and thank you.

P8. In Section 6.3, we provided an outline of the derivation of the efficiency of slotted ALOHA. In this problem we'll complete the derivation. a. Recall that when there are N active nodes, the efficiency of slotted ALOHA is Np(1-p)N-1. Find the value of p that maximizes this expression. b. Using the value of p found in (a), find the efficiency of slotted ALOHA by letting N approach infinity. Hint: (1-1/N)N approaches 18e as N approaches infinity
