Q11(b) (ii)

Solution: We assume that the distance between two stations is 500M

a) Mean time to send = propagation time + transmission time
= 500m. / 150msec. + 500bits / 9 000 000 bps.
= 3.33 msec. + 55.55 msec.

= 58.88 msec.

If the two stations begin the transmission at exactly the same time the signal will interface after exactly 250m.

Tinterface = (250m + 250m) / 150 m/msec = 3.33 msec
