Abstract:

This report covers an investigation of methods for optimizing operation of a communications network which uses a single, hard-limiting, multiple access satellite as a relay on all links, and which may use either frequency division, time-division or spread-spectrum multiple access techniques. Alternative methods based on dynamic programming techniques and on Lagrange multiplier analysis have been developed for each multiple access technique, and have been programmed in FORTRAN 4. Author
