Abstract

This paper reports on the initial implementation of an experimental wireless ATM network architecture called RDRN (Rapidly Deployable Radio Network). The RDRN architecture consists of two types of transportable nodes, remote nodes (RNs) and edge nodes (ENs), which utilize GPS-derived location information to rapidly configure themselves into a high capacity wireless network operating at 1--10 Mb/s over distances as far as 10 kilometers. The initial prototype has been deployed and early experiments have been conducted to validate hardware, software, and protocol design and implementation. In addition to describing the RDRN architecture and protocols, this paper details experiences at the DARPA GLOMO '97 demonstration of the RDRN project.
