4. We need to use synchronous TDM and combine 20 digital sources, each of 100 Kbps. Each
output slot carries 1 bit from each digital source, but one extra bit is added to each frame
for synchronization. Answer the following questions:
a. What is the size of an output frame in bits?
b. What is the output frame rate?
c. What is the duration of an output frame?
d. What is the output data rate?
e. What is the efficiency of the system (ratio of useful bits to the total bits)?
5. Repeat Problem 6-4 if each output slot carries 2 bits from each source.
6. We have 14 sources, each creating 500 8-bit characters per second. Since only some of
these sources are active at any moment, we use statistical TDM to combine these sources
using character interleaving. Each frame carries 6 slots at a time, but we need to add 4-bit
addresses to each slot. Answer the following questions:
a. What is the size of an output frame in bits?
b. What is the output frame rate?
c. What is the duration of an output frame?
d. What is the output data rate?
Example comparing TDM synchronous and TDM statistical
(In statistical multiplexing, the number of slots in each frame is less than the number of
input lines)
10. The Figure shows a demultiplexer in a synchronous TDM. If the input slot is 16 bits long
(no framing bits), what is the bit stream in each output? The bits arrive at the demultiplexer
as shown by the arrows.
