“…Mobility: Mobile‐based relay communicators provide a wide communication range to all mobile forces to explore the hidden mobile areas and generate a field report about the recent events observed in the operating environment. As telecommunication becomes complicated, the mobility pattern in several relay sub‐systems and mobile forces changes, leading to unpredictable knowledge about their network connectivity and hidden obstacles in the operating environment [15].…”

Conventional Mobile Communication Systems (MCS) reliably transfer critical messages from authorised remote information sources like military bases and ground control stations in the war field. As tactical advancement grows rapidly, the challenges of transmitting tactical messages via conventional satellite methods increase the processing overhead related to cost, Line of Sight (LOS) communication, packet loss, delay, and retransmission requests. Modern mobile communication systems use Airborne Node Networks (ANN) between satellites and Mobile Ground Nodes (MGNs) as they provide many advantages in mobile communication systems. Hence airborne network reduces the burden of satellites as they are only used as relay stations. The mobility problem caused by ANN and MGNs is solved by proposing a novel constructive airborne‐ground matrix algorithm known as the Who‐To‐Whom (WTW) matrix. With the help of this matrix acting as a reference index, it determines which nodes relate to whom at every time interval T in the tactical environment. This WTW matrix holds precise status/information about connectivity among all stakeholders in the operating environment by carefully and effectively accounting for frequent location changes. The methodology of the proposed matrix is that it contains the physical parameters of the nodes and their behaviour in the tactical environment. The WTW matrix construction algorithm discusses how the reference matrix is constructed in every aerial node to monitor the mobile ground nodes by leading them to safety and providing aerial guidance as they move along the tactical environment. The performance metrics are measured with other existing schemes, and the merits and demerits of the proposed WTW matrix are identified and discussed in detail.

“…Due to the close relationship between node mapping and link mapping, it is essential to take the link interference into account when mapping virtual nodes. Instead, a reliable mapping approach scheme was proposed under complex interference in our previous work [27]. It adopts the Shannon formula to rank all the valuable physical nodes for mapping virtual nodes.…”

“…Nevertheless, these works do not fully consider the influence of link interference when mapping virtual nodes, which can provide high reliability for the virtualization of ATNs. Therefore, a reliable mapping approach scheme was proposed for ATN virtualization under harsh air-combat field in our previous work [27]. It adopted the Shannon formula to estimate the reliability of wireless nodes for mapping virtual nodes.…”

“…However, the unstable link quality of wireless SLinks makes these approaches not appropriate for ATNs considering the complex interference. Thus, it adopts a link mapping based on opportunistic routing and differentiated transmission rates in our previous work [27]. To decrease the time complexity, the SLinks that fail to meet the constraint Equation ( 16) will not be considered for mapping VLinks in the preprocessing process of ATSN as given in Line 15…”

“…In this paper, we propose a one-stage mapping strategy that can adopt the correlation between node mapping and link mapping to improve the resource utilization in the long run t . Also, the running time of the inner loop (Lines 12 to 18) is determined by Line 16 that has a running time of OðjN S j log ðjN S jÞ + jL S jÞ in [27]. Thus, it has a total running time of OðjL V t jðjN S j log ðjN S jÞ + jL S jÞÞ.…”

Airborne tactical networks (ATNs) built on network virtualization (NV) can enable efficient information sharing for network-centric warfare by breaking the tight coupling between applications and network infrastructure and thus solving the network ossification problem. With dynamic changes during military missions, the application of virtualization is challenged by the changing demands on network resources when instantiating multiple virtual networks (VNs) on a shared substrate network (SN), known as virtual network embedding (VNE). However, existing dynamic VNE algorithms, mostly designed for wired networks, focus on the dynamic changes of single VN and do not consider the dynamic changes of different VNs. The proper processing of changes of different VNs is beneficial to improve the embedding profits of VNs. On these backgrounds, we investigate the dynamic wireless VNE that processes the dynamic changes of different VNs in the wireless environment of ATNs. A relationship matrix-based dynamic wireless VNE (DWVNE-RM) algorithm is proposed in order to maximize the acceptance ratio of VN requests. The dynamic changes of different VNs are classified into negative changes (requiring resource) and positive changes (releasing resource). Then, the relationship matrix between negative and positive changes is constructed to properly process the resource relationship among different changes in order to improve the acceptance ratio. In addition, the complex interference of ATNs is considered in the mapping or remapping of virtual nodes and links to improve the reliability. Through extensive simulation, DWVNE-RM is compared with multiple existing dynamic algorithms and outperforms over others.
