Q1) A slotted ALOHA network transmits 200-bit frames using a shared channel with a
200 kbps bandwidth. Find the throughput if the system (all stations together) produces
250 frames per second. (Ans:0.195 (49/250 frames))

Q2) What is the minimum frame size required for a CSMA/CD-based computer network
8
running at 1 Gbps on a 200 m cable with a link speed of 2 × 10 m/s? (Ans: 250
bytes)

Q3) Suggest a mechanism of assigning priorities to different stations while using the
CSMA/CA method over a shared medium.

Q4) Given a CDMA-based network with four stations. Consider station 1 sends a 0,
station 2 sends a 0 and station 3 sends 1 and station 4 is silent. Generate the code for
stations.
a. What is the final data that goes on the channel? (Ans: [-1 +1 -3 -1])
b. If station 2 wants to receive station 1’s data, show the decoding required.

Q5) Given a CDMA-based network, we need to establish a network with 7 stations.

What is the number of sequences required and demonstrate a way to generate them?
(Ans: 8 using Walsh tables)
