2 (b)
A system uses stop-and wait ARQ protocol. If each packet carries 2000bits of data, how long does it take to send 1 million bits of data if the speed is 2×108 m/sec? Ignore transmission, waiting and processing delays. We assume no data or control frame is lost or damaged. Repeat for go-back-n with window size=7

3 (b)
Two station A and C are connected to a shared channel with data rate 10Mbps. The distance between A and C is 2500m and the propagation speed is 2×108 m/s. Station A starts sending a long frame at time t1=0; station C starts sending a long frame at time t2=3μsec. The size of the frame is long enough to guarantee the detection of collision by both stations. Find: (i) The time when station C hears the collision (t3) (ii) Time when station A hears the collision (t4); (iii) The number of bits A has sent before detecting the collision; (iv) The number of bits C has sent before detecting the collision.
