Task1:
In recent years, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) usage and applications continue to expand in many sectors ranging from corporate business, healthcare, manufacturing, and educations. Multiple reasons account for it, such as mobility, flexible networking, low cost, installation flexibility, and ease of installation. In addition, these networks can be setup quickly with minimum efforts and run when there is no available wired infrastructure. However, regardless of the aforementioned benefits most existing WLANs face security threats and mobility management challenges unlike in wired network. For instance, the electromagnetic signals used in the WLANs for the reception and dissemination of data can create a risk where the network can be hacked. Given the background, provide a detailed report not more than 3,000 words on the following aspects of the WLANs.

a) Evaluate WLANs security threats, risks and challenges
b) Countermeasures for the above-mentioned security threats, risks and challenges

Task 2:

Broadband wireless networks offers and alternative solution to the problem of information accessing in the areas where wired connection is not practical or economical. In addition, a major driving force towards the broadband wireless network adoption is due to the demand of accessing corporate network remotely form any place, anywhere and anytime. Further, the people want communication and the sharing of informations by eliminating the limitation of distance and location. Commonly the broadband wireless networks technologies can be classified into two types named (1) fixed and (2) mobile wireless broadband. The fixed broadband wireless network technology, provide internet connectivity to the user specific or permanent locations such like home and office. While in comparison in the mobile wireless broadband, the services are provided via smart phones and other wireless devices at any place at any time. With respect to the above extract, provide a detailed report on the following aspects of the broadband wireless network.

a) Critically evaluate the fixed and mobile broadband wireless network
b) Elaborate the strength and weakness of the fixed and mobile broadband wireless network

Library or use internet or computer magazines or any other source.

Late Submission Policy
Penalty for late report submission – 5% of the obtained marks for the assessment will be deducted for each working day.
Document submitted beyond a period of one week after the last date of submission will not be accepted and will be marked as zero for that assessment.

D. Amount of similar material

a. The total amount of similar material in any form of student work from all sources put together should not exceed 30% (including direct quotations).

b. The total amount of quoted material (direct quotations) in any form of student work from all sources put together should not exceed 10%.

c. The total amount of similar material in any form of student work from a single source should not exceed 7 percent. However, cases having a similarity of less than 7 percent in such cases may still be investigated by the faculty depending on the seriousness of the case.

d. If faculty member find enough merit in the case of a student work with a similarity (with a single source) of more than 7 percent as not a case of plagiarism, the faculty member should provide detailed comments/remarks to justify the case.

Plagiarism Policy
As per college policy, any form of violation of academic integrity will invite severe penalty. Plagiarized documents, in part or in whole, submitted by the students will be subject to this policy.
A. First offence of plagiarism

a. A student will be allowed to re-submit the assignment once, within a maximum period of one week. However, a penalty of deduction of 25% of the marks obtained for the resubmitted work will be imposed.

b. Mark deduction: When the work is resubmitted, the marking will be undertaken according to the marking criteria. In compliance with this policy, the 25% deduction is then made on the marks obtained. For example, in an assessment that carries a maximum of 50 marks, suppose a student were to obtain 30 marks for the resubmitted work, the final marks for that assessment will be 22.5 (after deducting 25% of the marks actually obtained for the resubmitted work).

d. If the re-submitted work is also detected to be plagiarized, then the work will be awarded a zero.

e. Resubmission of the work beyond the maximum period of one week will not be accepted and the work will be awarded a zero.

C. Guidelines

a. Type 1: In case plagiarism is detected in any component or part submission (submitted at different times) of one assessment (assignment), the deduction in marks will be applicable for the whole assessment (assignment), even if only the component or part submission alone needs to be resubmitted.

b. Type 2: In case plagiarism is detected in a group assessment, all students of the group will be considered as having committed an act of plagiarism irrespective of whether plagiarism is on account of the act of all or a few or only one member. The policy will then be applied to all students.

c. Type 3: Combination of Type 1 and Type 2: In case plagiarism is detected in any component or part submission (submitted at different times) of a group assessment (assignment), the deduction in marks will be applicable for the whole assessment (assignment), even if only the component or part submission alone needs to be resubmitted. All students of the group would be considered as having committed an act of plagiarism irrespective of whether plagiarism is on account of the act of all or a few or only one member. The policy will then be applied to all the students of the group.
d. Type 4: Variation of Type 1 and Type 2: In cases where the assessment consists of components or part submissions that could be a group assessment component (e.g. group assignment) and an individual assessment component (e.g. individual reflection), the following will be applicable:

1. If plagiarism is detected in the group assessment component, all students of the group will be considered as having committed an act of plagiarism, irrespective of whether plagiarism is on account of the act of all or a few or only one member. The policy will then be applied to all students of the group. In such cases the group assessment component will be resubmitted as per the policy.

2. If plagiarism is detected in the individual assessment component, the individual assessment component will be resubmitted as per the policy. The policy will then be applied to that student alone.
