Oroonokothis Week We Areleaving Behind The Temperate Often Dismal C ✓ Solved

Oroonoko This week, we are leaving behind the temperate, often dismal climes of England and heading to the steaming tropical jungles of Surinam, a short-lived English colony on South America's Caribbean coast. It may seem like an odd shift, but it is crucial to the development of English culture and literature in the 18th and 19th centuries, because it reflects the move toward colonial enterprise in the 17th century--a move which ultimately resulted in the widespread British Empire, on which the sun supposedly never set. Surinam was not the only English colony in the 17th century--there were Caribbean islands, bits of India, and, of course, a collection of colonies in Eastern North America--but it serves as a kind of melting pot where English values contend with established practices and economic demands.

England was a relative latecomer to New World colonialism, and extractive economies, and the African slave trade on which it was based, were well established in the region by the time the English gained a solid foothold. The English later became major figures in both the slave trade and in slave-based colonial economics, but in the early days, as evidenced by Oroonoko, the idea of chattel slavery was somewhat confusing to the English who were to serve as slave-masters. The story itself, told by a white female narrator (who is, perhaps, a stand-in for Behn herself), is a fairly typical heroic romance, with a larger-than-life hero and his beautiful true love. Here, however, both hero and love are here cast as noble Africans, who fall in love and endure separation on their own continent before being sold as slaves and brought across the Atlantic to labor for English masters.

The narrator herself is something of an objective observer, in that she has no direct interest in the proceeding: she is a temporary resident of Surinam, cast there by fortune and economically independent of the colonial enterprise, so while she is directly engaged in the story in Surinam (and is familiar with the African portion), she is not particularly predisposed to partiality based upon her own circumstances. Thus, while this isn't exactly an overtly abolitionist text, neither does it accept outright the professed justifications for chattel slavery. And chattel slavery, particularly, is the issue here, and features in much of the drama. Here, both slave masters and slaves find themselves wrestling with the ideas and implications of outright ownership, which is itself ultimately quite different from both the feudal model imagined by many of the English and the conquest model imagined by many Africans (most notably Oroonoko himself).

In terms of English literature, this is an excellent example of early novel, and offers some taste of the colonial/exotic themes which appear in later 17th century literature and drama. Further, it introduces the problem of slavery itself--an institution which is held at arms length in England, but which is crucial to the prosperity of the colonial enterprise, and thus to the prosperity of England as a nation.

Assignment Solution: MITS5003 Wireless Networks and Communication

Part I: Encoding and Error Control
a) Data Rate Calculation:
To calculate the data rate required for robot-to-remote controller communication, we break down the status string components:
- Accelerometer reading = 4 bits
- Ultrasound obstacle detection = 6 bits
- Motor functionality = 4 bits
- Battery power level = 2 bits
Total bits per status string = 4 + 6 + 4 + 2 = 16 bits
Since the robot sends a status string every 2 seconds, the data rate (R) can be calculated as follows:
\[
R = \frac{\text{Total bits}}{\text{Time interval}} = \frac{16 \text{ bits}}{2 \text{ seconds}} = 8 \text{ bps}
\]
b) Suitable Encoding Techniques:
1. Manchester Encoding:
- In Manchester encoding, each bit of data is represented by two level transitions. A logical '0' can be represented by a high-to-low transition and a logical '1' by a low-to-high transition. This technique helps to retain synchronization.
2. Differential Manchester Encoding:
- Similar to Manchester encoding but uses the presence or absence of a transition at the beginning of the bit period to indicate a '0' or a '1'. This eliminates DC component problems in the signal.
3. 4B/5B Encoding:
- This method converts 4 bits of data into 5 bits of encoded data. It ensures a sufficient number of transitions in the encoded data to help maintain clock synchronization while reducing the chance of long sequences of 0s or 1s.
c) Status String Representation:
Given the sensor readings:
- Acceleration: 5 m/s² → 0101
- Obstacle distance: 48 cm → 110000
- Motor functionality: all motors working → 1111
- Battery level (75%) → 10
i. The complete status string in binary is:
\[
\text{Status String} = 0101 \ 110000 \ 1111 \ 10 = 0101110000111110
\]
ii. To represent the status string on ASK, FSK, and PSK:
- Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK):
- The '1's in the binary string can be represented by a higher amplitude signal, while '0's can be a lower amplitude signal.
- Frequency Shift Keying (FSK):
- Different frequencies will represent '1' and '0'. For example, a frequency of 1000 Hz might represent '1' while 500 Hz represents '0'.
- Phase Shift Keying (PSK):
- A phase shift of 0 degrees can represent '0', while a phase shift of 180 degrees could represent '1'.
d) Calculating CRC:
To calculate the CRC for the status string derived in c), we would use a polynomial divisor (for instance, x^4 + x + 1). The binary representation will undergo polynomial division which will yield a remainder (the CRC). This process involves XOR operations between the message and the divisor.
As a simplified example:
1. Binary string = 0101110000111110 (message)
2. Polynomial = x^4 + x + 1 (binary = 11001)
3. Perform polynomial long division.
For an exact CRC calculation, please refer to digital communication textbooks like "Digital Communications" by John G. Proakis (Proakis, 2014).
e) Other Error Control and Flow Control Techniques:
Some additional error control techniques Sam can implement include:
- Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ): Protocols that request the sender to resend the data if an error is detected.
- Forward Error Correction (FEC): Redundant data is sent with the original data to help recover errors at the receiver end without needing retransmissions.
- Flow Control Mechanisms: Techniques such as Stop-and-Wait ARQ or Sliding Window protocols ensure that the sender does not overwhelm the receiver with too many packets at once.

Part II: Multiplexing and Multiple Access
a) Multiplexing Techniques:
1. Time Division Multiplexing (TDM):
- In TDM, multiple signals share the same frequency channel but are assigned different time slots. This is often represented as a time graph where each time slot corresponds to a different signal.
2. Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM):
- FDM assigns different frequency bands to each signal within a certain bandwidth. Each channel is transmitted simultaneously, and a diagram shows distinct frequency bands.
3. Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA):
- CDMA allows multiple users to share the same frequency pool via unique spreading codes. This technique can be visualized by showing overlapping codes.
b) The Transition from 3G to 4G and WiMAX:
The main air interface transition from 3G to 4G is marked by the adoption of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM).
- Differences between OFDM and previous techniques:
- Unlike TDM and FDM, OFDM divides the total bandwidth into multiple closely spaced subcarriers that are orthogonal, which minimizes interference.
- Each subcarrier transmits symbols in parallel, greatly increasing spectral efficiency.
- Special Feature: OFDM's ability to resist multipath interference directly addresses ISI, enabling reliable data transmission even in environments with reflections and diffraction.
c) IEEE 802.11ac Wireless LAN:
i. For 48 subscribers and a 40 MHz total bandwidth:
\[
f_b = \frac{40 \, \text{MHz}}{48} \approx 833.33 \, \text{kHz}
\]
ii. The suitable subcarrier bit time can be calculated using:
\[
T = \frac{1}{f_b} \approx 1.2 \, \text{ms}
\]
iii. ISI Mitigation with OFDM:
- OFDM combats ISI by dividing the transmission into multiple narrowband subcarriers. By using a cyclic prefix, OFDM reduces intersymbol interference by converting the multi-path fading problem into a single carrier transmission problem, where each subcarrier can be orthogonally arranged to minimize interference.

Part III: Wi-Fi Network Design for Prime Living
a) Network Design:
Given the office layout with 5 rooms and a lounge, the most effective placement of access points (APs) is crucial. With a 10m range of each AP, ideally, an AP should be placed centrally in each room and one in the lounge to ensure coverage.
b) BSS and ESS Sizes:
- Basic Service Set (BSS): Each room has its AP providing coverage for 8 employees. Lounge has its devices connecting to a different subset. Thus, BSS per room = 1 for 5 rooms.
- Extended Service Set (ESS): The entire office’s APs combine to form the ESS, accommodating both staff and customer devices.
c) Throughput for DS:
- Total users = 5 rooms (8 users each) + lounge (25 users) = 65 users total. Assuming equal access, we calculate available bandwidth divided by total users, ensuring the AP can handle at least 100 Mbps collectively.
d) Recommendation for IEEE Standard:
- IEEE 802.11ac is recommended, as it provides backward compatibility with older standards and supports higher bandwidths (up to 1 Gbps) through MIMO technology.
e) Security Strategies:
- WPA3: Secure the network with the latest encryption standards.
- Use MAC Address Filtering: Limit devices connecting to specific known MAC addresses.
- Regularly change Wi-Fi passwords and employ guest networks to separate customer traffic from internal operations.
