Question: Design a Medium Access Control ( MAC ) Protocol for a wireless communication network showingthat its strengths and drawbacks with respect to CSMA / CA

Design a Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol for a wireless communication network showingthat its strengths and drawbacks with respect to CSMA/CA protocol. Then give a description examplefor this proposed protocol. The protocol should implement the following: (14 marks)(a) Any node to transmit first checks that no other node in its range is transmitting.(b) If the node detects any transmission, it waits for the transmission to end.(c) The node then sends a req to the destination node and then waits for the ack from the destinationnode.(d) If the node does not receive any ack, then it waits for 10 ms and if there is no other transmission inits range, sends the req again and keeps repeating this sequence three times before dropping the currenttransmission to the destination with a message destination is not in range.(e) In case the destination sends an ack, the node transmits a packet of data to the destination and thenwaits for the ack_packet from the destination node. After receiving ack_pack it silently receives anytransmission meant for the node or let other nodes in the network to transmit.(f) After transmitting one packet If the node needs to transmit any other packet, it waits for 60 ms andonly then serves the request of transmission of a new packet of data in the network.
