George wants to setup a wireless network in a reserved frequency band

for only the ICS

$-$

$343$

$$staff to use. The frequency band reserved for the staff is

$5$

$0$

$0$

$$

$$

$$

$$wide$,$ for which

Peter, Bruce, David, George, and Jacob will share. George, who did not pay attention during lecture, is

trying to figure out the best way to multiplex the channel such that each member can achieve the best

throughput in the network. The only method he can currently remember is time division multiple

access

$($

TDMA

$.$

$$To test the network the staff will perform a

$500$

KB file transfer simultaneously. Ignore

propagation delay and handshaking, and assume each user has one transceiver that is tunable to any

frequency and can transmit data at a maximum rate of

$2$

$$using

$$of the channel. There

is a maximum packet size of

$1$

$0$

$0$

$0$

$$bytes$,$ no header is used. Assume a noiseless channel

$($

no loss will

occur

$$such that no ACKing or collision detection scheme is needed.
