An RS decoding algorithm using the channel side information about the presence or absence of multipath interference and multiple access interference is also investigated. Through performance comparisons between various SSMA systems, it can be obtained that systems with dominant DS component outperform those with dominant FH component for the constant spreading factor. RS coded hybrid SSMA system gives a significant improvement in the average symbol error probability when compared to uncoded one. A lower coding rate perform better than higher rate. Given a fixed coding rate, RS code with large signaling alphabets is a better choice. RS decoding algorithm using side information or fixed threshold offers significant system performance improvement over the usual RS decoding algorithm without using side information.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":323612,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '93 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116698265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The future trend in tactical communications is to provide a seamless information network which bridges the communications networks and protocols through the use of a communications processing capability. This communications processing capability must provide the necessary connectivity to the local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) systems in addition to supporting the needed routing and message translation functions. A LAN-based communications processor (LBCP) offers a comprehensive set of communications services, allowing for a single, interoperable communications gateway to serve all of the functional areas. It provides a shared communications resource, furnishes flexible and reconfigurable communications interfaces, eliminates the need for multiple and duplicate interface elements, and allows accessibility to multiple tactical data networks (i.e. MPN, SINCGARS, ADDS). This paper presents an approach for providing a communications processor for tactical communications networks.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":323612,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '93 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"411 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122861094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead of a single advisory and a defined theater of battle, US forces face worldwide deployment in support of peace keeping activities and regional conflicts. In the new world order, US Forces will require flexible, worldwide, jam-resistant, low-probability-of intercept communications, including space-premium fighters. The integrated CNI subsystem (ICNIS), which includes Milstar satellite communications, could satisfy that need by upgrading the integrated avionics suite of existing fighters. Many of the Milstar functions, such as frequency conversion, signal processing, detection, display, and control could be performed in the ICNIS common avionics modules. The Milstar antenna for the fighter would be a hybrid, solid-state phased array being developed by Rome Laboratory for the Milstar frequency band-20 GHz receive and 44 GHz transmit. A feasibility study for the integrated CNI subsystem is currently underway. A brassboard development, demonstration, and flight test is also underway for the integrated tactical Milstar to demonstrate the Milstar satellite communications functions as part of a common avionics suite.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":323612,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of MILCOM '93 - IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131635067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
