Explanation of Solution

Working of Google’s Project Fi:

  • Project Fi routes the customer’s data automatically and seamlessly between the available Wi-Fi networks and the 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks of Sprint, T-Mobile and U.S. Cellular.
  • The routing of network depends upon the strongest signal which is available in the user’s location.
  • Project Fi operates on Google’s Nexus which allows wireless tethering setting the phone as a mobile Wi- Fi router allowing the laptop to use the phone’s data connection.
  • Project Fi uses approximately 1 million free open Wi-Fi hotspots. Google has verified this network as fast as reliable.
  • Project Fi uses encryption technique to protect the password and personal data of the users who are accessing the public Wi-Fi.
  • It provides some services to the customers like call, text and check voice mail in their android devices. It also provides prepaid services to the customer which allows the user to pay only for the data they actually use.

Simulate on a vertical time axis (with events labeled with the senders names A-D) the contention period of FOUR equally distanced Ethernet stations that all attempt to transmit at T=0 a minimally sized frame, in the style of the binary Exponential Backoff Algorithm. Assume that time is measured in slot times, and that exactly one slot time is needed to detect a collision (so that if two stations transmit at T=1 and collide, and one of them chooses a backoff time k=0, then that station will transmit again at T=2). Use as coin flip (source of randomness) an ID written in binary. use the bits in order from the least significant to the most significant. If for a given coin throw you need k bits, use the least significant ID bit extracted in the corresponding group of bits, as the least significant bit of the coin thrown. Start be writing the ID, which is 904012207 As example of the expected answer format,  with the random sequence R:   100101010101001011001010 01 01011  10010 1010 1010 010…
