An integral part of such a program is the procedure used for determining the quality of a communication link. In this concise paper, we discuss several statistical methods for ascertaining those impairments-and their respective levels-which reveal the most

A relay star network is characterized by the property that there is a unique communication path between any two nodes; that is, the graph of the network is a rooted tree. In this article we present a tutorial discussion of relay star networks using examples and an extended discussion of a protocol for wireless data collection on relay star networks. The target application for this work is data collection on networks of fixed low-cost, low-data-rate environmental monitors such as urban terminals (parking meters, pay telephones, fire alarm boxes, distress call stations, etc.) and utility meters (water, electricity, gas, steam, etc.)

In this paper properties of the function F defined by Fx=g(a1(x) + g(a2(x) +g(a3(x) +...))), where g is any function satisfying the same restrictions as f, are discussed. Principally, F is found to be useful in finding stationary measures on the sequences {an(x)}.

When a GLEAP game and a set of GLEAP players have been defined, the GLEAP algorithm generates a sequential series of plays of the game by the set of players. The fundamental operating assumption made about GLEAP players is that they base alternative selection decisions solely upon their past payoff experience with each alternative available.
