Performance Analysis

📊 Performance of MAC Protocols The performance of MAC protocols directly influences the overall efficiency and reliability of data transmission in a network. Understanding how each protocol performs in different network conditions is key to optimizing channel utilization, minimizing collision rates, and ensuring fair access to the communication medium. 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 TDMA Performance TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) allocates time slots to each device for transmission. Its performance depends on the time slot allocation, the number of devices, and the synchronization. ...

📊 Performance of ARQ Protocols ARQ protocols are central to ensuring reliable data transmission, but their performance can vary based on factors like channel quality, window size, and protocol type. Let’s dive into the performance evaluation of Stop-and-Wait, Go-back-N, and Selective Repeat. 📈 Stop-and-Wait ARQ Efficiency: In Stop-and-Wait ARQ, the sender must wait for an acknowledgment after sending a frame, which leads to poor utilization of available bandwidth, especially in high-latency networks. Throughput: [ \text{Throughput} = \frac{\text{Frame Size}}{\text{Transmission Time} + \text{Round-Trip Time (RTT)}} ] Where RTT represents the time for a packet to go to the receiver and back. ...
