Network Hierarchy: Core, Distribution, and Access Layers
Network Hierarchy Design
Core Layer
The Core Layer consists of the biggest, fastest, and most expensive routers with the highest model numbers. The Core Layer is considered the backbone of networks. Core Layer routers are used to merge geographically separated networks. These routers move information on the network as fast as possible. Core layer switches also operate to switch packets as fast as possible.
The core layer provides fast transport between distribution switches within the enterprise campus.

GSM Protocol Architecture
The GSM Protocol Architecture is a three-layer model designed to handle communication between the Mobile Station (MS) and the Core Network. These layers roughly correspond to the bottom three layers of the OSI model: Physical, Data Link, and Network.
Three-Layer Architecture
Layer 1 (Physical Layer)
This layer handles the actual radio transmission. It manages functions like GMSK modulation, channel coding, and the creation of the 0.577 ms bursts described earlier. It operates

Regression Models and Regularization Techniques
1. Linear Regression (Ordinary Least Squares – OLS)
Linear Regression is the most basic form, aiming to model the relationship between a dependent variable (Y) and one or more independent variables (X) by fitting a straight line (or hyperplane) to the data.
- Goal: To find the coefficient values (β) that minimize the Residual Sum of Squares (RSS), which is the sum of the squared differences between the observed data points and the values predicted by the
Java Binary Tree and Graph Algorithm Practice
Practice Problems
1. Check if a Binary Tree is a Mirror of Itself
The idea is to write a recursive function isMirror() that takes two trees as arguments and returns true if the trees are mirrors and false if they are not. The isMirror() function recursively checks two roots and the subtrees under those roots.
// Java program to check if a binary tree is symmetric or not
class Node {
int key;
Node left, right;
Node(int item) {
key = item;
left = right = null;
}
}Deep Learning for Audio and Speech Processing
Motivation for Deep Learning in Audio Processing
Why DL4ASP? Why use deep learning to analyze audio and speech? An audio file or stream consists of two main parts:
- Header: Contains metadata such as the file name, path, number of channels, sample frequency, and duration.
- Content: The actual sound data. It is unstructured binary data (0s and 1s). Without analysis, we do not know if it is music or voice; to understand the sound, you have to listen to it all.
The content is raw and complex, motivating the
