Ward (see IEEE Trans. Commun., vol.COM-13, p.474-83, 1965) for rapid acquisition of pseudonoise (PN) sequences works well only at moderate signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). A seed accumulating sequential estimation (SASE) method based on accumulating seeds of the received PN sequence is proposed, which performs well at low SNR also. The mean acquisition time of the proposed SASE method is derived by the generating function flow graph technique, and correct chip, detection and false alarm probabilities are obtained. Finally, numerical results show that the proposed SASE dramatically performs better than the conventional SE at low SNR and the improvement becomes larger as the period of the PN sequence increases.","PeriodicalId":136537,"journal":{"name":"2001 MILCOM Proceedings Communications for Network-Centric Operations: Creating the Information Force (Cat.

Effective management of battlefield networks requires such a hierarchical management architecture wherein managers can dynamically delegate management tasks to intermediate managers. The SHAMAN framework includes a spreadsheet-based intermediate manager with a scripting language and MIB (management information base), a polling subsystem and an event model; a prototype implementation of the system is available (see http://www.cis.udel.edu//spl sim/shaman). Our research has explored several applications of the SHAMAN system to tactical battlefield networks for the US Army. Described applications include a location management application, an application to reconfigure the dynamically changing topology of tactical internets, and another application to interface with OPNET simulations of battlefield networks.","PeriodicalId":136537,"journal":{"name":"2001 MILCOM Proceedings Communications for Network-Centric Operations: Creating the Information Force (Cat.

If accurate, such predictions can be used to allocate network capacity and to estimate quality of service. Future deployment of active-network technology promises to complicate prediction algorithms because each \"active\" message can convey its own processing logic, which introduces variable demand for processor (CPU) cycles. This paper describes a means to augment AVNMP, which predicts message load among active-network nodes, with adaptive models that can predict the CPU time required for each \"active\" message at any active network node. Typical CPU models cannot adapt to heterogeneity among nodes. This paper shows improvement in AVNMP performance when adaptive CPU models replace more traditional non-adaptive CPU models. Incorporating adaptive CPU models can enable AVNMP to predict active-network resource usage farther into the future, and lowers prediction overhead.","PeriodicalId":136537,"journal":{"name":"2001 MILCOM Proceedings Communications for Network-Centric Operations: Creating the Information Force (Cat.

There is a great deal of interest in seamlessly extending terrestrial IP networks via satellite. Unfortunately, the higher bit error rate (BER) and bandwidth delay product (BDP) of the satellite channel result in low channel utilization and reduced throughput for TCP traffic. The Wireless Networking Testbed at Lincoln Laboratory was developed to evaluate the performance of TCP/IP and potential protocol enhancements under realistic channel conditions. This paper extends the results presented in Stadler et al. (1999) to the land mobile satellite channel using the digital model presented by Lutz and Cygan (1991). The channel model, based on a two-state Markov chain, produces random bit errors under the assumption of Rician (non-blocking) or Rayleigh (blocking) signal statistics. The model parameters include signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), bit rate, velocity, and environment type (i.e., urban, highway, etc.). TCP behavior is characterized for selected values of the channel parameters under a variety of testbed configurations. Test results indicate that fading losses contribute to substantial performance degradation for TCP, even when the selective acknowledgement (SACK) option is enabled. In addition, two protocol enhancement techniques, a link layer protocol and the Wireless IP Suite Enhancer (WISE), are evaluated.","PeriodicalId":136537,"journal":{"name":"2001 MILCOM Proceedings Communications for Network-Centric Operations: Creating the Information Force (Cat.

Many papers at the three most recent MILCOM conferences have focused on combat net radios or ML-STD-188-220B. Several of these compared different MAC algorithms for data only and data and voice networks. The MAC algorithm with the best performance characteristics for a wide class of moderately sized networks appears to be deterministic adaptable priority network access delay (DAP-NAD). The DAP-NAD algorithm can be viewed as a modified implicit token passing algorithm. This paper presents a number of significant extensions and modifications to DAP-NAD, including efficient integration of data and voice. The token passing scheme is modified so that the token effectively jumps over stations that may have transmitted in the last period and allows heavily used nodes or \"higher priority nodes\" to have increased transmission opportunities. These modifications are shown to have markedly improved performance for the standard tactical Internet division and below (TIDB) network used to compare other MAC algorithms as well as on 16 node randomly loaded networks. Our modifications to DAP-NAD have further enhanced its ability to handle both data and voice efficiently, which is recognized by calling the MAC algorithm data and voice network access delay (DAV-NAD).","PeriodicalId":136537,"journal":{"name":"2001 MILCOM Proceedings Communications for Network-Centric Operations: Creating the Information Force (Cat.

In order to accomplish it, we develop a signaling protocol to help to select the route satisfying the end-to-end QoS requirements and reserve resources for each the flow when a session is initiated. A new mechanism is proposed to make packets of each flow keep the same route. Meanwhile packets belonging to the other classes of service are still in normal DiffServ. Bandwidth broker (BB) is introduced to allocate the resources in an autonomous domain and between them. We also give a simple discussion of our architecture and some consideration of the decentralized implementation of BB.","PeriodicalId":136537,"journal":{"name":"2001 MILCOM Proceedings Communications for Network-Centric Operations: Creating the Information Force (Cat.
