Limitations of Data Rate
The data rate in a network is limited by several factors:
Factors Affecting Data Rate:
1. Bandwidth: Higher bandwidth allows higher data transmission rates.
2. Noise: Interference reduces signal clarity and data accuracy.
3. Signal Attenuation: Loss of signal strength over long distances.
4. Channel Capacity: Defined by Shannon’s Theorem and Nyquist’s Theorem.
o Shannon Capacity: C=Blog2(1+S/N)
o where:
C = Channel capacity (bps)
B = Bandwidth (Hz)
S/N = Signal-to-noise ratio.
o Nyquist Theorem: C=2Blog2LC = 2B \log_2 L where:
L = Number of discrete signal levels.
1. Shannon Capacity (Shannon-Hartley Theorem)
Shannon’s Capacity formula defines the maximum theoretical data rate that can be transmitted over a
channel without errors, given a certain bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio. It is given by:
C = Blog*2*(1+SNR)
where:
C = Maximum channel capacity (bps)
B = Bandwidth of the channel (Hz)
SNR = Signal-to-Noise Ratio (unitless)
2. Nyquist Theorem (Nyquist Rate)
Nyquist's theorem states the maximum data rate for a noiseless channel based on bandwidth and signal
levels. The formula is:
C=2*B*log2L
where:
C = Maximum data rate (bps)
B = Bandwidth of the channel (Hz)
M = Number of discrete signal levels
Input1: Consider a noiseless channel with a bandwidth of 3000 Hz transmitting a signal with two signal
levels. What can be the maximum bit rate?
Output1 : BitRate = 2 * 3000 * log2(2) = 6000bps
Input1 : A telephone line normally has a bandwidth of 3000 Hz (300 to 3300 Hz) assigned for data
communication. The SNR is usually 3162. What will be the capacity for this channel?
Output1 : C = 3000 * log2(1 + SNR) = 3000 * 11.62 = 34860 bps
Input2 : The SNR is often given in decibels. Assume that SNR(dB) is 36 and the channel bandwidth is 2
MHz. Calculate the theoretical channel capacity.
Output2 : SNR(dB) = 10 * log10(SNR)
SNR = 10(SNR(dB)/10)
SNR = 103.6 = 3981
C = 2 * 106 * log2(3982) = 24 MHz
