Research on Tactical Communication Network Simulation Training Based on CGN

Abstract

Training for Tactical Communication Network (TCN) and its various communication equipments needs support of realistic dynamic networking environment. To meet the requirement, the concept of Computer Generated Network (CGN) was advanced, which borrowed the idea of Computer Generated Forces (CGF). According to this, the CGN principle frame was designed and a realization framework for network simulator based on CGN was brought out. Then three different modes for TCN simulation training based on the concept of CGN were put forward, namely, all-element virtual mode, part-element virtual mode and all-element actual mode. The research introduced new method and novel idea for TCN simulation training.

Multiconstraint-Oriented Tactical Communication Network Planning Problem

“…In summary, it is common to abstract the network into a graph consisting of nodes and links describing the link relationships between nodes, and most scholars abstract the network into three elements consisting of nodes, links, and terminals, with the nodes corresponding to the switching and routing control class devices in the physical network, the links corresponding to the transmission class devices in the physical network, and the terminals corresponding to the various service terminal class devices in the physical net-work. The current research mainly classifies networks into simple networks and complex networks in terms of network topology, the former including star networks, ring networks, tree networks, and cellular networks and the latter mainly constructed for studying the behavior and characteristics of real network performance, including ER random network models, small world models (SW (small worlds)) [12], and scale-free network models (SF (scale-free)) [13].…”

“…The reliability of network systems can be summarized into two aspects. One is the ability of a network system to remain connected under specified conditions and for a specified period of time from a graph theory perspective [12]. The other is from the perspective of the functions undertaken by various networks, and the network system task reliability is the ability to accomplish the specified task of transmitting material, information, energy, and logical flows under the specified conditions and within the specified time.…”
