Adaptive Control at The Link Layer of the Packet Radio Networks

Abstract

A mathematical model for calculating the optimal effective transmission rate at the link level of radio networks using a flexible adaptive multiple access protocol with carrier signal control and variable data frame length is proposed. This model is a tool for calculation of both the radio bandwidth network capacity and the optimal deviation of the data packet length at adaptive control of competitive access to a radio channel with a fixed strategy in conditions of significant fluctuation in traffic intensity and changes in interference intensity in the radio channel.
