THE DESIGN OF AIRBORNE RADIO RELAY COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS,
Abstract
If the channel capacity and reliability of, and the total distance to be spanned by an airborne radio relay communication system are specified, the system designer must choose values for relay vehicle reliability, number of redundant relay vehicles and the distance between relay vehicles in such a manner as to satisfy the specification. The problem considered in this report is that of selecting these values in such a manner as to satisfy the specification at minimum cost. An expression is derived for the cost of a minimum cost system. The effect of the specified and cost defined parameters on the cost of such a system is discussed. (Author)
