Question

Transcribed Image Text:Let's say each user has a 500 kbps need and is online for just 25% of the time. With packet
switching, how many people can we accommodate on an 8 Mbps connection with
probability of at least 0.9? How much of an improvement does statistical multiplexing make
in this case?

- For the experiment, let’s assume that the concrete distance between Canterbury and London is 60miles (or ca. 100km) and our pigeons fly at a speed of 60 miles per hour (or ca. 100km/h). (ii) With current technology and considering the weight a pigeon can carry, we are able to send 2TB of data on a USB stick with a pigeon. On a 4G mobile network, we can likely send about 2MB/s. Which of the two transport media would have the shorter message transmission time for a 2TB message? (We again assume pigeons to be perfectly reliable).Briefly explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardWhat is the length of a bit in a channel with a propagation speed of 2 x 108 m/s if the channel bandwidth is 1 Mbps? 10 Mbps? 100 Mbps?arrow_forwardYou are designing the Wi-Fi for a classroom of 20 students and all students are using Wi-Fi at the same time. The protocol efficiency is 40% and the channel utilization is 80%. Each students uses a throughput of 2 Mbps. What is the minimum PHY rate requirement for the radio in Mbps?arrow_forward
