A Study of Packet Routing in Mobile Radio Networks

Abstract

This study is concerned with mobile packet radio networks. These networks are of importance in the context of tactical battlefield communications, where decentralized operation and antijam capability are desirable network attributes. The objective of this study is to conduct and document a survey of the known and available results on techniques for routing information through packet radio networks. We focus on issues that reside within the fust (lower) three layers of the seven-layer open system interconnection (OSI) network architecture modeL Consequently, a greater emphasis is placed on issues, such as network connectivity, media access, and routing. Where available, performance evaluation methods are detailed. Finally, we present examples of commercial, state of the art wireless data networks and discuss some open problems for further study.
