5. A digital audio broadcast service is to transmit digital music. Stereo audio signals are to be transmitted using a digital modem over a data link. The specifications of the system are the following: Each audio signal is sampled at a rate of 44 kilo samples/second and quantized using 24 bits; the data link is implemented using a transmission bandwidth of 0.25 MHz. (Note that a stereo signal uses two channels). Assume a 46 byte overhead is added before the transmission of each packet.
C. Assume that the broadcast service use UDP/IP/Ethernet protocol to transmit digital audio using a packet switched network where the maximum packet size is limited to 800 byte including the combined header. Protocol header sizes are as follows; UDP: 8 byte, IP: 20 byte and Ethernet: 18 byte. Calculate the number of packets requires to transmit a 250 ms digital audio segment. Also, calculate the segment transmission delay assuming that pipeline packet transmission technique is used. The transmitter receiver separation is 200 km.
