Marking Scheme 1M-Bit rate 1M-Baud Rate

Bit Rate: Bit rate is simply the number of bits (i.e., 0's and 1's) transmitted per
unit time.
Answer
Baud Rate: Baud rate is the number of signal units transmitted per unit time that
is needed to represent those bits.

Marking Scheme 1 M diagram. 3M explanation
 Considering the communication between two computers , the communication
system is as shown in above diagram
It has following five components:
1. Message
2. Sender
3. Medium
Answer 4. Receiver
5. Protocol
Message:
Message is the information or data which is to be sent from sender to the
receiver
A message can be in the form of sound, text, picture, video or
combination of them(multimedia)
Sender: Sender is device such as host, camera, workstation, telephone etc.
which sends the message over medium
Medium: The message originated from sender needs a path over which it can
Travel to the receiver. Such path is called as medium or channel
Receiver: It is the device which receives the message and reproduces it. A
Receiver can be host, camera, workstation, telephone etc.
Protocol: A protocol is defined as set of rules agreed by sender and receiver.
Protocol governs the exchange of data in true sense
4 U 6 Explain simplex, half duplex and full duplex modes in data
communication
Marking Scheme for each mode 1M ,for diagram 1M,for explanation 1M
Answer Transmission mode refers to the mechanism of transferring of data between two
Devices connected over a network. It is also called Communication Mode. These
Modes direct the direction of flow of information. There are three types of
Transmission modes.
They are:
Simplex Mode
Half duplex Mode
Full duplex Mode
1. In Simplex mode, the communication is unidirectional, as on a one-way
Street. Only one of the two devices on a link can transmit; the other can
Only receive. The simplex mode can use the entire capacity of the
Channel to send data in one direction.
Keyboards, traditional monitors and printers are examples of simplex devices.

2. In half-duplex mode, each station can both transmit and receive, but not at
The same time. When one device is sending, the other can only receive, and
Vice versa. The half-duplex mode is used in cases where there is no need for
Communication in both directions at the same time. The entire capacity of the
channel can be utilized for each direction
-for example: Walkie-talkies
 3. In full-duplex mode both stations can transmit and receive data
Simultaneously. The transmission medium sharing can occur in two ways
namely, either the link must contain two physically separate transmission
paths or the capacity of the channel is divided between signals traveling in
both directions .One common example of full-duplex communication is the
Telephone network. When two people are communicating by a telephone
line, both can talk and listen at the same time

5 U 2 Define Computer Network and state its types

Marking Scheme 1M Definition, 1M for types
Answer Definition:
A computer network is a group of computer systems and other computing hardware
devices that are linked together through communication channels to facilitate
Communication and resource sharing among a wide range of users.
Types of Computer Networks:
Local Area Networks (LAN)
Personal Area Networks (PAN)
Home Area Networks (HAN)
 Wide Area Networks (WAN)
Metropolitan Area Networks(MAN)

7 U 4 Classify the network based on geographical area and transmission technology.

Marking Scheme
optional
Answer Classification of networks based on geography:
LAN - Local Area Network
MAN - Metropolitan Area Network
WAN - Wide Area Network
CAN - Campus Area Network
PAN - Personal Area Network
LAN: LAN is local area network. LAN is privately-owned networks covering a
small geographic area(less than 1 km), like a home, office, building or group of
Buildings. LAN transmits data with a speed of several megabits per second.
MAN: A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is a large computer network that
Spans a metropolitan area or campus. 2. A MAN typically covers an area up to 10
kms (city). The best example of MAN is the cable Television network, available in
many cities.
WAN: WAN is wide area network. WAN is a long-distance communication
network that covers a wide geographic area, such as state or country. The most
common example is internet.
The transmission technology can be categorized broadly into two types:
1. Broadcast networks
 Broadcast networks have a single communication channel that is shared or used by
all the machines on the network. Short messages called packets sent by any
machine are received by all the others. Broadcast systems generally use a special
code in the address field for addressing a packet to all the concerned computers.
This mode of operation is called broadcasting.
2. Point-to-point networks
Point to point networks consists of many connections between individual pairs of
machines. To go from the source to the destination a packet on these types of
network may have to go through intermediate computers before they reach the
desired computer.
