Assignment title: Information


KINGSTON UNIVERSITY Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing. CI7110 Data Communications Coursework February 2017. There are two parts to the coursework submission: 1. You must demonstrate your initial ‘MATLAB’ and / or ‘Simulink’ simulation or implementation between 14:00 and 16:30 on Wednesday 22nd March 2017 in PR SB 2024. You must also E-mail your initial Simulink .slx and / or ‘MATLAB’ .m files to [email protected] by 10.0 a.m. on 22nd March 2017. 2. You must submit an electronic copy of your assignment paper via the Module Assignment link in the AssignDC2017 folder by 10.0 a.m. on 18th April 2017. You must also E-mail an electronic copy of your assignment paper to [email protected] by 10.0 a.m. on 18th April 2017. You must also E-mail your Simulink .slx and / or ‘MATLAB’ .m files to [email protected] by 10.0 a.m. on 18th April 2017. Write a tutorial review paper of about 5000 words on 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. 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 bold point characters Name of author Abstract Introduction Section headings Conclusion References: Note use the ‘Harvard’ referencing system. Marks will be awarded according to the following criteria: Demonstration: Initial ‘MATLAB’ or ‘Simulink’ simulation / implementation 20% Paper: Writing style, presentation, grammar 10% Technical content (10% for each part i.e. Dig Comms, TCP/IP and security) 30% Simulation / implementation and analysis and evaluation 40%Marking criteria A B C F Preliminary ‘MATLAB’ or ‘Simulink’ simulation / implementation 20% Offers consideration beyond the brief. Brings in higher order aspects. Relevant simulation extending the concepts taught in the module. Relevant simulation with limited extension of the concepts taught in the module. Inadequate simulation with little or no extension of the concepts taught in the module. Writing style, presentation, grammar 10% Excellent technical English style, as would be expected for a research journal. Good and clear English, with some observance of technical writing conventions. Adequate English and presentation. Poor or unclear English and/or poor presentation. Technical Content 30% Offers consideration beyond the brief. Brings in higher order aspects.
