COMP8033 – Selected Topics in IT Infrastructure Management

Tugas Group 1

1. Your company wants to create a wireless network for the entire office
building. The building is 10 stories high, and the company wants to
incorporate IEEE 802.11a by placing one access point on the tenth floor.
Will this layout work? Explain.

2. Your company is creating a new network application that allows

employees to view their pay stubs electronically via the internet. Should
this application be connectionless or connection oriented? Defend your
answer and draw a series of sample that a user accessing his or her
electronic pay stub might view.

3. If a company has four buildings with the farthest distance of one kilometer
wanting to create an intranet. What is the best way to create a network?

4. What is the difference between Frequency Division Multiplexing, Time

Division Multiplexing and Code Division Multiplexing?

1. No, it might not work. building construction that does not allow it to be built like that and
also the distance that is too far from the first floor to the 10th floor. Below are the families
802.11 and 802.11x and the differences between them. 802.11 and 802.11x refer to the
specification family developed by IEEE technology for wireless LAN (WLAN). 802.11
establishes an over-the-air interface between wireless clients and base stations or between
two wireless clients. IEEE received specifications in 1997. There are several specifications
in the 802.11 family:
 EEE 802.11: There were two variations on the initial 802.11 wireless standard. Both
offered 1 or 2Mbps transmission speeds and the same RF of 2.4GHz. The difference
between the two was in how data traveled through the RF media. One used FHSS, and the
other used DSSS. The original 802.11 standards are far too slow for modern networking
needs and are now no longer deployed.
 IEEE 802.11a: In terms of speed, the 802.11a standard was far ahead of the original 802.11
standards. 802.11a specified speeds of up to 54Mbps in the 5GHz band, but most
commonly, communication takes place at 6Mbps, 12Mbps, or 24Mbps. 802.11a is
incompatible with the 802.11b and 802.11g wireless standards.
 IEEE 802.11b: The 802.11b standard provides for a maximum transmission speed of
11Mbps. However, devices are designed to be backward-compatible with previous 802.11
standards that provided for speeds of 1, 2, and 5.5Mbps. 802.11b uses a 2.4GHz RF range
and is compatible with 802.11g.
 IEEE 802.11g: 802.11g is a popular wireless standard today. 802.11g offers wireless
transmission over distances of 150 feet and speeds up to 54Mbps compared with the
11Mbps of the 802.11b standard. Like 802.11b, 802.11g operates in the 2.4GHz range and
therefore is compatible with it.
 IEEE 802.11n: The newest of the wireless standards listed in the Network+ objectives is
802.11n. The goal of the 802.11n standard is to significantly increase throughput in both
the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz frequency range. The baseline goal of the standard was to reach
speeds of 100Mbps, but given the right conditions, it is estimated that the 802.11n speeds
might reach a staggering 600Mbps. In practical operation, 802.11n speeds will be much
slower.

2. You would want a connection-oriented application for something as important as viewing

electronic pay stubs.

The following steps explain how funds are transferred to your bank account when customer
pays through credit card:

1. A customer submits the credit card transaction to the Payment Gateway via a secure
connection from your Web site.
2. Payment Gateway receives the secure transaction information and passes it via a secure
connection to your bank’s processor (a financial partner that provides credit card
processing on behalf of the credit card associations, for example, Visa or Master Card).
3. Your bank’s processor submits the transaction to the Credit Card Interchange (a
network of financial entities that communicate to manage the processing, clearing, and
settlement of credit card transactions).
4. The Credit Card Interchange routes the transaction to your customer’s Credit Card
Issuer.
5. The Credit Card Issuer approves or declines the transaction based on the customer’s
available funds and passes the transaction results, and if approved, the appropriate
funds, back through the Credit Card Interchange.
6. The Credit Card Interchange relays the transaction results to your bank’s processor.
7. Your bank’s processor relays the transaction results to the Payment Gateway.
8. Payment Gateway stores the transaction results and sends them to you and/or your
customer.
9. The Credit Card Interchange passes the appropriate funds for the transaction to your
bank, which then deposits funds into your merchant bank account.

3. Based on diagram below our recommendation are:

 To use FO cable to each floor, and all switches will be use Gigabit Ethernet.

 Each floor will be proposed to use dual switch with stack technology for redundancy and
flexibility.

 to connect between buildings within 1 km using a fiber optic cable.

4. There are many different types of multiplexing that has been used in communication and you'd
better know of at least some name of these techniques. (Details of each of these techniques is
a huge topic on their own). There is some communication system that is using only one of
these techniques and there are some other communication systems that are using multiples of
these techniques in combination.
 TDM (Time Division Multiplexing): This would be the most straightforward method. We
split the data exchange time into multiple small slots and transmit/receive different data
onto different slot. GSM is one of example of communication system that is extensively
using this technology)
Types of TDM:

 Synchronous Time-Division Multiplexing – In this type the synchronous term

signifies that the multiplexer is going to assign precisely the same slot to each device

at every time even if a device has anything to send or not. If it doesn’t have something,
the time slot would be empty. TDM uses frames to group time slots which covers a
complete cycle of time slots. Synchronous TDM uses a concept, i.e., interleaving for
building a frame in which a multiplexer can take one data unit at a time from each
device, then another data unit from each device and so on. The order of the receipt
notifies the demultiplexer where to direct each time slot, which eliminates the need of
addressing. To recover from timing inconsistencies Framing bits are used which are
usually appended to the beginning of each frame. Bit stuffing is used to force speed
relationships to equalize the speed between several devices into an integer multiple of
each other. In bit stuffing, the multiplexer appends additional bits to device’s source
stream.

 Asynchronous Time-Division Multiplexing – Synchronous TDM waste the unused
space in the link hence it does not assure the efficient use of the full capacity of the
link. This gave rise to Asynchronous TDM. Here Asynchronous means flexible not
fixed. In Asynchronous TDM several low rate input lines are multiplexed to a single
higher speed line. In Asynchronous TDM, the number of slots in a frame is less than
the number of data lines. On the contrary, In Synchronous TDM the number of slots
must be equal to the number of data lines. That’s why it, avoids the wastage of the link
capacity.

 FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing): In this technique, we split a communication
channel (physical resource) into different frequency blocks and transmit/receive different
stream of data through different frequency blocks. OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing) is one typical example.

 CDM (Code Division Multiplexing): In this technique, we split a communication channel
(physical resource) into different code (orthogonal code) and allocate each stream of data
onto different code. CDMA and WCDMA is the most widely used example.
 SDM (Space Division Multiplexing) or Spatial Multiplexing: In this technique, we split a
communication channel (physical resource) into multiple different physical locations and
allocate each stream of data onto each of the location. In real implementation, 'different
physical location' mean 'different transmission or receiver antenna'. MIMO (Multiple Input
Multiple Output) is the most common example of SDM.
