This paper presents a multi-cluster, multi-hop packet radio network architecture for wireless adaptive mobile information systems (WAMIS). The network supports multimedia traffic and uses both time division and code division access schemes. Unlike conventional cellular systems, it does not rely on a wired infrastructure, allowing instant deployment in areas without infrastructure. Nodes are organized into clusters using a distributed clustering algorithm, with clusterheads acting as local coordinators for channel scheduling, power control, and time synchronization. The architecture supports virtual circuits for real-time traffic and allows bandwidth allocation at call setup. It is scalable and handles mobility. Simulation experiments evaluate its performance in static and mobile environments. Current wireless systems are limited by fixed bandwidth, fixed network configurations, and reliance on wired infrastructure. These limitations make them unsuitable for scenarios like emergency communications where wired networks are unavailable. The proposed architecture enables rapid deployment and dynamic reconfiguration of wireless stations. It uses SS-CDMA for flexible spectrum sharing and interference mitigation. Power control and multi-hop support are critical for efficient spatial reuse of bandwidth. Multimedia applications in WAMIS combine real-time (voice, video) and bursty (data, image) traffic. Real-time traffic requires bandwidth and delay guarantees, typically carried on virtual circuits. Bursty traffic is connectionless. Admission control is needed for real-time traffic, while bursty traffic may cause congestion. Link-level and end-to-end flow control schemes are necessary to avoid congestion. Explicit acknowledgments are used for reliable datagram transport, as passive acknowledgment is not suitable in CDMA environments. The paper presents a multi-cluster network architecture that dynamically reconfigures topology to handle mobility. Routing and bandwidth assignment meet traffic requirements. Node clustering, VC setup, and channel access control are key features. The paper describes two distributed clustering algorithms: lowest-ID and highest-connectivity. These algorithms elect clusterheads based on node IDs or connectivity. The clustering algorithms ensure stable cluster configurations despite node movement. The architecture supports efficient resource management, multimedia traffic, and mobility.This paper presents a multi-cluster, multi-hop packet radio network architecture for wireless adaptive mobile information systems (WAMIS).
