Explanation of Solution

Forward Error Correction (FEC):

  • The process of adding redundant information to the original packet stream is called as FEC.
  • It is done to obtain and reconstruct the exact version of the lost packets.

Two FEC schemes:

First scheme:

  • The scheme is used to send a redundant encoded chunk after every n chunks.
  • The redundant chunks can be obtained by making the exclusive OR-ing the original chunks.
  • It is capable of reconstructing the packets that are lost if any one packet is lost.

Second Scheme:

  • The scheme sends a lower resolution audio stream of low-bit rate as redundant data along with the original stream of data.
  • Here the audio stream is considered as the redundant data with low bit rate...

2. Consider a bus-topology network with five stations. A reservation access method is used. Each station has infinite data to transmit. Each reservation slot has 10 microseconds (note that 1 microsecond = 106 second). For each station, one data transmission sends 1000 bits. The transmission rate over the medium is 10 Mbps. For a station, which is its throughput (in unit "Mbps")?
14. The link length is 2000km, the data transmission rate is 1kbit/s, and the data that needs to be sent is 100bit. The data propagation rate on this link is 2x10 m/s. Suppose we can see the bits transmitted on the link, try to draw the bits on the line we see: a) When 100bit is just sent. b) After another 0.05s
Efficiency Principle:Ethernet V1 access protocol was designed to run at 10 Mbps over 2.5 Km using 1500 Byte packets. This same protocol needs to be used at 100 Mbps at the same efficiency (utilization). What distance can it cover if the frame size is not changed? (Note: be careful with the units.
