Suppose users share a 3 Mbps link. Also, suppose each user requires 150 kbps when transmitting, but each user transmits only 10 percent of the time.
- When circuit switching is used, how many users can be supported?
- For the remainder of this problem, suppose packet switching is used. Find the probability that a given user is transmitting.
- Suppose there are 120 users. Find the probability that at any given time, exactly n users are transmitting simultaneously. (Hint: Use the binomial distribution.)
- Find the probability that there are 21 or more users transmitting
simultaneously.
