  2. one-to-one
  3. one-to-many
  4. none of the above

Correct answer: (A)
one-plus-one

  2. one-to-one
  3. one-to-many
  4. none of the above

Correct answer: (B)
one-to-one

276. In _________ APS, there is only one protection line for many working lines. When a failure occurs in one of the working lines, the protection line takes control until the failed line is repaired.

  1. one-plus-one
  2. one-to-one
  3. one-to-many

Correct answer: (A)
pure ALOHA

278. In _________ encoding, the duration of the bit is divided into two halves. The voltage remains at one level during the first half and moves to the other level in the second half. The transition at the middle of the bit provides synchronization.

  4. neither (a) nor (b)

Correct answer: (C)
both (a) and (b)
