Assignment Solution
1. Synchronous TDM Frame Size and Output Data Rate
In a Synchronous Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) system, time slots are assigned to each digital source. In this scenario, we have 10 digital sources with a data rate of 500 kbps each. Each output slot carries 4 bits from each digital source, plus an additional bit for synchronization.
Calculating Frame Size:
Each digital source contributes 4 bits, and with 10 sources, this gives:
\[
\text{Data from sources} = 10 \times 4 = 40 \text{ bits}
\]
Including the synchronization bit:
\[
\text{Total Frame Size} = 40 \text{ bits} + 1 \text{ bit} = 41 \text{ bits}
\]
Calculating Output Data Rate:
The output data rate of the TDM can be computed by combining the data rate of all sources. Since each source has a rate of 500 kbps, for 10 sources, the total input rate is:
\[
\text{Total Input Rate} = 10 \times 500 \text{ kbps} = 5000 \text{ kbps}
\]
The output to the TDM must match the total input rate, and with a frame size of 41 bits, the output data rate can be sustained at:
\[
\text{Output Data Rate} = \frac{\text{Number of bits per frame}}{\text{Frame Duration}} = 5000 \text{ kbps}
\]
Using these calculations, the output data rate remains:
- Frame Size: 41 bits
- Output Data Rate: 5000 kbps
2. Upper and Lower Bound of Data Rate at Each Input Channel
Given a synchronous TDM multiplexer with output frames of 18 bits and an output link rate of 36 Mbps, we can divide the available output bandwidth among the three input channels.
Calculating the Bit Rate per Input Channel:
The output of the multiplexer is 36 Mbps, which corresponds to:
\[
\text{Frame Rate} = \frac{\text{Output Rate}}{\text{Frame Size}} = \frac{36 \text{ Mbps}}{18 \text{ bits}} = 2 \times 10^6 \text{ frames/sec}
\]
Each frame consists of 18 bits, requiring 18 bits per frame to carry data. The maximum capacity of data per frame would depend on the stuffing process, which allows for variability in input channel data rates.
Upper Bound:
If one input channel sends maximum possible data without stuffing, the upper bound can be stated as:
\[
\text{Upper Bound for Channel} = \text{Output Rate} = 36 \text{ Mbps}
\]
Lower Bound:
In the worse case where the stuffing is necessary, the lower bound must consider idle slots. So, distributing across three channels with a possibility of stuffing, we obtain:
\[
\text{Lower Bound for Each Channel} = \frac{36 \text{ Mbps}}{3} = 12 \text{ Mbps}
\]
Thus, we derive:
- Upper Bound: Each input channel can utilize up to 36 Mbps.
- Lower Bound: Each input channel can use at least 12 Mbps.
3. Generating Random Numbers using the Viterbi Algorithm
To generate random numbers using the polynomial \(x^3 + x^2 + x + 1\), we need to analyze its properties.
To determine if the polynomial is primitive, we must ensure the degree polynomial produces sequences of maximum length \(2^n - 1\). For a polynomial of degree 3, it should generate \(7\) states which indicates that the cycle length can indeed produce random sequences.
Following the Viterbi algorithm, the sequence initially derives from the all-zero state and transitions through states based on feedback paths dictated by the feedback polynomial. Running the algorithm will yield sequences but confirming primitivity typically requires complex evaluations or simulations.
For practical application, simulations or computation through a coding environment can yield the exact sequence.
4. Bit Error Rate Predictions
a) Probability of Receiving a 1000-bit Frame Without Error:
Given a Bit Error Rate (BER) of \(10^{-6}\):
The probability \(P\) of a frame of length \(N = 1000\) bits being received correctly can be factorially computed using:
\[
P(\text{No Error}) = (1 - \text{BER})^{N} = (1 - 10^{-6})^{1000}
\]
Utilizing the exponential approximation:
\[
P(\text{No Error}) \approx e^{-N \cdot \text{BER}} = e^{-1000 \cdot 10^{-6}} = e^{-0.001} \approx 0.999001
\]
b) Probability of Transmitting 3 Frames Until Acknowledgment:
In a Stop-and-wait protocol, after sending the frame, if no error occurs, the acknowledgment can be received. The sender here needs 3 successful frames. So the probability calculations can be broken into individual successes across 3 frames:
\[
P(A) = (1 - \text{BER}) = 0.999999
\]
Thus, the probability that three frames are successfully received in succession:
\[
P(\text{3 Frames}) = P(A)^3 = (0.999999)^3 \approx 0.999997
\]
Conclusion
The above calculations and estimates reveal critical networking parameters and probabilities associated with TDM multiplexing and error management in communication protocols. These metrics are paramount in evaluating the efficiency and reliability of network systems.
