![Page 4: Lecture Note on Transmission Basic. Direct Connections in Communication Networks Building Blocks –links: coax cable, optical fiber... –nodes: general-purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e525503460f94b47a5b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Connectivity Examples
• Internet: – Best-effort (no performance guarantees)– Packet-by-packet
• Point-to-point link: – Always-connected– Fixed bandwidth– Fixed delay – Zero-jitter
![Page 5: Lecture Note on Transmission Basic. Direct Connections in Communication Networks Building Blocks –links: coax cable, optical fiber... –nodes: general-purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e525503460f94b47a5b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Delays in Networks• Propagation time or propagation delay, tprop
– Time required for a signal or waveform to propagate (or move) from one point to another point. It is defined as d/v where d is the distance between the two points and v is the velocity of the signal.
– Electromagnetic signal sent through space from the Sun to the Earth.• Velocity is the speed of light, 3 × 108 meters per second.• Say distance is 148.8 million kilometers.• Propagation time is (148.8 /3) × 109 / 108 = 496 seconds.
• Transmission time, ttrans
– Links or channels for digital transmission are defined in bits/second or bps. This is called the Data Rate, R, and is the rate at which the transmitter can push bits onto the transmission line. Transmission time is the time it takes to send some number, say B bits, or B/R.
– What is the transmission time for a packet of 1500 bytes on a 10 Megabit link.
• 1500 × 8 / 107 = 1.2 milliseconds.
• Queuing time or queuing delay– Any time related to processing or waiting of packets in buffers.
![Page 6: Lecture Note on Transmission Basic. Direct Connections in Communication Networks Building Blocks –links: coax cable, optical fiber... –nodes: general-purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e525503460f94b47a5b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Representation of Information• Block Oriented Information: specific length blocks
– Text files– Fax documents
• Example: A4 Page• 200 pixels per inch (horizontal) by 100 pixels per inch (vertical) requires 256
kilobytes prior to compression (a pixel is black or white). Compression reduces by a factor of 8 to 16.
– JPEG color images• 8 x 10 inch photo uncompressed is about 38.4 Mbytes before compression
and about 1.2 – 8 Mbytes after compression.– Note that each of 3 colors (RGB) requires one byte to represent the value
• Stream Oriented Information: continuous stream of data– Voice PCM: 4 kilohertz voice is 64 kbps, standard voice channel– Voice ADPCM, compression technique reduces rate to 16-32 kbps– Audio MPEG audio MP3 compression– Video MPEG 2
• 1920 x 1080 pixel frames at 30 frames /second requires about 1.5 Gbps (includes 20bits/pixel and vertical/horizontal blanking and embedded audio) uncompressed is reduced to 19-38 Mbps compressed

A4 Fax Document Standard
1/16 m2, 5 grams / page typically
210 millimeters x 297 millimeters (slightly bigger than 8 1/2 by 11)
![Page 8: Lecture Note on Transmission Basic. Direct Connections in Communication Networks Building Blocks –links: coax cable, optical fiber... –nodes: general-purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e525503460f94b47a5b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Data Compression Techniques
• Why data compression: reduce amount of storage space required to represent the document– Compression ratio: size of uncompressed / size of compressed
– Lossless data compression• Example: run length encodings
– Sequences of likely symbols encoded into runs
– 25 0’s follows by a 1 is encoded as a fixed m-bit code word
– Example: encode 000000000000100001001 using a 3 bit code
– Lossy data compression• Compressed file is an approximation of the original data
• Better compression ratio is achieved.
• For example, MP3 can achieve a factor of 14 reduction.
• Example: unencoded MP3 requires about 1.4 Mbits/sec (2 channels, 16 bits per sample, at a rate of 44100 samples per second). Thus, 1 hour is about 317 MB (about ½ of an audio CD and 1/14 of common DVDs) Through MP3 compression, we can compress to say 128 kbits /second.

Analog Information
• Based on a wave that varies continuously with time
• Example– Sound
– Electromagnetic radiation
• Periodic signal repeats over time
• Representation of a analog signals – Amplitude versus time
– Frequency representation
– Representation as sums of sines and cosines
![Page 10: Lecture Note on Transmission Basic. Direct Connections in Communication Networks Building Blocks –links: coax cable, optical fiber... –nodes: general-purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e525503460f94b47a5b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Frequency Spectrum• Frequency: cycles per second (Hertz) of a sinusoidal signal• Bandwidth: usable range of frequencies high – low: f2 – f1
• Typical telephone voice channel is 4k HzSome approximate frequencies300 Hz – 20,000 Hz human voice / sound50 kHz navigation (ships, submarines, etc)1 MHz AM radio (20 k Hz channels)10 MHz CB, short wave100 MHz FM radio, TV1 GHz UHF TV, mobile telephony10 GHz amateur satellite100 GHz upper microwave – many uses (up to about 300 GHz)10 T Hz = 1013 Hz Infrared, 1015 Hz Visible light, 1018 X-rays, . . . .
![Page 11: Lecture Note on Transmission Basic. Direct Connections in Communication Networks Building Blocks –links: coax cable, optical fiber... –nodes: general-purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e525503460f94b47a5b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Bandwidth Versus Channel Rate
• Shannon's theorem: maximum bit rate for noisy channel C = Bandwidth * log2 (1 + S/N)
• 4 kHz voice channel equates to 56 or 64 k bits / second.
– This is achievable by modern modems
• Some sample bit rates
Radio LAN in the 2.4GHz band: 2 Mbps
Fast Ethernet: 100 Mbps, Gigabit Ethernet,
Optical fiber transmission: 2.4 – 9.6 Gbps over one wavelength
![Page 12: Lecture Note on Transmission Basic. Direct Connections in Communication Networks Building Blocks –links: coax cable, optical fiber... –nodes: general-purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e525503460f94b47a5b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Multiplexing
• Multiplexing is fundamentally sharing some amount of bandwidth by many different users, channels, etc.– FDM: Frequency Division Multiplexing: dividing up the frequency
spectrum into multiple channels, each channel dedicated to a particular use
– TDM: Time Division Multiplexing: using the entire frequency bandwidth allotted but uses “logical slots” to transmit different channels at specific points of relative time within a logical frame that is transmitted.
• A digital telephone speech signal (corresponding to a 4 kHz channel) is obtained as follows– Sample the signal at twice the maximum frequency or 8000 times a
second
– Quantize the sampled value ( the amplitude of the signal) to 7 bits or 128 different value.
– This gives a bit rate of 56 kbits/second
![Page 13: Lecture Note on Transmission Basic. Direct Connections in Communication Networks Building Blocks –links: coax cable, optical fiber... –nodes: general-purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e525503460f94b47a5b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
T-1 Carrier System
• T-1 was developed to carry digitally multiplexed channels between central offices using TDM.
• T-1 multiplexed 24 voice channels in a T-1 frame as follows
Channel 1 Channel 2 . . . . . . Channel 24
7 bit data,
1 bit control
1 bit framing
Sampling rate: 1 frame is sent every 125 µsec (8000 frames /sec)
8 bits / channel x 24 channels + 1 bit = 193 bits per frame.
Therefore, 193 bits / 125 µsec = 1.544 Mbps
This standard signaling rate became known as DS-1 (digital signal 1)
![Page 14: Lecture Note on Transmission Basic. Direct Connections in Communication Networks Building Blocks –links: coax cable, optical fiber... –nodes: general-purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e525503460f94b47a5b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
DS Hierarchy
• DS-1: basic block, 1.544 Mbits/sec
• DS-2: 6.312 Mbits/sec (4 DS-1 or 96 voice, plus some control)
• DS-3: 44.736 Mbits/sec
• International standards (based on the ITU hierarchy developed in Europe) is somewhat different– E1: 2.048 Mbits/sec supporting 30 voice channels at 64 kbits/sec each
with two channels for control.

SONET Digital Hierarchy
• OC-1 51.84 Mbps• OC-3 155.52 Mbps• OC-12 622.08 Mbps• OC-48 2.48832 Gbps• OC-192 9.95328 Gbps• OC-768 40 Gpbs
• Compare to the evolution of standard rates for Ethernet– 10 Mbps– 100 Mbps– 1 Gbps– 10 Gbps– 40 Gbps
![Page 16: Lecture Note on Transmission Basic. Direct Connections in Communication Networks Building Blocks –links: coax cable, optical fiber... –nodes: general-purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e525503460f94b47a5b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)
• Combining multiple wavelengths over the same optical fiber
• For example 16 wavelengths, each at 2.5 Gbps can provide a rate of about 40 Gbps. (OC-48 x 16)
• Using optical add drop multiplexers
• Optical switches
• A lightpath is a logical connection from a start node to an end node going through intermediate nodes.– Same wavelength throughout
– Reallocating of a wavelength at intermediate nodes (switching)
– Protection paths
– Wavelength switching capabilities

Serial Transfer (Bit Serial)
SOURCE DEST
Transfer, for example, an octet a single bit at a time using a fixed time interval for each bit. A clock signal helps determine when to sample the bit.
Why use a serial line? As distances increase, multiple wire costs increase, complexity of line drivers and receivers increase, etc.
Thus, to send a character, first serialize the bits, send over the line, and then receive the bits, and convert back to character.

Communication Modes
• Simplex: Data is transmitted in one direction only
• Half duplex: Alternating exchange of data between two devices. Need to switch between sender and receiver mode
• Full duplex: Data can be exchanged in both directions simultaneously
![Page 20: Lecture Note on Transmission Basic. Direct Connections in Communication Networks Building Blocks –links: coax cable, optical fiber... –nodes: general-purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e525503460f94b47a5b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Determining Received Bit Pattern
Determine• Start of each bit (or center of bit). Bit or clock synchronization
• Start and end of the unit, a character, a byte, etc. Byte synchronization
• Start and end of message unit or frame. Frame synchronization
![Page 21: Lecture Note on Transmission Basic. Direct Connections in Communication Networks Building Blocks –links: coax cable, optical fiber... –nodes: general-purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e525503460f94b47a5b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Asynchronous Transmission• Receiver and transmitter clocks are not synchronized. They are
independent. Receiver resynchronizes at the start of each unit, say a character.
• To determine beginning of character, have a “start” bit
• To be sure about end of character, have a stop bit.
• Know how many bits are in a character, say 8.
• Clock frequency for sampling is usually 16 times bit rate. Receiver attempts to sample in the center of the bit.
• Start bit is usually 1 bit long and stop bits are often 1, 1.5, or 2 bits
(idle) start 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 stop (idle)
![Page 22: Lecture Note on Transmission Basic. Direct Connections in Communication Networks Building Blocks –links: coax cable, optical fiber... –nodes: general-purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e525503460f94b47a5b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Synchronous Transmission
• Sender and receiver clocks are synchronized (often through the sending of a clock signal on a control line)
• Start and stop bits are not used. Characters can be sent one after the other without the overhead of start and stop bits.
• Framing is still important.

Video Transmission
• Compression schemes are essential because of very large amounts of information to be transmitted. (e.g.) 8-bit PCM applied to 6-MHz TV signal results in 96 Mb/s
• Compression schemes - Compression in space: transform coding, sub-band coding - Compression in time: motion estimation/compensation
![Page 33: Lecture Note on Transmission Basic. Direct Connections in Communication Networks Building Blocks –links: coax cable, optical fiber... –nodes: general-purpose](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e525503460f94b47a5b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Failure : departure from specified performance
• Failure rate ( ): average rate at which failures can be expected to occur throughout useful life of equipment
• Reliability (R(t)): probability that equipment will perform without failure for a period of time t given by

maintained and usable service is provided.
• Quality is considered only when the circuit is available and the quality parameters commonly used include bit error rate, timing slips, jitters, and delay.
• Design objectives (DO) vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) standards of performance.
DO=O&M + Margin
• Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF): ratio of total operating time divided by the number of failures in the same period.

Redundant equipment
• MTBO1: If the equipment consists of n identical units, each with the same MTBF, for which at least r must be operable for the system to be operable, the first type of outage is given by
where the sensing of a failure and resulting switchover is itself to occur within failure.

Error Objectives Error parameters
• Bit Error Rate (BER): ratio of erred bits to the total transmitted bits in a measurement interval
• Error-Free Second (EFS) or Error Seconds (ES): percentage or probability of one-second measurement intervals that are error free (EFS) or in error (ES)
• Error-Free Blocks (EFB): percentage or probability of data blocks that are error free.

Bit Count Integrity
Definitions• Bit Count Integrity (BCI): preservation of precise number of bits (or
characters or frames) that are originated in a message or unit of time.
• Slip: loses of BCI caused by a shift of a digital signal.
Performance Impact of One SlipService Potential Impact
Encrypted Text Encrypted key must be resent
Video Freeze frame for several seconds - Loud pop on audio
Digital Data Deletion or repetition of data - Possible reframe
Facsimile Deletion of 4-8 scan lines – Drop call
Voice Band Data Transmission errors for 0.01 to 2 sec. – Drop call
Voice Possible click

Jitter
Definitions• Jitter: short-term variation of sampling instant from its intended position in time or phase
• Wander (or drift): long-term variation of sampling instant fro its intended position in time or phrase
Transmission impairment• By jitter:
* Degradation in system error rate performance
* Slips
* Distortion in the recovered analog signal
• By wander:
* Buffer overflow (fill) or underflow (empty)

Sources of jitter
• Regenerative repeaters: imperfect clock recovery process• Digital multiplexers: insertion/deletion of overhead of
stuffing bits
Sources of wander
• Oscillator instability• Propagation delay variation
