Question

1. We have a laptop user transmitting at 1 Mbps with no loss. The packets, including payload and all headers, are 100 bytes long and the average CSMA backoff is 32 microseconds. Assuming RTS/CTS induces an extra amortized load of 160 microseconds per data packet, how much faster (in percent) is the CSMA/CA protocol in this situation?

2. Suppose you are transmitting a 1500 byte WiFi frame at 600Mbps. If the physical and link layer overhead is 92% (only 8% of packet time is spent transmitting the 1500-byte WiFi frame), how long is this overhead, in microseconds?

3. What is the theoretical maximum length for cable segments using the original 10Mb/s Ethernet standard (in meters)? You should assume the minimum length packet is 72 bytes, and a propagation speed of 2 * 10^8 m/s.

Explanation / Answer

Size L=1500 bytes = 1500*8 bits = 12000 bits

Bandwidth B=600 Mbps = 600*106 bps

Transmisition time (Ttransmistion) = L/B

                                              =(12000) bits/( 600*106 bps)

                                             =20 * 10-6 sec =20 us

we know In Ethernet

(Ttransmistion) >=2* (Tpropagation)

(20 us)>=2(Tpropagation)

(Tpropagation)<=10 us

(0.08T) =10 us

T=10*100 us

=1000 us

=1 ms

3)
Bandwidth B = 10Mb/s = 10*106bits/sec=107 bits/sec
Size   L=72bytes = 72*8 bits = 576 bits
Propagration speed V=2*10^8 m/sex

Length of cable=D meters

Transmisition time (Ttransmistion) = L/B = (576 bits)/(107 bits/sec) = (576*10-7)sec

Propagrtion time (Tpropagation) =D/V=D/(2*108) sec

We Know in ethernet

(Ttransmistion) >=2* (Tpropagation)

576*10-7>= (2)*(D/2*108)

576*10-7>= D/108

D<=(576*10-7)*108

(5760)>=D

maximum lenght is 5760meters
