In stop and ARQ system, the bandwidth of the line is 1Mbps and it takes 20 ms to make round trip. What is the bandwidth delay product? if the system data frames are of 1000 bit length, what is the uitilization percentage of link? What is the channel uitilization percentage of link if the protocol that can send up to 15 k mes before stopping and worrying about the acknowledgement? Write the comment.

In CSMA/CD, the data rate is 10 Mbps, the distance between the stations 'A' and 'C' is 2000 m and propagation is 2 × 108 mts. Station A starts sending a long frame at time t1=0; station C starts sending a long frame at t2=3 micro sec. The size of the frame is long enough to guarantee the detection of collision by the stations.
Find
(i) The time when station 'C' hears the collision (t3)
(ii) The time when station 'A' hears the collision (t4)
(iii) The number of bits station A has sent before detecting the collision
(iv) The numeber of bits station C has sent before detecting the collision
