Suppose multiple stations are connected in wired network where CSMA/CD implemented. Among them, station A wants to communicate with B and station C wants to communicate with D. Previously, both of these sender stations have faced collisions at different timings and are still unsuccessful in their transmission. The value of k for station A has reached to 6, whereas the value of k for station B has reached to 4. The maximum attempts allowed to any station is set to 10 and transmission time for a frame is 0.5ms. This time, Both of the sender stations (A & C) sensed the medium, both got the channel idle and started transmission. Sooner, the station A detected the collision.
i. What will happen now?
ii. How long station A has wait before re-trying
iii. Meanwhile what will happen at station C
