In a rural radio telephony system design it is proposed that each village be provided with one radio unit consisting of two transceivers, two omnidirectional antennas, at least one telephone, and a control unit. With such equipment a cluster of villages will form a local area radio network. Clusters of villages will be linked via gateways, with each gateway linking such a local network to the existing PSTN. This paper concentrates on the software side, describing the proposed call setup and routing schemes, how the control program is envisaged to work, and the network simulation using transputers
