Problem Solving (3 items x 10 points) //tp 10/27

1. There is a data that has a file size of 26Mb with an ethernet overhead of 8 Mb. Find
the Total amount of data to be transferred and Throughput, if there is an amount of
data loss of 15 Mbps due to errors and acknowledgments. (2 items x 5 points)
2. Assume that the distance between the sender and the receiver is 5000 km and that
light travels at 1.7 x 108 m/s. What is the propagation time and the transmission time
for a 1.44 MB message if the bandwidth of the network is 3 Mbps? (2 items x 5

3. An analog signal has a bit rate of 36000 bps and a baud rate of 1200 baud. How
many data elements are carried by each signal element? How many signal elements
do we need? (2 items x 5 points)

Answers:
1.
a.) Total amount of data to be transferred
BW = 26Mb + 8Mb
BW = 34Mb

b.) Throughput
T = BW − data loss
T = 34− 15
T = 19Mbps

2.
Distance: 5000km
Speed of light: 1.7 x 108 m/s
Size: 1.44mb
BW: 3Mbps = 3x106 bps
Propagation time = 5000km x 1000 / 1.7 x 108 m/s = 2.94ms
Transmission time = (1.44 x 106 ) x 8 / 3x106 = 38.4ms

3.
Analog signal bit rate: 36000bps
Baud rate: 1200 baud
S = N x 1/ r
R = N/S = 36000/1200
r= 30 bits/baud
r= log2L
L = 2^r = 2^30
L = 1073741824 signal elements
