Abstract :
This paper is concerned with the graphical modeling of multi-hop spread spectrum packet radio networks. We show various network graphs, obtained using a graphics program, that illustrate typical connectivities that may be achieved for nominal values of the processing gain. The effects of the propagation power loss function and terminal transmission probability are also displayed. We introduce the notion of a soft link where the number of links included in the network depends on a link quality parameter.
