Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does ARQ rely on for error recovery?

  • Retransmission alone
  • Acknowledgments and retransmission
  • Only periodic checks

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what mechanisms are in place to confirm data delivery.

Question 2

True or False: FEC can correct errors without the need for retransmission.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how corrections are made without sending data again.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are designing a system for a satellite communication application. Discuss the challenges of retransmitting data and how FEC could be advantageous.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how signal loss and transmission time affect reliability.

Question 2

Given a low-latency local area network, evaluate whether ARQ or FEC would be a better choice and justify your reasoning.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about network conditions which require quick responses for error handling.
