Question

Consider five wireless stations A,B,C,D,E. Station

A can communicate with all other stations.
B can communicate with A,C, E.
C can communicate with A,B,D, and
D can communicate with A,C,E. Also
E can communicate with A,D,B.

1) When A is sending to B, what other communications are possible?
2) When B is sending to A, what other communications are possible?
3) When B is sending to C, what other communications are possible?

Answer 1

Solution to 1. When A is sending to B, then communication is established within A,C,E.

Solution to 2. When B is sending to A, A can communicate with other stations and in this case ,there is a possibility of communication with C,D,E as B is sending to A.

Solution to 3. When B is sending to C, communication is established between A,B and D.

Answer 2

Answer and Explanation:

Communication is possible when sender and reciever both communicates in well manner and communication is only possible when there is a sender available to communicate.

1) Sending data from A to B, there is no possible communication between A and other stations because while A is communicating with B the packet's of station A will interfere with other packets by other stations. Thus while transmission from A to B there is no other communication possible between any other station.

2) In this case also there is no communication possible as B can communicate with other stations except D. If E and C try to send some data to D at the same time then this would interfere B's transmission to A. Thus while transmission from B to A there is no communication possible between any other station.

3) Station B can communicate with E, A and C but not with D. while sending data from B to C the communication will be interfered by the station B's transmission to A. But station E can safely transmit data to D while communication between station B to C. Thus there is one communication possible while sending data from B to C which is E to D.
