High-Throughput, Survivable Protocols for CDMA Packet-Radio Networks (SRNTN-74)

Abstract

The result of our research is a suite of practical, implementable algorithms that a software developer can use to build a high-throughput, survivable Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile packet radio network with existing spread-spectrum packet-radio hardware. The Code Division channel increases network throughout by allowing simultaneous transmissions to different destinations on the same frequency band. we have conducted extensive simulations to verify the performance of these protocols and we have determined they produce a high-throughput, survivable network. These protocols are an evolutionary step in packet-radio network architecture that starts with earlier pioneering work, most notably the work of Jubin et al. that is the basis of SURAP. We have adopted many SURAP algorithms to our CDMA network architecture, most notably its routing algorithms.
