“…Moreover, we proposed a mobility model to translate any sequence of network states into mobility traces. This model opened the discussion that sequences of data rates to create network changes, as we previously investigated in [4], [5], [7]- [9], can follow different mobility patterns even though it comes from the same sequence of changes. Reproducing these changes in a real environment requires, in most cases, the addition of mobile nodes.…”

“…The goal is to design and test the control mechanisms handling the ever-changing communication scenarios. For example, in [5], [8] we introduced multi-layer control mechanisms doing flow control, handling packet loss and mitigating radio buffer overflow. Our stochastic models use Markov chains to create the communication scenarios therefore the results can be replicated for independent verification.…”

This paper addresses the challenge of testing military systems and applications over different communication scenarios with both network conditions and user data flows changing independently. We assume that systems developed to handle ever-changing communication scenarios are more likely to be reliable and robust during real military operations. Therefore, we propose the Tactical Network Test (TNT) platform to automate the evaluation of military systems and applications over real military radios using a reproducible test methodology. TNT has four main goals (i) the creation of QoS-constrained data flows; (ii) the execution of models to change network conditions; (iii) a performance evaluation of a military system over ever-changing conditions; and (iv) the monitoring and performing data analysis. Our platform was used to execute experiments in a VHF network by sending uniformly distributed data flows during seven different communication scenarios, either generated by a stochastic model or mobility models. The experimental results are used to discuss the military system's performance by quantitative analysis using network metrics and the test scenario characterization through mobility metrics.

“…For example, [32] solves problem A by introducing a model to generate ever-changing user data flows using a set of QoS-constrained messages. In [29], [30], the authors introduced multi-layer control mechanisms doing flow control through a hierarchical queuing in order to handle the network changes mitigating radio buffer overflow and packet loss. The proposed mechanism was evaluated over ever-changing communication scenarios using different patterns of data rate changes supported by real VHF radios [31].…”
