2013/6/2 Solution Chapter 1 14. The propagation delay is the time that is required for the energy of a signal to propagate from one point to another. a. Find the propagation delay for a signal traversing the following networks at the speed of light in cable (2.3 x 108 meters/second): a ciircuiit bboardd 1010 cm a room 10 m a building 100 m a metropolitan area 100 km a continent 5000 km upup andand downdown toto aa geostationarygeostationary satellitesatellite 22 xx 3600036000 kmkm 1 2013/6/2 Solution: To find the propagation delay, divide distance by the speed of light in cable. Thus we have: a circuit board t = 4.347 x 10-10 seconds prop a room t = 4.3478 x 10-88 seconds prop a building t = 4.3478 x 10-7 seconds prop a metropolitan area t = 4.3478 x 10-4 seconds prop a continent t = 0.02174 seconds prop up and down to a geostationary satellite tprop = 0.31304 seconds b. How many bits are in transit during the propagation delay in the above cases, if bits are entering the above networks at the following transmission speeds: 10,000 bits/second; 1 megabit/second; 100 megabits/second; 10 gigabits/second. Solution: The number off bits in transit is obtained by multiplying the transmission rate R by the propagation delay: Distance (m) 10 Kbps 1 Mbps 100 Mbps 10 Gbps 0.1 4.347 x 1
