Question
What is the end-to-end BER specified by CCITT for an ISDN?
Step 1
BER is a measure of the number of bits that have errors relative to the total number of bits transmitted in a communication system. Show more…

(a) A teleprinter system operating at 200 baud, represents each alphanumeric character by a 5 bit codeword and each binary state by ± 10 V. If the line attenuation over a regenerator section is 46 dB and the rms noise voltage at the regenerator input is 17.2 mV, calculate the average character error rate per minute. Assume equal probability of each binary state and an optimum reference level for the decision comparator, stating its value in volts. Comment generally on the effect of each of the following on the error rate: (i) non-equal probability of state occurrence, (ii) inclusion of a parity bit in each codeword, (iii) use of two threshold levels with double the voltage swing at the teleprinter output, (iv) cascading n such regenerator sections. (b) Justify the following relationship for a single-error-correcting Hamming code, having R check bits and M data bits, with a Hamming distance of 3: M + R ≤ 2^R - 1 Outline a possible code table for such a Hamming code using 3 data bits and illustrate its error correction action by assuming an error in one of the received data bits.
As we will learn in the next chapter, one means of transmitting bits over traditional telephone systems is to convert the bit patterns into sound, transfer the sound over the telephone lines, and then convert the sound back into bit patterns. Such techniques are limited to transfer rates of 57.6 Kbps. Is this sufficient for teleconferencing if the video is ompressed using MPEG?
