Abstract :
This paper describes a software testbed for the development and evaluation of error control techniques for an EHF SATCOM on-the-move system. The testbed consists of a small number of end-user computers connected to one another via a channel simulator (i.e., workstation computer). An overview of the software development effort, including the implementation of error control strategies, the channel simulator, and a few select user applications is presented
