?

Question 17: Compare the FM bandwidth with AM bandwidth in terms of the Modulating signal

Question 18: What is the purpose of a carrier signal in modulation?

Question 19.: Explain and Compare in detail the two datalink layer protocols
PPP & HDLC.

Question 20: For P=110001 and M = 1010101010101 find CRC

Question 21: A channel has a data rate of 200 kbps and a propagation delay of 20 ms .For what range of
frame size does stop and wait flow control give an efficiency of 75 %

Question 22: Two neighbouring nodes ( Aand B) are using a sliding –window protocol with 3-bit
sequence numbers. As the ARQ mechanism ,GO-Back- N is used .Assuming A is
transmitting and B is receiving ,show the window position for the following succession
of events:

a) Before A sends any frames

b) After A sends frames 0,1,2,3 and B acknowledges 0,1 and the ACKs are received
by A.
c) After A sends 4,5,6 and B acknowledges 4.
Hint: First find the window size
