Abstract

A set of adaptive protocols for mobile wireless frequency-hop spread-spectrum communication networks is described. The primary elements of the protocol suite are the adaptive-transmission protocol, the adaptive-routing protocol, and the adaptive-forwarding protocol. Together, these protocols control the transmission of packets on each link in the network and the routing of packets through the network. Each protocol interacts with the other protocols and with elements of the physical layer in order to obtain information about the energy requirements and interference conditions of the alternative routes. The protocols adapt their responses to the observed changes in these energy requirements and interference conditions. No measurements of the signal-to-noise ratio or the received power are required by the adaptive protocols.
