Study Notes
Circuit-Switched Networks
- In a circuit-switched network, voice channels are connected using Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM), where each link is divided into n channels, and each channel is 4-kHz wide.
- Connections between two stations are established by dialing a phone number, which triggers a series of events, including signaling, connection establishment, and data transfer.
- Resources in circuit switching are dedicated to a single connection during the entire duration of data transfer.
- A circuit-switched network is a type of network made up of switches connected by physical links, with each link divided into n channels.
Boolean Algebra
- In Boolean algebra, 'X' or 'don't care' is used to represent cases where the output of a logic gate doesn't depend on the input variable.
- When simplifying Boolean expressions with don't care conditions, a map can be used instead of 'X' based on the case of the map.
- A K-map (Karnaugh map) can be used to simplify a Boolean expression, making it easier to find the Sum of Products (SOP) expression.
- In Boolean algebra, a function with don't care conditions, such as d(a,b,c)=Σ(2,3,7), indicates that the output is 'X' or 'don't care' for the specified input values.
- The correct SOP expression for F(a,b,c)=Σ(1,3,4,5) is the sum of the minterms for the specified input values.
