Nowadays, both military and civil emergency scenarios demand shared-situation awareness between the front-line elements, in order to maximize the effectiveness of the operations. This requires a communication system based on mechanisms that self-adapt to dynamic conditions and that are able to work under heterogeneous networks. The proposed Cognitive Routable Adhoc Network (CRAN) protocol allows efficient and distributed information sharing within the same hierarchy and between distinct hierarchical levels. The CRAN mechanisms contain the control plane, which includes the discovery mechanism and the autonomous adaptation when topology changes, and the data plane, which is responsible to forward tactical messages within the platoon. The evaluation results show that CRAN provides a fast knowledge forwarding with high message delivery and requires small bandwidth. This ensures real-time situation updates, improving operational reality awareness and more accurate decisions, improving the overall operation results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
