Operating Systems Key Concepts: Process States, PCB, Semaphores & Memory

4. Process State & Process Control Block (PCB)

  • Process States: A process cycles through: New (created) → Ready (waiting in memory) → Running (executing instructions) → Waiting/Blocked (waiting for an event/IO) → Terminated (finished execution).
  • PCB Definition: A dedicated kernel data structure containing all information about a specific process.
  • 5 Essential PCB Fields:
    1. Process State: Current condition (Ready, Running,

Data Link Layer: Framing, ARQ, HDLC, PPP, Channel Access and Ethernet Explained

Unit 2: Data Link Layer, Complete Notes with Solved PYQs

Your exam is today, so the ★ boxes (exam-ready answers) and the PYQ solutions come first in priority. Read the basics only if you have time.

One correction to the earlier numbers: the 1 Mbps / 20 ms question has two valid answers. The textbook method (Forouzan, which the paper’s wording follows) gives 5% and 75%. The formula Tₜ/(Tₜ+RTT) gives 4.76% and 71.4%. Write the textbook method in the exam and add the formula as a one-line remark.
