Simulation of Communication Systems via the ICSSM System

This paper describes the use of the Interactive Communications System Simulation Model (ICSSM). ICSSM is a communication system simulator which is capable of accurate simulation of both actual and hypothetical communication system configurations. This capability will enable ICSSM to be a useful research tool for predicting the performance of prospective communication systems and techniques and of improving existing systems. ICSSM was designed by the Hazeltine Corporation for the Rome Air Development Center, U. S. Air Force. Wade Engineering produced the math models that were the basis of the simulation library modules that are discussed in this paper.
