Cs601 Assignment No 1 Sp23

The document contains the answers to 3 questions regarding data transmission times for different packet, file, and frame sizes over channels with varying bandwidths. Question 1 has 3 parts that are answered by calculating transmission times using the formula: Transmission Time = Size of Data / Bandwidth of Channel. Question 2 asks to identify the proper transmission mode for different devices such as FM radio, video conferencing, TV broadcast, and walkie-talkies.

Question No. 1

Question No. 1(a) What is the transmission time of a packet sent by a station if the length of the packet
is 1 MB and the bandwidth of the channel is 200 Kbps?

Answer:

To calculate the transmission time of a packet, we can use the formula:

Transmission Time = Packet Length / Bandwidth

Given: Packet Length = 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes Bandwidth = 200 Kbps = 200,000 bits per second

First, we need to convert the packet length from bytes to bits: Packet Length (in bits) = Packet Length (in

bytes) * 8 = 1,000,000 bytes * 8 = 8,000,000 bits

Now, we can calculate the transmission time: Transmission Time = Packet Length (in bits) / Bandwidth =
8,000,000 bits / 200,000 bits per second = 40 seconds Therefore, the transmission time of a packet sent
by a station would be 40 seconds, assuming there is no additional overhead or latency in the
transmission process.

Question No. 1(b)

There is a file of size 2 MB. How long does it take to download this file using a 1-Mbps channel?

Answer:

To calculate the time it takes to download a file using a given channel bandwidth, we can use the
formula:

Download Time = File Size / Bandwidth

Given: File Size = 2 MB = 2,000,000 bytes Bandwidth = 1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bits per second

First, we need to convert the file size from bytes to bits: File Size (in bits) = File Size (in bytes) * 8 =
2,000,000 bytes * 8 = 16,000,000 bits
Now, we can calculate the download time: Download Time = File Size (in bits) / Bandwidth = 16,000,000
bits / 1,000,000 bits per second = 16 seconds

Therefore, it would take approximately 16 seconds to download a file of size 2 MB using a 1-Mbps
channel.

Question No. 1(c)

If the bandwidth of the channel is 5 Kbps, how long does it take to send a frame of 100,000 bits out of
this device?

Ans:

To calculate the time it takes to send a frame of a given size through a channel with a specified
bandwidth, we can use the formula:

Transmission Time = Frame Size / Bandwidth

Given: Frame Size = 100,000 bits Bandwidth = 5 Kbps = 5,000 bits per second.

Now, we can calculate the transmission time: Transmission Time = Frame Size / Bandwidth = 100,000
bits / 5,000 bits per second = 20 seconds

Therefore, it would take approximately 20 seconds to send a frame of 100,000 bits through a channel
with a bandwidth of 5 Kbps.

Question No. 2 Marks: 5

Identify the proper type of transmission mode for each of the following devices.

Device Transmission Mode


FM Radio Broadcast
Video Conferencing Point-to-Point or Multipoint (depending on the
number of participants and network
infrastructure)
TV broadcast Broadcast
Walkie-Talkie Half-Duplex or Simplex (typically allows
communication in one direction at a time)
