Question: ( 4 ) [ 2 0 points ] A satellite transponder supports multiple earth stations based on the time division multiple access ( TDMA )

(4)[20 points] A satellite transponder supports multiple earth stations based on the time division multiple access (TDMA) scheme. The system parameters are provided as following. Note that system parameters are simplified for your easy calculation even without the calculator (not practical values).
- Bit rate (BPSK): 100 bits/second
- Frame length: 156 seconds
- Preamble per each data burst (for each earth station): 200 bits
- Guard time after each data burst (for each earth station): 1 second
We consider two scenarios where both scenarios use three frames, that is,156[seconds/frame]\(\times 3\)[frames]\(=468\) seconds in total .
Scenario-(a) Supporting four earth stations (ESs): ES-1, ES-2, ES-3 and ES-4 in the first frame. Then supporting another four: ES-5, ES-6, ES-7 and ES-8 in the second frame. Finally, supporting ES-9, ES-10, ES-11 and ES-12 in the third frame.
Scenario-(b) Supporting all 12 ESs: ES-1, ES-2,..., ES-11, ES-12 in each frame during three frames.
In each scenario, describe the capacity of one earth station (ES) in terms of the effective data rate with the unit [bits/second].
Which scenario is better than the other, if both are feasible? Describe the reason for that.
