Referencing guides

You must reference all the sources of information you have used in your assessments. Please use the IEEE referencing style when referencing in your assessments in this unit. Refer to the Library’s referencing guides for more information. • https://elearning.vit.edu.au/pluginfile.php/473840/block_html/content/VIT%20Library%20Refer encing%20-%20IEEE%20-%2007042020.pdf

Academic misconduct

VIT enforces that the integrity of its students academic studies follow an acceptable level of excellence. VIT will adhere to its VIT Policies, Procedures and Forms where it explains the importance of staff and student honesty in relation to academic work. It outlines the kinds of behaviours that are “academic misconduct”, including plagiarism.

Late submissions

In cases where there are no accepted mitigating circumstances as determined through VIT Policies, Procedures and Forms, late submission of assessments will lead automatically to the imposition of a penalty. Penalties will be applied as soon as the deadline is reached.

Short extensions and special consideration

Special Consideration is a request for: • Extensions of the due date for an assessment, other than an examination (e.g. assignment extension). • Special Consideration (Special Consideration in relation to a Completed assessment, including an end-of-unit Examination).

Students wishing to request Special Consideration in relation to an assessment the due date of which has not yet passed must engage in written emails to the teaching team to Request for Special Consideration as early as possible and prior to start time of the assessment due date, along with any accompanying documents, such as medical certificates.

For more information, visit VIT Policies, Procedures and Forms.

Inclusive and equitable assessment

Reasonable adjustment in assessment methods will be made to accommodate students with a documented disability or impairment. Contact the unit teaching team for more information.

Contract Cheating

Contract cheating usually involves the purchase of an assignment or piece of research from another party. This may be facilitated by a fellow student, friend or purchased on a website. Other forms of contract cheating include paying another person to sit an exam in the student's place.

Contract cheating warning:

Victorian Institute of Technology www.vit.edu.au CRICOS Provider No. 02044E, RTO No: 20829

• By paying someone else to complete your academic work, you don’t learn as much as you could have if you did the work yourself. • You are not prepared for the demands of your future employment. • You could be found guilty of academic misconduct. • Many of for pay contract cheating companies recycle assignments despite guarantees of “original, plagiarism-free work” so similarity is easily detected by TurnitIn. • Penalties for academic misconduct include suspension and exclusion. • Students in some disciplines are required to disclose any findings of guilt for academic misconduct before being accepted into certain professions (e.g. law). • You might disclose your personal and financial information in an unsafe way, leaving yourself open to many risks including possible identity theft. • You also leave yourself open to blackmail – if you pay someone else to do an assignment for you, they know you have engaged in fraudulent behaviour and can always blackmail you.

Grades

We determine your grades to the following Grading Scheme:

Grade Percentage A 80% – 100% B 70% – 79% C 60% – 69% D 50% – 59% F 0% – 49%

Assessment details Assessment 1: Case Study and Presentation

Overview

Weight Length Due date ULO 10% 1000-1500 Session 5 Sunday 11:55 PM ULO1 and ULO2

Introduction

In this assessment you are required to explore the given case study and provide a solution, employing the latest wireless communication techniques. The solution needs to be presented in a report and a short video presentation discussing findings and the proposed solution. The assessment will help in developing an understanding of communication in wireless networks and the limitations and challenges.

Case Study: Home office

Under doctor's orders for more bed rest, Jan received authorization from her employer to work from home during and immediately after her pregnancy. However, to do her job effectively, she routinely needs to retrieve large files from the corporate local area network (LAN), modify them, and return them to another location on the LAN. She also occasionally likes to print something for convenience or record keeping, and she needs convenient access to a telephone. Jan has received instructions from her company's Information Technology (IT) staff regarding how to connect to the corporate LAN. Jan currently has broadband access to her home. However, the only access is to a PC in a family room in the home's finished basement. Jan's family uses this PC for Internet access, online gaming, and as a resource for school projects. The PC is connected to a colour printer. Jan wants to create a home office in an unused upstairs bedroom. During the later stages of her pregnancy, she wants the convenience of working from more comfortable locations, such as her couch or bed. She already has a cordless phone and is planning to purchase a laptop PC and perhaps a second printer. However, a quick call to her broadband provider has caused her to question the financial feasibility of running new wiring for broadband access in other locations of her home. Perplexed with her problem, Jan talks to some of her co-workers, and one of them mentions wireless. Jan does a little investigation of the wireless LAN products available and decides many of the products are within her budget.

Victorian Institute of Technology www.vit.edu.au CRICOS Provider No. 02044E, RTO No: 20829

The scope of Jan’s solution will be limited by the fact that she already has broadband access installed in her home. She also has instructions for connecting to the corporate LAN. However, she has not checked to see if the wireless home network will affect these instructions. Jan's challenge is that she needs reliable high-speed access to the corporate LAN from the new home office and other convenient locations in the house. She wants to interfere as little as possible with use of the PC in the family room, and she needs her laptop to be inaccessible from the family PC. She would like to have printing capability in the home office. However, her solution must fit within a limited budget. Finally, all equipment that she uses for her solution must be immediately available.

Figure 1. Jan's Site

The proposed solution must consider the following requirements: • Any locations where she wants to use the laptop should not be more than 100 meters (over 300 feet) away from the access point • Interference which may be caused by the cordless phone and microwave • The home network should be cost efficient • The network needs to be secure • Other users on the home network

Assessment 3: Major Assignment

Overview

Weight Length Due date ULO 30% 2500 Words Session 12 Sunday 11:55 PM ULO1-ULO4

Introduction

In this assessment the students are required to plan and design a wireless enterprise network for a hospital. To design the enterprise network, you are required to perform requirement analysis, understand the site, including the infrastructure and any line of sight issues. Since the buildings are medical in nature, you must take special care when deploying wireless communications. Medical equipment may be sensitive to wireless devices and channels. You must pay special attention to limiting radio frequencies in and around the emergency room area to avoid any interference

Task

The IS manager from Jones Hospital has hired you as a consultant to provide a wireless LAN solution for their hospital network. The hospital employs just over 800 employees, working in a complex composed of seven buildings in an urban area. All the buildings are close enough in proximity that employees frequently walk between buildings. The management staff wants to deploy wireless technology in their enterprise network. They have heard that this type of network will save them money as opposed to the current leased line network. They believe that the added mobility will also dramatically increase productivity. Since the staff moves from building to building, it seems to be the right idea to provide them with computer equipment and data that will roam with them. The area that the hospital buildings cover is shown in the Figure 2.

The assessment requires you to plan and design a wireless network for the hospital using any industry tool of your choice.
