Chapter 7, Problem R10RQ
Program Plan Intro

Request to send (RTS) clear to send (CTS):

  • The optimal mechanism used by the IEEE 802.11 is RTS. This is used to decreasing the frame collisions which was introduced by the hidden node problem.
  • In order to avoid the collisions problem, the IEEE 802.11 protocol allows a station to use Request to Send (RTS) and Clear to Send (CTS) control frames to reserve access to the channel.
  • When a sender want to send a data frame, it can initial send an RTS frame to the AP. After AP receives the RTS frame, it will responds by broadcasting a CTS frame.

A planet located far from Earth is around 9 x 1010 meters away. If a stop-and-wait protocol is employed for frame transmission on a 64 Mbps point-to-point link, what is the channel utilization? Assume that the speed of light is 3 108 m/s and that the frame size is 32 KB.
Describe the signal pattern produced on the medium by the Manchester-encoded preamble of the IEEE 802.3 MAC frame.
