A common measure of transmission for digital data is the baud rate, defined as symbols (bits in our case) per second. As a minimum, transmission is accomplished in packets consisting of a start bit, a byte (8 bits) of information, and a stop bit. Using these facts, answer the following:
(a) How many seconds would it take to transmit a sequence of 500 images of size 1024x1024 pixels with 256 intensity levels using an M-baud (10^6 bits/sec) baud modem? This is a representative medium speed for a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) residential line.
(b) What would the time be using a 30 G-baud (10^10 bits/sec) modem? This is a representative medium speed for a commercial line.
