Abstract
The relationship between storage capacity and mean rate of transfer of information is derived for a burst communication system of the JANET type. Specific probability distributions are then assumed for the durations of signals and the intervals between signals. An explicit formula for the mean rate as a function of storage capacity is calculated for these probability distributions. The specific distributions chosen are thought to approximate those which will be found in a typical JANET system.Keywords
