Measurement and Evaluation Studies of Packet Radio Telecommunications Systems

Abstract

The main purpose of this contract is to develop tools for, and to perform, evaluation of Packet Radio Network in support of the evolution of packet radio technology. The activities include: (1) Measurement Activities: We have continued guiding the development of measurement tools and performed measurement experiments. Progress in this contract period was slow due to the lack of testbed availability and the occupation of implementors in other priority tasks, such as the deployment of Ft. Bragg packet radio network. (2) Simulation Activities: Two simulation packages have been developed, a detailed simulation which closely simulates the radio subnet, and a system-level simulation which aims at high level investigation of pertinent design issues. and (3) Analytical Investigation: It has progressed from studies of channel access schemes to packet hop transport system from multihop networks. Employing mathematical analysis and simulation, we have conducted studies in support of the PRNET design and implementation efforts.
