Experimental measurements Prototyping • Quality measurement & monitoring tools • Cumbersome • Expensive • Time-consuming • Relatively inflexible
Simulation • Is driven by a stream of pseudorandom numbers • Time-consuming, but more accurate • Overcome problems caused by simplifying assumptions
Analytic Models • Require a high degree of abstraction • Difficult to evaluate the performance of a complex communication system • Queuing theory plays a major role • Calculate answers in near real-time
Benefits • Minimize Costs • Reduce Design Time • 1000-devices network designed in about one hour • Ensure Proper Performance • Avoid costly overbuilding and rebuilding • Assist Design Evaluation • Evaluate vendor claims and networking strategies • Verify performance predictions
Benefits--Minimize Costs • Low-speed access WAN lines are consolidated • The best transmission services are obtained • Unnecessary facilities are eliminated • Communications equipment configurations are optimized • Save 20 to 45 percent
Limitations • Cost $5000-100,000 for WAN optimization design tools and up to $10,000 for LAN • Capable and knowledgeable network designers are required • Input parameters of traffic volumes, message sizes, etc are not good enough • Network design is a process of iterative design and refinement
Overall Gain of a SFG • The general problem in network analysis of finding the relation between response (output) to stimulus (input) signals is equivalent to finding the overall gain of that network. • In SFG analysis, this can be done by two general methods: • Node Absorption (Elimination) method. In this method, the overall gain of SFG from a source node to a sink node may be obtained by eliminating the intermediate nodes. • Mason's rule method.
Mason's Rule Mason's rule is a general gain formula can be used to determine the transfer functions directly. (i.e., relates the output to the input for a SFG. ) Thus the general formula for any SFG is given by : Where, Pi : the total gains of the ith forward path D = 1 - ( of all individual loop gains) + ( of loop gains of all possible non-touching loops taken two at a time) - ( of loop gains of all possible non-touching loops taken three at a time) + … Di = the value of D evaluated with all gain loops touching Piare eliminated. Notice: In case, all loops are touching with forward paths (Pi) , Di = 1
V5(s) Touching loops: Loops with one or more nodes in common are called touching. A loop and a path are touching when they have a common node. Non-touching loops : Loops that do not have any nodes in common Non-touching loop gain : The product of loop gains from non-touching loops. Example :Find C/R for the attached SFG. Forward Path gain: (Only one path, So, i =1) P1 = G1.G2.G3.G4.G5 ……………. (1) Loop gains: L1: G2.H1 L2: G4.H2 L3: G7.H4 L4:G2.G3.G4.G5.G6.G6.G7.G8 Non-touching loops taken two at a time: L1&L2 : G2.H1.G4.H2 L1&L3 : G2.H1.G7.H4 L2&L3 : G4.H2.G7.H4 Non-touching loops taken three at a time: L1,L2&L3: G2.H1.G4.H2.G7.H4
sum of all individual loop gains According to Mason’s rule: sum of gain products of all possible non-touching loops taken two at a time = 1 - (G2.H1 + G4.H2 + G7.H4 + G2.G3.G4.G5.G6.G7) + [G2.H1.G4.H2 + G2.H1.G7.H4 + G4.H2.G7.H4] – [G2.H1.G4.H2.G7.H4] ……. ……. ……… (2) Then, we form ibyeliminating from the loop gains that touch the forward path (Pi). 1= - loop gains touching the forward path (Pi). sum of gain products of all possible non-touching loops taken three at a time • 1= 1 - G7.H4 …..……. ……… (3) Now Substituting equations (1) , (2) & (3) into the Mason’s Rule as :
Using of Mason's Rule to solve SFG The following procedure is used to solve any SFG using Mason's rule. 1) Identify the no. of forward paths and their gains (Pi). 2) Identify the number of the loops and determine their gains (Lj). 3) Identify the non-touching loops taken two at a time, a three at a time, … etc. 4) Determine D . 5) Determine i . 6) Substitute all of the above information in the Mason's formula.
