Abstract

The capacity of a distributed, self-organizing, mobile, multihop broadcast packet-radio network using virtual circuit switching and time division multiple access policies is studied. The study develops a tool which provides for the optimization of network capacity by trading off among the network area, the transmission range, and the number of packet-radio units. Since these results are not in closed form, numerical results provide further insight into these parameters
