Consider a TDMA system that transmits information in frames of 8 bits.
The probability that a frame is subject to fading is
. If a frame is
subject to fading the probability that a bit is in error is
.
Otherwise if there is no fading the bit error probability is
.
Assume that frames fade independently.
- What is the probability that a frame is received that does not contain any
errors?
- Assume now that the information has been coded such that one bit error per
frame can be corrected. No interleaving is employed. Compute the probability
that a decoded frame does not contain any bit errors.
- Assume now that bits are interleaved over 8 frames such that each
deinterleaved frame contains exactly one bit from each of the transmitted,
interleaved frames. What is the probability of a bit error if no coding is
used?
- Compute the probability that a frame does not contain any errors if both
coding and interleaving are employed.
