MULTITRANSITION PACKET RADIO COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

FIELD: wireless data transfer systems including mobile radio and telephone networks with cellular structure of service areas. ^ SUBSTANCE: adaptable peak-mode transmissions are used in adaptive communication system to transfer data between sending and receiving stations through one or more intermediate stations. Each station controls activity of other stations of network and stores connectivity information to be used in next transmissions. Each station also occasionally sends sounding signals to locate other stations residing within its range. In this case message is sent over network from station to station, acknowledgement data being returned to sending station until receiving station is found. Old messages that can obstruct network are stopped and erased. Description is also given of communication network and transceiver equipment designed for use in network. ^ EFFECT: enhanced data throughput at minimal power requirement. ^ 17 cl, 14 dwg
