THE ALOHA SYSTEM: another alternative for computer communications

Published:17 November 1970Publication History

ABSTRACT

In September 1968 the University of Hawaii began work on a research program to investigate the use of radio communications for computer-computer and console-computer links. In this report we describe a remote-access computer system---THE ALOHA SYSTEM---under development as part of that research program and discuss some advantages of radio communications over conventional wire communications for interactive users of a large computer system. Although THE ALOHA SYSTEM research program is composed of a large number of research projects, in this report we shall be concerned primarily with a novel form of random-access radio communications developed for use within THE ALOHA SYSTEM.
