Satellite/Terrestrial Communication Network Evaluation with Computer- Aided Workstation Tools.

摘要

Research has been performed on satellite and terrestrial networks. The work was broken down into five tasks: Network channel, and modem models; Investigation of decentralized routing/restoration algorithms under dynamic network conditions; Characterization of throughput and error performance; Applicability of various adaptive and diversity approaches; Study connectivity and flow control strategies appropriate for networks of networks with mobile nodes. The output of the grant is in the form of several publications in national and international conference proceedings, archival journals, and masters and Ph.D. theses. Several specialized pieces of software were developed and are briefly described in Appendix A.
