A certain population of ALOHA users manages to generate 70 request/sec. If the time is slotted in units of 50 msec, then channel load would be
- A.
4.25
- B.
3.5
- C.
350
- D.
450
Attempted by 234 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
In Slotted ALOHA, channel load (G) is calculated as the product of the request generation rate and the slot duration. First, convert the slot time from milliseconds to seconds: 50 msec = 0.05 seconds. Next, multiply the request rate by the slot duration: 70 requests/sec * 0.05 sec = 3.5. Thus, the channel load is 3.5.
