COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Match the component of a Link 16 timeslot to the correct definition
a) Variable wait time before data pulses are transmitted that contributes to jam
resistance
b) Time allowed for the transmission to travel to potential receivers that determines the
maximum range of point-to-point connectivity
