VB-DSR uses a dynamic source routing (DSR) protocol over the VCL structure, which is a resource management and clustering technique for tactical communications. The application of third generation personal communications services to tactical communications is enabled through a hybrid, i.e., ad hoc and cellular, infrastructureless architecture by VCL. VB-DSR enhances the schemes for the ad hoc components of this architecture. The performance evaluation of the proposed technique shows that the VB-DSR is scalable for tactical communications.","PeriodicalId":191931,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2002.

The effect of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is also included in the analysis. The maximum-likelihood RAKE receiver for the combination of pulse noise and AWGN is derived. Pulse jamming usually has a significant effect when soft decision decoding is used, however, we show that the maximum-likelihood RAKE receiver effectively mitigates the effects of the pulse noise jammer. Phase noise causes an irreducible error floor when soft decision decoding is used. The maximum-likelihood RAKE receiver with hard decision decoding reduces the effect of pulse noise jamming and can provide performance below the irreducible error floor obtained with soft decision decoding.","PeriodicalId":191931,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2002.

While pure optical transparency avoids the high cost of deploying optical termination units (OTUs) for each wavelength channel, it incurs nest, costs with additional fiber requirements and reduced provisioning capability. This paper describes an intermediate option, selective transparency, that uses small pools of wavelength converters at cross-connect nodes, which combines the advantages of reduced OTU count, minimal additional fiber, and high reconfigurability to support changing traffic patterns.","PeriodicalId":191931,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2002.

The principle of conservation of complexity is utilized to identify healthy complexity norms objectively and detect attacks via deviation of these norms under TCP/IP. Observed complexity changes that fall within expected hounds are indicators of system health, while complexity changes outside the expected bounds for normal protocol and application use are indicators of system fault or attack. Experimental results using FTP normal and attack sessions are presented.","PeriodicalId":191931,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2002.

As part of this effort a new Common Air Interface (CAI) will be developed to standardize the waveform used between MUOS user terminals and the satellite.

A semi-analytical model is first developed to predict the BER performance of a typical PCS base station receiver in the presence of interference from a satellite ground station. The model takes into account the relative transmitted power, waveform structures, antenna patterns, relative geometry, and traffic patterns for both the PCS and satellite ground station systems. In order to assess the accuracy of the semi-analytical model, a simulation model is developed, which more accurately describes the PCS base-station receiver. Simulations are run for a small set of conditions and results show that the predictions of the simulation and semi-analytical models are in close agreement.","PeriodicalId":191931,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2002.

The previous results employ an analysis of network capacity in which the multiple-access interference in each link is modeled as a stationary, Gaussian random process. In this paper, we employ a substantial refinement of the model in which we account for the dependence of the power-control dynamics of the multiple reverse links in the network. An evaluation is presented for the capacity of the network.

The model represents an airborne station communicating with a ground station in a cluttered environment (e.g., ground-based, mobile transceiver in an urban or village region). The model call be used to produce multipath component delay, strength, and direction of arrival (DOA) information, and it is therefore well suited for simulating vector channels for smart antenna arrays and antenna diversity systems. This air-to-ground channel model is based on a three-dimensional ellipsoidal geometry and uses principles similar to those used by the geometrically based single-bounce elliptical (GBSBE) and geometrically based single-bounce circular (GBSBC) models. However, instead of assuming two ground-based stations, this geometric air-to,ground model uses altitude and range information. The result is the ability to simulate multipath air-to-ground channels with a geometry more appropriate for the physical configuration of the stations.","PeriodicalId":191931,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2002.

Application of these commercial systems/services to MILSATCOM architectures and concept of operations is discussed herein. These newly evolving satcom technologies for commercial aviation applications provide national and international governmental departments additional options to supplement supporting ever-expanding requirements in the rapidly changing \"information age\". The need to \"keep up\" with technology, which has life cycles of 12 to 18 months, versus the fielding of major new MILSATCOM infrastructure with life cycles of 10 - 25 years, leaves governments at tremendous shortfall in capability versus demand. Even with new programs fielded, the exponential growth of bandwidth requirements, as exemplified by the Internet, points to the need to supplement non-mission critical communications to other than high demand, mission critical government unique MILSATCOM assets. These new commercial broadband SATCOM systems and services offer the chance to \"bridge the gap\" between existing capabilities and future government programs while providing valuable operational experience that can be applied to those future programs. Moreover, the commercial broadband SATCOM systems/services can enable new communications architectures that help meet the \"network centric warfare\", global information grid connectivity, and real-time data requirements that exist today.","PeriodicalId":191931,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2002.
