Network translation gateways can provide seamless interoperability among different airborne, ground and maritime domains. Effective interconnection between waveforms and protocols through the gateways requires manual intensive development and specialized protocol expertise. Therefore, enabling building versatile gateways that can effectively translate those protocols across different network domains...
Network coding has been studied to enhance reliability and robustness of communications in lossy environments such as high mobile tactical situations. Previous network coding research has exploited on-demand multipath routing, multicasting, or broadcasting to leverage spatial redundancy and improve communication performance. However, one should not ignore proactive routing protocols such as link state...
In modern warfare, informational and situational awareness is vital to superiority on the battle field. In our previous work, we have shown that communication planning based on mission plans can greatly improve the performance of the tactical communication networks. In the Mobility Aware Routing Protocol (MARP) /Mobility Dissemination Protocol (MDP), this mission information is utilized to route traffic...
Inter-domain routing for MANETs (mobile ad hoc networks) draws increasing attention because of military and vehicular applications. The existing border gateway protocol (BGP) is the de facto inter-domain routing protocol for the Internet. But BGP is not applicable to MANETs because the BGP design is based on a static Internet which does not support dynamic discovery of members, and cannot scale to...
Active topology management in the future airborne networks (AN) can provide improved overall network throughput, efficiency, and scalability and is critical due to the high degree of platform dynamics involved. The RF links that form an airborne network must be established and reconfigured rapidly in response to aircraft joining and leaving the network, aircraft changing flight paths, and to changes...
Reliability support in a tactical area network is crucial since critical information is exchanged to achieve military missions. However, it is extremely challenging due to mobility, unstable channel condition, and possible jamming attack from an adversary. To increase reliability, we propose a new software layer, called thin layer, that controls diversity schemes located at various network layers,...
The regional strategy study was aimed at coal mine disaster control and prevention, which deepens and enriches the macro-strategy of coal mine disaster control and prevention, and provides an important support for the rapid and healthy development of the regional coal industry. The country was divided into 4 regions: Northeast, North, South and Xinqing. In view of the regional status of coal mine...
The coverage and connectivity problem in sensor networks has received significant attention of the research community in the recent years. In this paper, we study this problem for sensors deployed in temperature sensitive environments. This paper is motivated by the issues encountered during deployment of bio-sensors in a human/animal body. Radio transmitters during operation dissipate energy and...
