Abstract

The effects of adaptive-rate transmissions and routing on the total throughput of a slow-frequency-hop packet-radio network are considered. Adaptive rates are achieved through the use of error-control coding with perfect side information. Both fixed-length codes and variable-length codes are considered. Performance results are obtained for direct transmission (i.e., no routing), two-hop limited routing, and full routing. Each link metric is a function of the amount of interference caused by using the link. We compare the total network throughput for each of these schemes with both fixed-rate and adaptive-rate coding.
