ABSTRACT

In this paper, we describe the use of packet radio communication for organizing computer resources into a computer communications network. A system to demonstrate the packet radio concept is being developed by the Advanced Research Projects Agency with initial testing in the San Francisco area beginning in 1975. The attributes of this system are presented and its application to mobile radio communications and computer architecture is briefly discussed.
