8. S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Decisions, decisions….. I live in the Philadelphia metro area. What cell-phone carrier should I choose? Verizon wireless, Cingular, Spring PCS, AT&T……? I’m designing the next generation microprocessor. It’s going to be connected to Internet2. How do I design the right size the memory buffer? I’m designing the remote navigation for the Mars Rover. What’s the right bandwidth/data rate for control signal transmission?

9. S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University What is a communications system? Communications Systems: Systems designed to transmit and receive information Info Source Info Source Info Sink Info Sink Comm System

10. S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Block Diagram Receiver Rx received message to sink Transmitter Tx s(t) transmitted signal Channel r(t) received signal m(t) message from source Info Source Info Source Info Sink Info Sink n(t) noise

11. S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University What limits our ability to communicate? NOISE!!!!! Noise: an unwanted, random fluctuation in the signal Without the effects of noise, a message with infinitesimally small power could be transmitted over infinitely large distances ALL advances in communications technology are advances to combat the effects of noise

12. S. Mandayam/ ECOMMS/ECE Dept./Rowan University Fundamental Limit: Shannon’s Theorem (1948,1949) Theoretical limit for error-free transmission in a communications system in the presence of noise Source Data Rate: R [bits/sec] Channel Capacity: C = B log 2 (1 + S/N) [bits/sec] R < C: No Error!!! http://www.bell-labs.com/news/2001/february/26/1.html
