A fully distributed approach to the design of a Packet Radio network has been described. The algorithms which we have developed have been influenced by the highly mobile and hostile nature of the environment in which systems will be expected to operate. Detailed simulations have been used to evaluate the performance and stability of the algorithms. The channel access and network control strategies as currently implemented are capable of maintaining a useful grade of service over a wide range of operating conditions. In particular, the routing algorithms have been shown to provide a very acceptable level of service when more orthodox algorithms would be generating unsupportable overheads. Further work will include refining and enhancing the robustness of the channel access and routing algorithms in conjunction with real connectivity measurements from the field.
