Q

Error correction is inadequate when dealing with wireless comms for what reasons:

A
  • bit error rate on wireless can be quite high, this would result in large amount of retransmissions
  • FEC is a method of correcting errors by putting extra bits in a transm

Q

Connection negotiation serves three main purposes

A
  • it allows each end to assure that the other exists
  • it allows exchange or negotiation of optional parameters
  • it triggers allocation of transport entity reaource
