1. Chapter 2 The Physical Layer

2. Data Communication Information can be transmitted on wires by varying some physical property such as voltage , current or light . By representing the value of this voltage or current as a single-valued function of time , f ( t ), we can model the behavior of the signal and analyze it mathematically. transmitter receiver bits bits transmission medium electric current light electromagnetic waves computer 1 computer 2

3. Any reasonably behaved periodic function, g ( t ), with period T can be constructed by summing a (possibly infinite) number of sines and cosines: Signal Analysis Using Fourier Series where f =1/ T is the fundamental frequency and a n and b n are the sine and cosine amplitudes of the n th harmonics .

5. One harmonic Two harmonics Digital Signal Synthesis

6. Four harmonics Eight harmonics

7. Maximum Data Rate or Capacity of a Communication Channel 1. Noiselss Channel Case : Nyquists Theorem Maximum capacity ( C ) = 2 H log 2 V bits/sec bandwidth number of signal levels

8. If random noise is present, the situation deteriorates rapidly. The amount of thermal noise present is measured by the ratio of the signal power to the noise power, called the signal-to-noise ratio ( S / N ). 2. Noisy Channel Case: Shannons Theorem Maximum Capacity ( C ) = H log 2 (1+ S / N ) Maximum Data Rate or Capacity of a Communication Channel

9. signal noise signal + noise signal noise signal + noise High SNR Low SNR SNR = Average Signal Power Average Noise Power SNR (dB) = 10 log 10 SNR t t t t t t

10. Numerical Example 1: 1. Noiseless channel case: Bandwidth H = 3000 Hz Voltage Levels V = 4 ( two binary bits) Then, C = 2H log 2 (V) = 2 * 3000 log 2 (4) bps. = 12000 bps. 2. Noisy channel case: Bandwidth H = 3000 Hz Voltage Levels V = 4 S/ N = 20 dB 20 = 10 log 10 (S/ N) S/ N = 100 Then, C = H log 2 ( 1 + S/N ) = = 3000 log 2 (1 + 100) = 19800 bps.

11. 1. Noiseless channel case: Bandwidth H = 3000 Hz Voltage Levels V = 8 ( three binary bits) Then, C = 2H log 2 (V) = 2 * 3000 log 2 (8) bps. = 18000 bps. 2. Noisy channel case: Bandwidth H = 3000 Hz S/ N = 20 dB Then, 20 = 10 log 10 (S/ N) S/ N = 100 C = H log 2 ( 1 + S/N ) = = 3000 log 2 (1 + 100) = 19800 bps. Numerical Example 2:

12. Transmission Media Transmission medium:: the physical path between transmitter and receiver. 1. Guided media :: waves are guided along a physical path (e.g, twisted pair, coaxial cable and optical fiber) 2. Unguided media :: means for transmitting but not guiding electromagnetic waves (e.g., the atmosphere and outer space).

15. Guided Transmission Data Magnetic Tapes Coaxial Cable Twisted Pair Fiber Optics

16. Bandwidth: A tape can hold 7 gigabytes. A box can hold about 1000 tapes. Assume a box can be delivered in 24 hours. The effective bandwidth=7*1000*8/86400=648 Mbps Cost Cost of 1000 tapes= $5000. If a tape can be reused 10 times and the shipping cost is $ 200, we have a cost of $ 700 to ship 7000 gigabytes. Magnetic Tapes

17. Coaxial Cable

18. Coaxial Cables Types 10Base5 Thick Ethernet :: thick (10 mm) coax 10 Mbps, 500 m. max segment length, 100 devices/segment, awkward to handle and install. 10Base2 Thin Ethernet :: thin (5 mm) coax 10 Mbps, 185 m. max segment length, 30 devices/segment, easier to handle,

19. Coaxial Cable Applications Television distribution Ariel to TV Cable TV Long distance telephone transmission Can carry 10,000 voice calls simultaneously Being replaced by fiber optic Short distance computer systems links Local area networks

20. Twisted Pair Cables Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Ordinary telephone wire Cheapest Easiest to install Suffers from external EM interference Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Metal braid or sheathing that reduces interference More expensive Harder to handle (thick, heavy)

21. UTP Categories ( a). Category 3 UTP. (b). Category 5 UTP.

26. Fiber Optics Optical fiber :a thin flexible medium capable of conducting optical rays. Optical fiber consists of a very fine cylinder of glass (core) surrounded by concentric layers of glass (cladding). a signal-encoded beam of light (a fluctuating beam) is transmitted by total internal reflection . Total internal reflection occurs in the core because it has a higher optical density (index of refraction) than the cladding.

36. Computer Networks by R.S. Chang, Dept. CSIE, NDHU 36 The Electromagnetic Spectrum

37. Computer Networks by R.S. Chang, Dept. CSIE, NDHU 37 ISM (Industrial/Scientific/Medical) Band Transmitters using these bands do not require government licensing . One band is allocated worldwide: 2.400-2.484 GHz. In addition, in the US and Canada, bands also exist from 902-928 MHz and from 5.725- 5.850 GHz. These bands are used for cordless telephones, garage door openers, wireless hi-fi speakers, security gates, etc. Wireless Transmission Frequencies 2GHz to 40GHz ( Microwave, Satellite) 30MHz to 1GHz ( Broadcast radio ) 3 x 10 11 to 2 x 10 14 ( Infrared)

38. Antennas Electrical conductor used to radiate or collect electromagnetic energy. Same antenna often used for both transmission and reception Transmission Radio frequency energy from transmitter Converted to electromagnetic energy by antenna Radiated into surrounding environment Reception Electromagnetic energy impinging on antenna Converted to radio frequency electrical energy Fed to receiver

39. Computer Networks by R.S. Chang, Dept. CSIE, NDHU 39 Radio waves are easy to generate , can travel long distance , and penetrate buildings easily , so they are widely used for communication, both indoors and outdoors. Radio waves are also omnidirectional , meaning that they travel in all directions from the source, so that the transmitter and receiver do not have to be carefully aligned physically. Radio Transmission

40. (a). In the VLF, LF, and MF bands, radio waves follow the curvature of the earth. (b). In the HF band, they bounce off the ionosphere. Radio Transmission

41. Computer Networks by R.S. Chang, Dept. CSIE, NDHU 41 Above 100 MHz, the waves travel in straight lines and can therefore be narrowly focused. Concentrating all the energy into a small beam using a parabolic antenna gives a much higher signal to noise ratio. Since the microwaves travel in a straight line, if the towers are too far apart, the earth will get in the way. Consequently, repeaters are needed periodically. Microwave Transmission

42. Computer Networks by R.S. Chang, Dept. CSIE, NDHU 42 Disadvantages: do not pass through buildings well multipath fading problem (the delayed waves cancel the signal) absorption by rain above 8 GHz severe shortage of spectrum Advantages: no right way is needed (compared to wired media) relatively inexpensive simple to install

43. Computer Networks by R.S. Chang, Dept. CSIE, NDHU 43 . Unguided infrared and millimeter waves are widely used for short-range communication. The remote controls used on televisions, VCRs, and stereos all use infrared communication. . They are relatively directional , cheap , and easy to build , but have a major drawback: they do not pass through solid objects . . This property is also a plus. It means that an infrared system in one room will not interfere with a similar system in adjacent room. It is more secure against eavesdropping. Infrared and Millimeter Transmission

44. Convection currents can interfere with laser communication systems. A bidirectional system with two lasers is pictured here.

45. Communication Satellites Satellite is relay station Satellite receives on one frequency, amplifies or repeats signal and transmits on another frequency Types based on orbital altitude: Geostationary Orbit Satellites (GEO) Medium-Earth Orbit Satellites (MEO) Low-Earth Orbit Satellites (LEO) Applications : Television, Long distance telephone, Private business networks

49. Satellites versus fiber cables High bandwidth available for individual users. More suitable for mobile communication Naturally suited for broadcast applications Better suited for connecting remote areas.

50. Wired Ethernet LAN

51. Wired LAN Digital Signal Encoding The following Schemes to encode frame bits into voltage or light signals for transmission Through guided media: Nonreturn to Zero-Level (NRZ-L) Nonreturn to Zero Inverted (NRZI) Manchester Differential Manchester Bipolar -AMI Pseudo ternary

52. Binary Encoding Schemes Non-return to Zero-Level (NRZ-L) Non-return to Zero Inverted (NRZI) 1 negative voltage 0 positive voltage 1 existence of a signal transition at the beginning of the bit time (either a low-to-high or a high-to-low transition) 0 no signal transition at the beginning of the bit time

53. Coding Example

54. More Encoding Schemes Manchester Differential Manchester 0 low-to-high transition 1 high-to-low transition 1 absence of transition at the beginning of the bit interval 0 presence of transition at the beginning of the bit interval

Bipolar-AMI zero represented by no line signal one represented by positive or negative pulse one pulses alternate in polarity Pseudo-ternary One represented by absence of line signal Zero represented by alternating positive and negative No advantage or disadvantage over bipolar-AMI More Encoding Schemes

62. Structure of the Telephone System A typical circuit route for a medium-distance call.

63. Connecting Computers (Dial-Up)

64. I. The Local Loop This is the connection from the local switching station to houses. This is ultimately what controls the transmission speed to houses. Transmission Problems: Attenuation - the loss of energy as the signal propagates. Delay Distortion - different frequencies travel at different speeds so the wave form spreads out. Noise - unwanted energy that combines with the signal - difficult to tell the signal from the noise. Modulation To get around the problems associated with digital signaling, analog signaling is used. A continuous tone in the 1000 to 2000 Hz range, called a sine wave carrier is introduced. We vary the carrier to represent different signal (data).

65. Telephone Setup

66. Analog and Digital Transmissions The use of both analog and digital transmissions for a computer to computer call. Conversion is done by the modems and codecs.

69. II. Trunks And Multiplexing The cost of a wire is pretty much constant, independent of the bandwidth of that wire - costs come from installation and maintenance of the physical space (digging, etc.). So, how can we stuff more through that medium? The answer is : Multiplexing B B C C A A B C A B C A MUX MUX (a) (b) Trunk group

70. Time Division Multiplexing: TDMA Frequency time 4 users Example: Time sharing multiplexing

71. Example on TDMA TDMA: time division multiple access a) access to channel in "rounds" b) each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round c) unused slots go idle d) example: 6-station LAN, 1,3,4 have pkt, slots 2,5,6 idle e) TDM (Time Division Multiplexing): channel divided into N time slots, one per user; inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load. f) FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing): frequency subdivided.

77. Wavelength Division Multiplexing (Used with Fiber)

78. III. Switching This is what happens inside the phone company - the various wires or fibers interconnect the switching centers. Methods of switching include: Circuit Switching: A connection (electrical, optical, radio) is established from the caller phone to the callee phone. This happens BEFORE any data is sent . Packet Switching : Divides the message up into blocks (packets). Therefore packets use the transmission lines for only a short time period - allows for interactive traffic. Message Switching: The connection is determined only when there is actual data (a message) ready to be sent. The whole message is re-collected at each switch and then forwarded on to the next switch. This method is called store-and-forward. This method may tie up routers for long periods of time - not good for interactive traffic.

79. Fully Interconnected Network ( No Switching Case) For N users to be fully connected directly Requires N ( N 1)/2 connections Requires too much space for cables Inefficient & costly since connections not always on N = 1000 N ( N 1)/2 = 499500 1 2 3 4 N . . .
