Abstract :
The authors define and analyze a model for the throughput performance of multihop packet radio networks operating under a CDMA protocol. This includes a detailed model for the effect of multiuser interference on packet reception at a receiver, that is based on a realistic model of broadcast radio signal propagation and its influence on link connectivity. The analysis is mathematically tractable and computationally simple for networks with arbitrary topologies and traffic requirements. The authors compare analytical and simulation results and find the approximation errors to be less than 5% for a number of different network topologies.<>
