from computer networks a system approach book

please answer the following ..

..

(Slotted ALOHA): Suppose there are N nodes in a slotted ALOHA network. Every node is trying to transmit a packet at every time slot with probability p, independently of each other. It takes one time slot to transmit a packet.

(a) Express the offered load (the average number of packets per time slot that are arriving to the network) in terms of N and p.

(b) Showthethroughput(theaveragenumberofsuccessfullytransmittedpacketspertimeslot)isequaltoNp(1p)N1.

(c) Suppose the nodes can somehow change the probability of transmission p in their favor. Find value of p that maximizes the throughput.

(d) LetusdenotethemaximumthroughputbyT(N),usingthevalueofpfrompart(c).WecallT(N)ascapacity of the network. Calculate the capacity if there are infinite number of nodes, in other words, find limN T (N ). (I hope the answer looks familiar to you!)

.. please give full answers with a clear explanations.
