Network Response Times of a Spread Spectrum System with Large Number of Network Terminals and Central Control

Abstract

In this paper performance of a spread spectrum system with a large number of network terminals and a small number of network control terminals is addressed. Network control terminals carry out most functions relating acquisitions, synchronization, control and aid network terminals. Network response times are calculated for various aiding stratagies and the conditions for a stable network operation are derived. Analytical results are verified with the help of simulations carried out using simulation language SLAM.
