Write a tutorial review paper of between 3000 and 5000 words covering three aspects of Data Communications. The first part will be on Digital Communications, the second part on TCP/IP Networks and the third on network security protocols.

Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing. CI7110 Data Communications Coursework video demonstration and coursework assignment paper

March 2021. Your submissions must be your own independent work.

There are two parts to the coursework submission:

1. You must submit a short video file (maximum 3 minutes duration) demonstrating your initial ‘MATLAB’ and / or ‘Simulink’ simulation or implementation by 23:59 on Tuesday 30^th March 2021. The video should include an audio description and the file type should be

.mp4 or .mov . As an alternative to a video recording you can upload a Powerpoint .pptx presentation file that includes a series of screenshots together with an audio recording of maximum length 3 minutes which together explain and demonstrate your code when run. You must also submit your Simulink .slx and / or ‘MATLAB’ .m or .mlx file(s) via the Module Assignments link on Canvas by 23:59 on 30^th March 2021.

 2. You must submit an electronic copy of your assignment paper Word file (.doc or .docx) and your Simulink .slx and / or ‘MATLAB’ .m or .mlx files via the Module Assignments link on Canvas by 23:59 on Thursday 6^th May 2021. Please prefix your paper filename with your surname and Knumber i.e. Surname_Knumber_. Please submit the Network Security section as a separate file and prefix the filename with Security_Surname_Knumber_. Please note that the total length of the tutorial review paper covering all the three aspects of Data Communications should be between 3000 and 5000 words.

Write a tutorial review paper of between 3000 and 5000 words covering three aspects of Data Communications. The first part will be on Digital Communications, the second part on TCP/IP Networks and the third on network security protocols. The three topics can be related or independent and should either extend that presented in the module or be within the scope of Data Communications but have not been covered in the lecture course.

The Digital Communications aspect should include some relevant simulation and / or analysis using ‘MATLAB’ or ‘Simulink’; details of how the simulation and / or analysis was performed as well as results should be included. A listing of your ‘MATLAB’ code should be included in an appendix at the end of the paper as text, not screenshots. You should also include a relevant simulation and analysis for the TCP/IP Networks part. You can optionally include a simulation for the network security protocols aspect.

The paper should be presented in a similar form to that used for some journals, with two columns of 12 point text with headings of 14 bold point text and should be consistent with the following guidelines:

Title of Paper in 16 point bold characters Name of author

Abstract Introduction Section headings Conclusion
