Quiz #5

Name: -----------------------

Select the BEST answer and write it in the space (just write A, B, C, or D): 1) In ________ each station sends a frame, whenever it has a frame to send.

A) Pure ALOHA

B) Slotted ALOHA

C) Non-persistent CSMA D) A&B

2) The maximum protocol throughput for Slotted ALOHA is ________ %. A) 12.2 B) 18.4 C) 36.8 D) 53 3) The vulnerable time for (collision) CSMA is the ________the network length propagation time. A) same as B) two times C) three times D) none of the above 4) In the CSMA _________ method, after the station finds the line idle, it sends its frame immediately. If the line is not idle, it continuously senses the line until it finds it idle. A) Non-persistent B) 1-Persistent C) 0-Persistent D) none of the above 5) In the CSMA ______ method, the decision to send a frame (or refrain) over an idle line is based on the outcome of a random number generator. If the line is busy, it tries again. A) Non-persistent B) 1-Persistent C) 0-Persistent D) none of the above 6) __________ augments the CSMA algorithm to detect collision. A) CSMA/CD B) CSM/CA C) either A or B D) both A and B 7) The reception of an ACK indicates a successful frame transmission in _________. A) ALOHA B) CSMA/CD C) CSMA/CA D) both A and C 8) In the ________MAC mechanism, the reception of an ACK by the frame sender does not reflect that the frame has successfully arrived at its final destination. A) reservation B) polling C) token passing D) CSMA/CD 9) In the _______MAC mechanism(s), the useful data rate is much lesser than one pumped over the channel, i.e., the required baud rate is much higher than the bit rate. A) CDMA B) FDMA C) TDMA D) A and C 10) In the ______MAC mechanism, there is a guaranteed upper bound in the frame transmission source-to-destination delay. A) polling B) token-ring C) CSMA/CD D) none of the above
