Scenario 1: Assume each user is active 10% of their time. When active, they generate data at a constant rate of 100Kbps. The whole bandwidth is 1Mbps How many users if we use circuit switching? (10) How many if we use packet switching? Scenario 2: Assume there are 10 users and one user suddenly generates one thousand 1,000-bit packets, while others remain inactive. How long does it take to transmit the 1M bits if using circuit switching? How long if using packet switching?

Reconstruction: Sampling rate = 2H
Nyquist theorem:
SNR (signal-to-noise ratio)
S/N in decibel (dB) (10log 10 S/N)
maximum datarate= 2 H log 2 V bits/sec
maximum datarate= H log 2 ( 1 + S / N ) bits/sec

What is the maximum data rate for a channel of 3000-Hz bandwidth with a signal to thermal noise ratio of 30dB?
According to a report, during the 1998 Tennessee-Florida game, the crowd noise measured at Neyland stadium peaked at 117dB, twice as high as the one measured at Tiger stadium during the 2000 LSU-Alabama game (111dB). In order to transmit a voice signal over this crowd at a rate of 1000bps at Neyland stadium, what kind of minimum bandwidth is required?
