Q.4. Data is to be transmitted over the access line to a PSTN using a transmission scheme with eight levels per signaling element. If
the bandwidth of the PSTN is 3000Hz, determine the Nyquist maximum data transfer rate.
Solution:
Here, Bandwidth, B = 3000 Hz.
Level of signaling, M = 8.

Nyquist maximum transfer rate,


C = 2 B log 2 M  2  3000  log 2 8  18000bps. bps.

Q.5. Assuming that a circuit through a PSTN has a bandwidth of 3000Hz and a typical signal-to-noise ratio of 20dB, determine the
maximum theoretical information rate that can be achieved.
Solution:
Here, Bandwidth, B = 3000 Hz.
SNRdB = 20.

We have,
SNR dB = 10log10SNR
 20 = 10log10SNR
Hence, SNR = 100.

Maximum theoretical information rate,


C = B log 2 (1  SNR)  3000  log 2 (1  100)  19963bps.

Q.6. Assuming a signal propagation delay in the fiber of 5μs per 1km, determine the latency of the following FDDI ring configuration
in both time and bits for a usable bit rate of 100Mbps.
(i) 2 km ring with 20 stations.
(ii) 100 km ring with 500 stations.
Solution:
We have,
Ring Latency, T1 = Propagation Delay + Number of Stations × Station Latency = Tp + N × Ts

where, Tp = Propagation Delay.


N = Number of Stations.
Ts = Station Latency.
For FDDI ring,
Ts = Station Latency = 1μs per ring.
Tp = Propagation Delay = 5μs per ring.

(i) T1 = 2km ×5μsec+20×1μsec=30μsec=30×10-6 ×100×106 bits=3000bits .


(ii) T1 = 100km ×5μsec+500×1μsec=1000μsec=1000×10-6 ×100×106 bits=100000bits .
Q.7. Determine the maximum obtainable throughput and the maximum access delay for the following two ring configurations of
FDDI ring. Assume a TTRT of 4 ms has been chosen for each configuration.
(i) 20 km ring with 200 stations.
(ii) 100 km ring with 500 stations.
Solution:
We have,
n(TTRT-T1 )
Maximum available throughput,U max =
n  TTRT+T1
Maximum access delay,A max = (n  1)  TTRT  2T1
where,
n = Number of stations.
T1 = Ring latency.
TTRT = Target token rotation time.

The ring is FDDI ring,


Hence,
Tp = 5μsec per 1km.
Ts = 1μsec per ring.

(i) T1 = 20km ×5μsec+200×1μsec=300μsec=0.3msec


200×(4msec-0.3msec)
U max =  0.92
200×4msec+0.3msec
A max = (200-1)×4msec+2×0.3msec = 796.6msec.

(ii) T1 = 100km ×5μsec+500×1μsec=1000μsec=1msec .


500×(4msec-1msec)
U max =  0.75
500×4msec+1msec
A max = (500-1)×4msec+2×1msec = 1.998sec.
