Consider a $50$ kbps satellite channel with a $500$ milliseconds round trip propagation delay. If the sender wants to transmit $1000$ bit frames, how much time will it take for the receiver to receive the frame?

  1. $250$ milliseconds
  2. $20$ milliseconds
  3. $520$ milliseconds
  4. $270$ milliseconds

Round trip time = 2 * Propagation time ===>Propagation time =500/2= 250 ms

Transmission time = Message size / bandwidth ===>1000 bits / 50 kbps = 20 ms

Time to receive the frame by the receiver ===> 250 + 20 = 270 ms

receiver to receive frame=transmission time + propagation time from sender to receiver

transmission time=L/B=1000b/50Kb

                                 =20ms

RTT=2*PD

=>PD=RTT/2=250 ms

so total time for receiver to receive frame=250+20 ms=270ms

ans=D

Option D
RTT = 500 ms ==> one way propagation time is 250 ms
Bandwidth is 50 kbps ==> per sec it transmits 50k bits
So for 1k bits  it will take 20ms
So the total time it taken is 250 + 20 ms= 270 ms

=> RTT = 4 * Tp

=> 500 * 10-3 = 4 * Tp

=> Tp = 125 * 10-3


=> Tt = 103 / 50 * 103

=> Tt = 20 * 10-2


Time for a frame to reach receiver from sender = Tt + 2 * Tp

=> 2 * 10-2 + 2 * 125 * 10-3

=> 20 * 10-3 + 250 * 10-3

=> 270 * 10-3

 

Cross Check and point out mistakes if any ?
