TNC Controller Influence on Transmission Delays in Packet Radio Network

TNC controllers are microprocessor-based circuits made for Packet Radio network. This paper presents the results of transmission start and end delays in an experimental Packet Radio network with the use of various types of TNC controllers. These results are compared to the analytical results obtained using a previously developed analytical model of TNC controller. Presented considerations may help in analysis of TNC controller application possibilities in certain time-bounded applications.
