Distributed Sensor Networks

Abstract

This Semiannual Technical Summary reports work in the Distributed Sensor Networks program for the period 1 October 1980 through 31 March 1981. Status of the development and deployment of the DSN acoustic test bed and implementation of a real-time DSN capability using the test bed are reported. DSN communication requirements have been reviewed and a preliminary design has been completed for a communication channel structure and for protocols to provide the needed services. Simulation and analytical results have been obtained confirming the performance of the proposed distributed random-access scheme for local broadcast. Progress is reported on design studies directed toward an advanced nodal processor and software design and development efforts directed toward solving problems associated with distributed software systems.
