Question

"Smart-Toys-Smart Kids" is a toy manufacturing company. They are providing toys to more than 100 different Toy retail stores in the region. The company has 500 employees. The IT Manager of the company is planning to improve the network’s efficiency between his employees and the retail stores. This is to move the highest possible volume of accurate information through the network. The higher the volume, the greater the resulting network’s efficiency and the lower the cost. "Smart-Toys-Smart Kids" IT manager decided to apply SDLC Transmission protocol. And, they would like to have Transmission Efficiency of 95%.

The parameters of the transmission

Bits allocated for
Flags : 16 bits
Address : 8 bits
Control : 8 bits
CRC : 32 bits

What would be number of bits they would allocate for the information to meet the Transmission Efficiency goal?

Show your calculation

Answer 1

The number of bits allocated to information transmission should be 1216.

Step-by-step explanation:

Efficiency is given as

Efficiency=Bits of Information/Total Bits

where

Bits of Information is x which is to be calculated

Total Bits is given as TB which is the sum of Bits of Information and the additional bits.

The additional bits above are the sum of Flags, Address , Control and CRC bits which are all given in the question and add up to 16+8+8+32=64 bits.

So Total Bits is given as TB which is 64+x

The efficiency is given as 95% or 0.95 so the equation becomes

`0.95=(x)/(x+64)\\60.8+0.95x=x\\0.05x=60.8\\x=1216`

So the number of bits allocated to information transmission should be 1216.
