END-SEMESTER EXAMINATION, MAY, 2022
Course Code- COECC12/ CAECC12/ CDECC12 Course Title- Data Communication
Time- 3 Hours Max. Marks- 40
Note: - Attempt any 2 (out of 3) parts in all the 5 questions. Missing data/ information (if any), may
be suitably assumed & mentioned in the answer.
1a A speech signal is varying from -5 to +5 volt which sampled at Nyquist rate. Each sample 4
is quantized and represented by 8 bits. Find the number of quantization levels required to
reduce the quantization noise by a factor of 4
1b Find out whether the signals s1(t), s2(t), and s3(t), shown in Figure.1. are forming 4
orthogonal set or not. Using the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization procedure, find a set
of orthonormal basis functions to represent the three signals s1(t), s2(t), and s3(t) shown CO1
in Figure 1.

4b Derive the throughput in slotted ALOHA. Is it better than that of pure ALOHA? Explain. 4
4c Four stations A, B, C and D are using CSMA/CD protocol. Distance between A and B is
1000 meters, A and C is 2000 meters, A and D is 3000 meters. The stations are located
on a straight line and the data from A to D would pass through stations B and C during
transit. The signal propagates at a speed of 1x108 m/s and data rate Rb = 10 Mbps. Station
A starts transmitting at t1= 0 and station C starts transmitting at t2 = 15 micro-seconds.
Determine the number of bits transmitted by both the stations before collision is detected.
5a What do you understand by birth and death processes? Explain 4
5b In the M/M/1 queuing system, the arrival process is the Poison process with rate λ (mean 4
arrival rate) and the service time is exponentially distributed with parameter μ (mean
service time). Derive the expression for (a) Average number of customers in the system CO5
and (b) Average number of customers waiting in the queuing.
5c Customers arrive at a watch repair shop according to a Poisson process at a rate of 8 per 4
hour. The shop has one technician whose service time is an exponential random variable
and repairs watch at a rate of 9 per hour. Find the probability that the technician is not
free.
