Real-Time Communication Systems: Design, Analysis and Implementation.

摘要

The main purpose of this research was to study Real-Time Communication Systems; i.e., communications systems destined to support applications with real-time constraints. The research effort included design and performance evaluation of architectures and protocols for real-time communication systems, and in some instances such as implementation and experimental evaluation. The research tasks undertaken during the contract period and the corresponding accomplishments are: Task A. Real-Time Protocol Performance Analysis; Task B. Design and Analysis of Local Networks Suitable for Real-Time Applications; Task C. Performance Evaluation of Multihop Packet Radio Networks; Task D. Multinetwork Environments; and, Task E. Architectural Design and VLSI Implementation of Local Area Networks.
