Abstract :
Progress is reported in the design and analysis of spread-spectrum packet radio networks for the factory of the future. This progress includes the accurate analysis of the probability of packet success in a direct-sequence spread-spectrum communication channel and analytical results on the transient behavior of packet radio networks. The first use of these networks will be to provide communications between a transport system controller and a fleet of autonomous guided vehicles
