Abstract
An effective relay management solution applicable to multiple terminal ground-to-ground or ground-to-air line-of-sight communication environments is described. Algorithms are developed which enable terminals first to recognize the existence or availability of other terminals, and second, to self-organize a community of terminals rapidly into local nets without the need for a master control terminal. Computer simulation results show how a static or dynamically changing user geometry can be managed. Network connectivity is provided automatically and the system protects itself against the loss of a master user by not requiring one.Keywords
