A series of information frames with a mean length of 100 bits is to be transmitted across the following data links using an idle RQ protocol.
If the velocity of propagation of the links is 2 * 108 ms-1, determine the link efficiency (utilization) for each type of link.
a) A 10km link with a BER of 10-4 and a data transmission rate of 9600 bps.
b) A 500km link with a BER of 10-6 and a data transmission rate of 10Mbps.
