There are three stations in an 802.11 network: A, B, and C. Station C is hidden from A, but B can see it electronically. Assume station A must send data to station B. The RTS frame cannot reach C because it is hidden from A. Explain how station C can learn that A has locked the channel and that it should refrain from transmitting.

Assume a constant round-trip delay between the sender and receiver, and that the sender is aware of this delay before starting. Due to the probability of packet loss, is a timer still necessary in protocol rdt 3.0? Explain.
Computer A is sending a 10 MByte long file to Computer B via packet-switching over two consecutive 100 Mbps links of 2000 km length each.Assume that the signal propagation speed on both links is 2 x 108 m/s.Furthermore, assume that the maximum length of a packet is 1480 bytes and that Computer A fills each packet to the max, if possible. How long (in seconds) does it take Computer A to send out one packet of maximum length on the first link?

Use a diagram to illustrate the four-way handshake protocol for channel reservation in IEEE 802.11 (i.e., WiFi). Please indicate the name of each frame, and also the idle period before each frame is transmitted. (Tips: the protocol used is CSMA/CA with RTS/CTS.)
Let us consider that there are two stations namely as X and Y. Station X uses 64-byte packet to transmit message to station Y using sliding window protocol The propagation delay between X and Y is 25 milliseconds and the bottleneck bandwidth on the path between A and B is 256 kbps. What is the optimal window size of X?
