Problem 1.
A geostationary satellite is located 36,000 kilo-
meters (km) away from the surface of the Earth. Once a minute it takes a
digital picture and transmits the data to a base station on Earth. The rate
of transmission is 10 Mbps and the propogation speed is 3.0 × 108 m/s. You
may assume the actual time required to take the picture is negligible.
a. What is the propagation delay of the link?
b. The bandwidth-delay product is defined to be Rxdprop where dprop is
the propagation delay. Calculate the bandwidth-delay product Rxdprop
where deprop is the propagation delay.
c. Let x denote the size of the picture in bits. What is the minimum
value for x so that the satellite is continuously transmitting data over
the link?
