Numerical Problems from OSI Reference Model and Physical Layer

1. Suppose a file of size 100 KB (kilo bytes) has been send to a destination host through an intermediate
router. Assume that the network has been configured with OSI reference model, and each layer introduces
a delay of 1 ms. A coaxial cable is connected between source to router and router to destination. The
length of cable between source to router is 1000 kms and router to destination is 1500 km. The signal
speed inside the cable is about 2,00,000 km/sec and it supports the data rate of 1000 kbps. Determine the
time required to reach the file from source to destination.

2. Design a FDM scheme for multiplexing 10 voice channels. Each voice channel has spectral components
up to 4 KHz. Suggest the appropriate carrier frequencies and the overall bandwidth required to carry out
the FDM.

3. Draw the encoded signal waveforms for the data bits 11010110 using (i) NRZ-L, (ii) NRZ- I, (iii) RZ,
(iv) Manchester and (v) Differential Manchester coding schemes. Comment the above coding schemes
w.r.t (i) DC component, (ii) synchronization, (iii) bandwidth, (iv) error detection and (v) complexity.

5. A cable operator uses one of the cable TV channels to provide data transmission for each resident. What
are the possible baud rate and data rate offered to each resident, if the operator uses a 128-QAM
modulation technique. (Hint: Bandwidth required for the transmission of one TV channel is approximately
6 MHz)

6. Consider a voice signal has prominent frequencies up to 3.5 KHz, and having the amplitude ranging from
-5 V to +5 V. Choose an uniform quantizer with a step size of 0.5 V. An even parity check scheme is
employed for error detection. Thirty such voice channels are mixed using synchronous TDM (sync-TDM).
The output frame of the synchronous TDM consists of single sample from each voice signal. For frame
synchronization, two bytes of control information will be placed at the beginning of each frame. (a)

data rate for encoding the voice channel, with and without error detection ?, (c) What will be the output
Sync-TDM frame length in micro seconds ? (d) Determine the number of bits present in the output sync-
TDM frame. (e) Determine the output data rate of the sync-TDM. (f) What will be the effective channel
utilization, if all channels have enough data for transmission ? (g) If 40% of the channels have no data
for transmission (on average) at any point of time, what will be the channel utilization in the case of (i)
sync-TDM and (ii) statistical TDM ?

will be performed using virtual circuits. The established virtual circuit for transferring the given file is as
follows: Kharagpur - Kolkota – Delhi – Moscow – Frankfurt – Paris – London – New York – Chicago –
California. Assume that the network architecture follows the OSI reference model, and each layer
contributes a delay of 2 ms to perform its functionalities. The total path length given by the virtual circuit
is about 15000 Km, and each link offer a data rate of 10 Mbps. Propagation delay will be roughly about 5
µ s / Km . For transmission of the file, it is split into 1000 pieces and the control information (headers)
appended by all the layers together yields 10% of the actual information. Determine the following delay
components, which contribute to the overall delivery time. (i) Transmission time, (ii) Total delay
contributed by processing at the layers, (iii) Propagation delay and (iv) Overall delivery time

11. A high quality image requires a spatial resolution of about 0.002 inch, which means that about 500 pixels

color image through the following channels: (a) Twisted pair with a band width of 10 MHz, (b) Coaxial
cable with a band width of 100 MHz and (c) Optical fiber with a band width of 1000 MHz The image is
transmitted using Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ) coding scheme by representing two bits per period. For the
desired error performance, minimum of 10 harmonics are needed to be transmitted.
