🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of ARQ in maritime communications and how it operates between a ship station and a coast station • Difference between computerized operations vs. an operator being prompted or assisted by the system • What it means for a coast station to control all ARQ operations versus only running local equipment in a fixed sequence

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does ATOR describe a station where the human operator is led step-by-step by the system, or one where the system runs ARQ operations automatically without needing prompts? • Which option best reflects the idea that the coast station is managing the ARQ link logic (timing, codes, sequence) rather than just having computerized gear? • Look at the choices that mention BFEC versus ARQ. Is ATOR associated with ARQ operations or with a different error-control mode?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choices actually involve ARQ operations (not BFEC). Eliminate any options that don’t match ARQ. • Check which options describe the station controlling all ARQ operations and managing the sequence and codes – that’s closer to a ‘control’ or ‘orchestrating’ role. • Confirm whether ATOR is linked to providing prompts to the operator (human-guided) versus a description that simply says the system is computerized with a rigid sequence. Pick the one that aligns best with operator assistance.
