“…All aircrafts can be equipped with discrete data link systems (e.g., Link-16, TTNT, and MADL) [42] which allow aircrafts to transmit information about its current status (e.g., geographical position updates, intents, and speed) periodically and automatically. Thus, in most cases, the hypervisor in application layer can obtain the topology of ATSN formed by lead aircrafts, timely and accurately [43].…”

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.

It is inevitable that high-intensity, wide-spectrum electromagnetic emissions are generated by the power electronic equipment of the Extra High Voltage (EHV) power converter station. The surveillance flight of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is thus, situated in a complex electromagnetic environment. The ubiquitous electromagnetic interference demands higher electromagnetic protection requirements from the UAV construction and operation. This article is related to the UAVs patrol inspections of the power line in the vicinity of the EHV converter station. The article analyzes the electromagnetic interference characteristics of the converter station equipment in the surrounding space and the impact of the electromagnetic emission on the communication circuits of the UAV. The anti-electromagnetic interference countermeasures strive to eliminate or reduce the threats of electromagnetic emissions on the UAV’s hardware and its communication network.

“…The SD-ATN controller of the active control node collects the M-info generated by different common nodes and extracts the information useful for updating the global network view. Similar to the system framework presented in [19], a SD-ATN transmission system is composed of a common SD-ATN router and different radios. The SD-ATN router communicates with the radios through a common radioto-router interface (R2RI), which improves the interoperability by separating the radio capability (one RF hop) from the router functionality (multihop) and is helpful for routing computing.…”

“…For a given time slot, it is first considered to be assigned to the active control node's child whose buffer is not empty and which has the maximum number of M-info packets needed to be transmitted (lines [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. If this time slot is not assigned, the time slot is then considered to be assigned to the node that is not the child of the active control node (lines [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. If a node is scheduled to send, the number of the M-info packets in the node's buffer decreases and that of the corresponding receiver increases.…”

Aviation swarm is considered to be a promising organization of air combat forces to execute combat and noncombat air missions. As a critical component of an aviation swarm, airborne tactical network (ATN) provides the communication capability. Considering the deficiencies of today’s ATNs, it is unable to meet the communication demands of an aviation swarm, which motivates us to employ the software-defined networking (SDN) paradigm and design a SDN-enabled airborne tactical network (SD-ATN). For the SDN paradigm, network monitoring information (M-info) is the source of knowledge that forms the globe network view of the control plane; therefore, how to ensure that the control plane collects M-info from the data plane in a reliable and real-time way is a fundamental problem of designing the SD-ATN. To address this issue, a transmission framework called the MCF-SD-ATN is first designed, which makes it practical to provide dedicated quality of service (QoS) guarantees for the M-info collection. Then, a communication protocol called the MCP-SD-ATN is designed to implement the M-info collection work based on the MCF-SD-ATN. We implement the MCF-SD-ATN and the MCP-SD-ATN in EXata 5.1 for simulation. Simulation results show that the proposed solution is appropriate for M-info collection in the SD-ATN.
