Question No. 1:

Suppose a Station A transmits a message containing five characters to Station B using Even
Parity encoding to ensure data integrity during transmission. Each character consists of 8 bits
encoded in the ASCII. Station B receives the message of five 9-bit data elements and needs to
extract the 8-bit data message from each element and decode it using ASCII to form meaningful
words. The data elements received by Station B are:

Received 9-bit Data Elements:

010101100 010101010 010011001 010011010 010100110

Assuming the data is received correctly without any errors by Station B, you are required to do
the following tasks:

1. Extract 8-bit Data Message: Remove the Parity bits to extract the 8-bit data message
from each 9-bit received element.
2. Decode and Extract using ASCII: Convert each 8-bit data message into its
corresponding ASCII character to extract the meaningful words.

Received Message 010101100 010101010 010011001 010011010 010100110

Data message (Bits)? 10101100 10101010 10011001 10011010 10100110
Decoded Message? ¼ ¬ Ö Ü ª

Question No.2:

A) In wireless LANS, the stations may be located at some distance, making it impossible to
detect any collision, if it occurs. What technique is used to overcome the collisions in wireless
LANs?

Solution:

In wireless LANs, to overcome collisions, a technique called "Carrier Sense Multiple Access
with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA)" is used. This technique involves stations sensing the
carrier before transmitting and implementing mechanisms to avoid collisions.

B) Match the correct speed as mentioned in Column B to the technology mentioned in column A.

Solution:

A: LAN Technology B: Data Transfer Rate / Speed

LOCAL TALK 230.4Kbps
IBM TOKEN RING 4Mbps to 16Mbps
Fiber distributed data interconnect 100Mbps
