Mobile military networks are uniquely challenging to build and maintain, because of their wireless nature and the unfriendliness of the environment, resulting in unreliable and capacity limited performance. Currently, most tactical networks implement TCP/IP, which was designed for fairly stable, infrastructure-based environments, and requires sophisticated and often application-specific extensions to address the challenges of the communication scenario. Information Centric Networking (ICN) is a clean slate networking approach that does not depend on stable connections to retrieve information and naturally provides support for node mobility and delay/disruption tolerant communications-as a result it is particularly interesting for tactical applications. However, despite ICN seems to offer some structural benefits for tactical environments over TCP/IP, a number of challenges including naming, security, performance tuning, etc., still need to be addressed for practical adoption. This document, prepared within NATO IST-161 RTG, evaluates the effectiveness of Named Data Networking (NDN), the de facto standard implementation of ICN, in the context of tactical edge networks and its potential for adoption.

“…Radio networks for tactical communication require series of standard formatted messages which are used to exchange digital/analog data between radios, associated with the system. The exchange of this information permits continuous coordination and harmonization among radio nodes and sometimes between the tactical control systems involved [3], [4]. It minimizes mutual interference and significantly increases the effectiveness of the systems in a joint operation area.…”

The paper presents a novel approach for tactical networks in which radios form self-regulatory virtual sub-nets on the basis of control messages. The design uses hybrid of frequency division multiple access (FDMA) and time division multiple access (TDMA) approaches with less call setup delays and increases in network throughput. This multiple sub-nets based distributed algorithm exploits available spectrum resources, provides collision-free simultaneous transmissions and autonomous selection of time slots over different frequency sub-bands with self-organizing and self-forming network capabilities. We propose two schemes which provide multi-channel medium access control with autonomous scheduling of time slots for software-defined radios (SDRs). The schemes use request and acknowledgment frames as control messages to devise a distributed solution. These control messages alone help to form virtual sub-nets, preserve frequency channels and schedule transmissions over multiple time slot intervals, depend on the type of data messages. In order to demonstrate the behavior of sub-nets for tactical networks, theoretical findings are exploited with experimental analysis to provide practical implementation of schemes using contention-free time slotted common control channel for nodes coordination and time slotted collision-free multi-channel environment for data transmissions. The results show the effective coexistence of multiple transmissions in a network with increase in network throughput and lower the data latency up-to 76.8%, when compare to conventional MAC protocols. The design is workable for time sensitive, mission critical networks and expected to support multi-hop transmissions in similar manner. INDEX TERMS Tactical networks, time critical applications, software-defined radios, virtual sub-nets.

“…Sun, Y [7] et al studied the C2 structure design of distributed military organizations, established a multi-objective optimization model to balance and minimize the relative load of decision-makers, and proposed a multi-objective genetic algorithm. Evans J et al [8] mainly studied how to meet the requirements of the rapid decision-making cycle of tactical command and control. We discussed the security requirements of security packages and how named data networks meet these requirements.…”

Study on Master Slave Interaction Model Based on Stackelberg Game in Distributed Environment

et al. 2020

In view of the problems such as low efficiency, difficulty in resolving local conflicts and lack of practical application scenarios, existing in the interaction model of multi-agent systems in a distributed environment, a multi-master multi-slave interaction model was designed based on the Stackelberg game, which is applied to the interaction game problem between the controller and the participant in the command and control process. Through optimizing the Stackelberg game model and multi-attribute decision-making, the multi-master, multi-slave, multi-agent system of the Stackelberg game was designed, and the closed loop problem under the Stackelberg game is solved for dimension reduction and optimal function value. Finally, through the numerical derivation simulation and the training results of related system data, the high efficiency and strong robustness of the model were verified from multiple perspectives, and this model algorithm was proved to be true and highly efficient.
