Network ID, TCP/IP, IPv4, & IPv6 | Significance in Data Transmission

 

Significance of Network ID in data transmission

Last Updated: 7/1/22

To transfer data packets from one computer to another, some protocol is used. The procedure is analogous to postal mail delivery. If you want to send a letter to a friend who lives 500 miles away, the corresponding office will handle the backend process of getting your letter to your friend.

TCP/IP is a popular internet transmission protocol for transferring data packets from one computer to another. The network ID is the destination network's address as well as the host's address. TCP/IP transports the following data:

  • Source address 
  • Destination address (network address + host address)
  • Checksum
  • Data, etc
When two computers are connected to the same network, there is no need for routing. However, it is less likely. When you send a from your computer, it is routed through several intermediate networks / routers. The number of intermediate routers is referred to as the 'number of hops.' Computer networks are becoming more sophisticated. They automatically select the shortest path or a path with the fewest hops between sender and receiver.

IPv4 addresses, for example, are 32 bits long, whereas IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long. IPv4 is still widely used today. Assume that the destination IP address is 192.162.0.3. This IP (IPv4) now has two parts. The first part, 192.162.0.0, is known as the network address, and the second part, 0.0.0.3, is known as the host address. Routers that transport data between networks are unaware of the host. This only serves to identify the router (in which the host belongs to). The router then locates the host in its routing table and delivers the data packets.
The receiver then sends the acknowledgement to the sender.

# How TCP termination will happen when server went down in middle of data transfer?

Option in Windows XP allows user to configure one computer in your network as host through which all other workgroup can connect to Internet
A. You can do this with a host computer and a networking hub.

Fading : Slow & Fast and Large & Small Scale Fading (with MATLAB Code + Simulator)

📘 Overview 📘 LARGE SCALE FADING 📘 SMALL SCALE FADING 📘 SLOW FADING 📘 FAST FADING 🧮 MATLAB Codes 📚 Further Reading LARGE SCALE FADING The term 'Large scale fading' is used to describe variations in received signal power over a long distance, usually just considering shadowing.  Assume that a transmitter (say, a cell tower) and a receiver  (say, your smartphone) are in constant communication. Take into account the fact that you are in a moving vehicle. An obstacle, such as a tall building, comes between your cell tower and your vehicle's line of sight (LOS) path. Then you'll notice a decline in the power of your received signal on the spectrogram. Large-scale fading is the term for this type of phenomenon. SMALL SCALE FADING  Small scale fading is a term that describes rapid fluctuations in the received signal power on a small time scale. This includes multipath propagation effects as well as movement-induced Doppler fr...

Theoretical BER vs SNR for binary ASK, FSK, and PSK with MATLAB Code + Simulator

📘 Overview & Theory 🧮 MATLAB Codes 📚 Further Reading Theoretical BER vs SNR for Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) The theoretical Bit Error Rate (BER) for binary ASK depends on how binary bits are mapped to signal amplitudes. For typical cases: If bits are mapped to 1 and -1, the BER is: BER = Q(√(2 × SNR)) If bits are mapped to 0 and 1, the BER becomes: BER = Q(√(SNR / 2)) Where: Q(x) is the Q-function: Q(x) = 0.5 × erfc(x / √2) SNR : Signal-to-Noise Ratio N₀ : Noise Power Spectral Density Understanding the Q-Function and BER for ASK Bit '0' transmits noise only Bit '1' transmits signal (1 + noise) Receiver decision threshold is 0.5 BER is given by: P b = Q(0.5 / σ) , where σ = √(N₀ / 2) Using SNR = (0.5)² / N₀, we get: BER = Q(√(SNR / 2)) Theoretical BER vs ...

DFTs-OFDM vs OFDM: Why DFT-Spread OFDM Reduces PAPR Effectively (with MATLAB Code)

DFT-spread OFDM (DFTs-OFDM) has lower Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) because it "spreads" the data in the frequency domain before applying IFFT, making the time-domain signal behave more like a single-carrier signal rather than a multi-carrier one like OFDM. Deeper Explanation: Aspect OFDM DFTs-OFDM Signal Type Multi-carrier Single-carrier-like Process IFFT of QAM directly QAM → DFT → IFFT PAPR Level High (due to many carriers adding up constructively) Low (less fluctuation in amplitude) Why PAPR is High Subcarriers can add in phase, causing spikes DFT "pre-spreads" data, smoothing it Used in Wi-Fi, LTE downlink LTE uplink (as SC-FDMA) In OFDM, all subcarriers can...

BER performance of QPSK with BPSK, 4-QAM, 16-QAM, 64-QAM, 256-QAM, etc (MATLAB + Simulator)

📘 Overview 📚 QPSK vs BPSK and QAM: A Comparison of Modulation Schemes in Wireless Communication 📚 Real-World Example 🧮 MATLAB Code 📚 Further Reading   QPSK provides twice the data rate compared to BPSK. However, the bit error rate (BER) is approximately the same as BPSK at low SNR values when gray coding is used. On the other hand, QPSK exhibits similar spectral efficiency to 4-QAM and 16-QAM under low SNR conditions. In very noisy channels, QPSK can sometimes achieve better spectral efficiency than 4-QAM or 16-QAM. In practical wireless communication scenarios, QPSK is commonly used along with QAM techniques, especially where adaptive modulation is applied.
