Q-1 Given the data word 1010011110 and the divisor 10111.
a. Show the generation of the codeword at the sender site and receiver site assume no
error (using binary division).
b. repeat checking of the codeword at the sender and receiver site assume no error(using
polynomials).

a-

B-

Q2- 32. A sender needs to send the four data items Ox3456, OxABCC, Ox02BC, and OxEEEE.
Answer the following:
a. Find the checksum at the sender site.
b. Find the checksum at the receiver site if there is no error.
c. Find the checksum at the receiver site if the second data item is changed to
OxABCE.
d. Find the checksum at the receiver site if the second data item is changed to
OxABCE and the third data item is changed to Ox02BA.

a- In part a, we calculate the checksum to be sent (0x2E32)

b- In part b, there is no error in transition. The receiver recalculates the checksum to be all 0x0000. The
Receiver correctly assumes that there is no error.
c- In part c, there is one single error in transition. The receiver calculates the checksum to be 0FFFD.
The receiver correctly assumes that there is some error and discards the packet.
d- In part d, there are two errors that cancel the effect of each other. The receiver calculates the
checksum to be 0x0000. The receiver erroneously assumes that there is no error and accepts the
packet. This is an example that shows that the checksum may slip in finding some types of errors.

CHAPTER 9
Q1-Explain major components of a telephone network with figure.
The telephone network, is made of three major components:
 Local Loops:- a twisted-pair cable that connects the subscriber telephone to the nearest
end office or local central office. It is interesting to examine the telephone number
associated with each local loop (first three digits define office, and the next four digits
define the local loop number).
 Trunks:- are transmission media that handle the communication between offices (optical
fibers or satellite links) .
 Switching Offices:- the telephone company has switches located in a switching office. A
switch connects several local loops or trunks and allows a connection between different
subscribers.

Q2:- explain types of (LATAs) with figure.

 A LATA (Local-Access Transport Areas) can be a small or large metropolitan area. A

small state may have one single LATA; a large state may have several LATAs.
1. Intra-LATA Services
The services offered by the common carriers (telephone companies) inside a LATA. If LATA
granted to one single carrier (monopoly) called the incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC), if
more than one carrier could provide services inside a LATA called competitive local exchange
carriers (CLECs).
2. Inter-LATA Services
The services between LATAs are handled by interexchange carriers (IXCs). These carriers,
sometimes called long-distance companies, provide communication services between two
customers in different LATAs.

Q3:- Explain why circuit-switching was chosen for telephone networks, then match
communication phases involved in a circuit switched network with the phases in a
telephone call between two parties.

Packet-switched networks are well suited for carrying data in packets. The end-to end addressing or
local addressing (VCI) occupies a field in each packet. Telephone networks were designed to carry
voice, which was not packetized. A circuit-switched network, which dedicates resources for the whole
duration of the conversation, is more suitable for this type of communication.
The setup phase can be matched to the dialing process. After the call responds, the data transfer
phase (here voice transfer phase) starts. When any of the parties hangs up, the data transfer is
terminated and the teardown phase starts. It takes a while before all resources are released.
