i The above monochrome image is being designed.

Each white square is represented by 'W' and each dark square is represented by 'D'.
Show how run-length encoding (RLE) would be used to produce a condensed file
for the above image. Using the grid below, write down the data you would expect
to find in the RLE compressed format; the first two have been done for you.

ii Assuming that each square in the 8 × 8 grid requires one byte of storage, and each
character in the RLE code also requires one byte of storage (for example, '3' requires
1 byte, 'W' requires 1 byte), calculate the file size reduction when using RLE.

time. Complete the table below to show what type of data transmission is being
described in each case. Tick (✓) two boxes for each description.
Simplex Half-duplex Full-duplex Serial Parallel
Description of transmission taking place
(✓) (✓) (✓) (✓) (✓)
Data sent one bit at a time down a single wire
in one direction only
Data sent 16 bits at a time down 16 wires in
both directions, but not at the same time
Data sent 16 bits at a time down 16 wires in
both directions simultaneously
Data sent 8 bits at a time down 8 wires in one
direction only
Data sent one bit at a time down a single wire
in both directions simultaneously
Data sent one bit at a time down a single wire
in both directions, but not at the same time

b Five statements about serial and parallel data transmission are made in the table below.

transmission and which statements refer to parallel transmission.

Statements Serial (✓) Parallel (✓)

Transmission method used by the memory bus inside a computer

Data can be skewed (out of synch) when travelling over long distances
Least expensive of the two types due to fewer hardware requirements
Most appropriate if data is time-sensitive; for example, when live streaming where
faster transmission rate is essential
Suffers from less risk of external interference

.............................................................................................................................................................................

b Seven statements about USB connections are made in the table below. By ticking (✓) the
appropriate box, indicate which statements are true and which statements are FALSE.
Statements True (✓) False (✓)
USB uses a protocol that allows for error-free data transmission between device
and computer
USB can support any cable length between device and computer
USB uses serial data transfer
USB connections can transfer data using half-duplex or full-duplex
It is difficult to add more USB ports to a computer using USB hubs
USB data transfer rates are much faster than, for example, Ethernet connections
There is no need for devices to have a power source because USB cable supplies 5V
of power
