I'll now continue with detailed answers for the remaining questions from DCN Assignment 3,

ensuring they are as per the DCN Unit 3 PDF and other provided sources.

Q5. A system uses CRC on an 8-byte block. How many


redundant bits are sent per block? What is the ratio of
useful bits to total bits?
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) Overview

CRC is an error-detection technique where a polynomial divisor is used to generate a


checksum (redundant bits) that helps detect errors in the received data.

Given Data:

 Block size (dataword): 8 bytes = 64 bits (1 byte = 8 bits).


 Redundant bits (r): Typically determined by the degree of the polynomial used.
o Common CRCs:
 CRC-8 → 8-bit checksum
 CRC-16 → 16-bit checksum
 CRC-32 → 32-bit checksum
o If we assume CRC-16, then 16 redundant bits are added.

1. How many redundant bits are sent per block?

 Total bits = Data bits + Redundant bits


 Total bits = 64 + 16 = 80 bits
 Answer: 16 redundant bits per block.

2. Ratio of Useful Bits to Total Bits:

Ratio=Useful bitsTotal bits=6480=0.8=80%\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Useful bits}}{\text{Total


bits}} = \frac{64}{80} = 0.8 = 80\%

 Final Answer: 80% (useful bits), 20% (redundant bits).

Q6. Describe Bluetooth Architecture Technologies.


Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communication technology based on the IEEE 802.15
standard.
Bluetooth Network Types

1. Piconet (Basic Bluetooth Network)


o A Bluetooth piconet consists of one master and up to 7 active slave devices.
o Parked nodes (inactive devices) can join but do not communicate until activated.
o Communication is one-to-one or one-to-many, but not slave-to-slave.
o Range: 10 meters (Class 2 devices), up to 100 meters (Class 1 devices).
2. Scatternet (Multiple Interconnected Piconets)
o A slave in one piconet can be a master in another.
o Used to extend the Bluetooth range and allow communication between
different groups.

Working of Bluetooth Communication

 Bluetooth operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band using frequency hopping spread
spectrum (FHSS) to avoid interference.
 Data is transmitted in packets, and error detection mechanisms like CRC are used to
ensure reliable communication.

Q7. Describe Various Mobile Generations.


1G – First Generation (Analog Cellular Networks, 1980s)

 Technology Used: Analog FM


 Speed: 2.4 kbps
 Features:
o Only voice communication
o Large mobile devices with poor battery life
o No encryption → Easily intercepted calls

2G – Second Generation (Digital Cellular Networks, 1990s)

 Technology Used: GSM, CDMA


 Speed: Up to 64 kbps
 Features:
o SMS and MMS support
o Stronger encryption → Improved security
o Internet browsing (WAP, GPRS, EDGE)

3G – Third Generation (High-Speed Data, Early 2000s)

 Technology Used: WCDMA, HSPA


 Speed: 144 kbps to 2 Mbps
 Features:
o Video calling, mobile TV
o Web browsing with faster speeds
o Multimedia applications

4G – Fourth Generation (Broadband LTE Networks, 2010s)

 Technology Used: LTE, WiMAX


 Speed: 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps
 Features:
o HD video streaming, gaming
o Lower latency for VoLTE calls
o Internet of Things (IoT) integration

5G – Fifth Generation (Next-Gen Wireless, 2020s and Beyond)

 Technology Used: Millimeter-wave, Massive MIMO


 Speed: Up to 10 Gbps
 Features:
o Ultra-low latency (1 ms)
o Smart cities, connected vehicles
o AI-powered automation

Q8. Explain 802.11 Architecture.


IEEE 802.11 defines Wi-Fi networks, used for wireless local area networks (WLANs).

1. Basic Service Set (BSS)

 The fundamental building block of a Wi-Fi network.


 Two types:
o Ad-hoc Mode: Devices communicate directly without an access point.
o Infrastructure Mode: Uses a Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) to manage
communication.

2. Extended Service Set (ESS)

 Formed by interconnecting multiple BSSs via a distribution system (DS).


 Allows roaming between APs without losing connection.
 Used in large buildings, campuses, and enterprise networks.
Q9. Explain Parity Check Error Detection Process.
Parity check is a simple error-detection technique that adds an extra bit to maintain even or
odd parity.

Types of Parity Check

1. Even Parity → Total number of 1s is even.


2. Odd Parity → Total number of 1s is odd.

Example (Even Parity Check):

 Data: 1011001
 Parity Bit Added: 1 → 10110011
 If a single-bit error occurs (10111011), the receiver detects the issue.

Q10. Describe Checksum Error Detection Method.


How Checksum Works:

1. The sender divides the data into equal-sized blocks.


2. It adds all blocks using 1’s complement arithmetic.
3. The sum is sent as a checksum along with data.
4. The receiver adds all blocks (including checksum).
5. If the sum is all 1s, data is valid; otherwise, it is corrupt.

Example:

 Data Blocks: 10101001, 00111001


 Checksum: 00011101
 Sum at Receiver: 11111111 (Valid Data)

Q11. Explain Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) Error


Detection.
CRC is a mathematical algorithm used to detect errors by dividing the data using a
polynomial divisor.

Steps in CRC:
1. Sender Appends Zeroes to Data.
2. Performs Modulo-2 Division with a predefined polynomial.
3. The Remainder (CRC Checksum) is Sent.
4. Receiver Performs the Same Division.
5. If the Remainder = 0, the data is correct.

Example:

 Data: 110101
 Polynomial: 1011
 CRC Appended: 110101110

Q12. Describe the Error Correction Method Using


Hamming Code (With Example).
Hamming Code detects and corrects single-bit errors using parity bits.

Example: Encoding 1011 in Hamming Code

Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Type P1 P2 D1 P4 D2 D3 D4
Bits 0 1 1 0 0 1 1

If an error occurs, the receiver calculates syndrome bits and corrects the faulty bit.
