Computer Networks--The ALOHA System.

Abstract

The ALOHA System, an experimental UHF radio computer communication network, was developed at the University of Hawaii during 1970-76. In this survey paper, we give a general overview of packet communication techniques applied to computer networks. Then we discuss the concept of packet broadcasting and give a short discription of the ALOHANET. Next, a discussion of the application of ALOHA techniques to satellite communications is presented. Finally, a short survey of present-day research and development efforts in packet broadcasting is presented. (Author)
