Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) and Cognitive Radio (CR) have been considered promising to enhance the efficiency and utilization of the spectrum. In current overlay cognitive radio, spectrum sensing is first performed to detect the spectrum holes for the secondary user to harness. However, in a more sophisticated cognitive radio, the secondary user needs to detect more than just the existence of primary users and spectrum holes. For example, in a hybrid overlay/underlay cognitive radio, the secondary use needs to detect the transmission power and localization of the primary users as well. In this paper, we combine the spectrum sensing and primary user power/localization detection together, and propose to jointly detect not only the existence of primary users but the power and localization of them via compressed sensing. Simulation results including the miss detection probability (MDP), false alarm probability (FAP) and reconstruction probability (RP) confirm the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":330937,"journal":{"name":"2010 - MILCOM 2010 MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCE","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116195745","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}

One cause of concern regarding public key cryptography is the amount of computational and network resources required for key management.

The purpose of this paper is to offer an analysis of certificate validation operations from a scalability perspective. Furthermore, the focus of the analysis is on client side data rates. This focus has been chosen since the capacity of the network closest to the clients is scarce and likely to be a bottleneck. This is particularly true when the clients are connected through a wireless tactical network.","PeriodicalId":330937,"journal":{"name":"2010 - MILCOM 2010 MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCE","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121543928","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 availability of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) intellectual property (IP) that can be used to rapidly prototype and field communications systems makes this well-performing, standards-based approach to forward error correction (FEC) coding extremely attractive. In this paper, we evaluate the application of the DVB-S2 coding standard to an asymmetric satellite communications channel. The uplink comprises a fading optical link employing binary differential phase-shift keyed (DPSK) modulation, while the downlink comprises an RF link employing 16-ary amplitude and phase shift keyed (16-APSK) modulation. To simplify the payload implementation, hard-decision uplink demodulation is considered with uplink channel state information transmitted on the downlink for soft-decision decoding in the ground-based receiver. Additionally, we outline many of the tradeoffs in the overall system design, and some performance results of a baseline design are presented.","PeriodicalId":330937,"journal":{"name":"2010 - MILCOM 2010 MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCE","volume":"2010 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121742777","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 underlying theoretical problem consists of the lossy transmission of multiple independent analog sources over a Gaussian MIMO Multi-Access Channel (MIMO-MAC), under a Mean-Square Error (MSE) criterion. We analyze distortion exponent, i.e., the order of decrease of the channel state information MSE for increasing channel SNR, and design very simple \"almost uncoded\" schemes that outperform conventional approaches such as finite-rate feedback and uncoded \"analog\" feedback.","PeriodicalId":330937,"journal":{"name":"2010 - MILCOM 2010 MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCE","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114774907","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 transmitter encompasses 12 electro-absorptive modulated lasers (EMLs) with wavelength channels from 1270nm to 1380nm on a 10nm channel grid. The lasers are grouped in three (3) arrays with each array monolithically integrating four (4) EMLs operating at 43Gbps each. The three EML arrays are flip-chip bonded to a planar light-guide circuit (PLC), which serves as the mounting platform and provides the optical multiplexer function. The receiver couples the signal through an optical PLC-based de-multiplexer to twelve (12) high-speed PIN detectors with a 3dB bandwidth of more than 50GHz. The transmission tests were performed over 2km of SMF with each channel tested at 40Gbps. For the demonstration, a commercial semiconductor optical amplifier was used in front of the receiver to boost the signal. Each channel was tested to be error free to <10−11 BER with most <10−12 BER. The total cross-talk was measured to be between 1 and 2dB. The channel spacing of 10nm was chosen to enable a low cost transmitter operation without using Thermo-Electric-Coolers (TEC) in order to reduce the overall power dissipation. Instead of a TEC, resistive heating can be used to limit the temperature excursions and to enable an operating range of the TOSA from −5 to +75 deg C. This technology demonstration is a step towards the final goal of 1 Terabit/s transmission for Datacenter applications.","PeriodicalId":330937,"journal":{"name":"2010 - MILCOM 2010 MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCE","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125570179","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}

They can be used in scenarios like environmental monitoring and mine countermeasure but may also be part of modern marine warfare. A prominent example is Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW) with multistatic sonars. These networks may be sparse with potentially long distances between single nodes such that direct communication is not always possible. Furthermore, long propagation delays and shadowzones have a negative impact on the communication channel. A solution to overcome these challenges is to realize a multi-hop network by using ad-hoc routing. A well known protocol from terrestrial networks is the On-Demand Multicast Routing-Protocol (ODMRP). In this paper, we present an optimization for ODMRP, named Route-Discovery-Suppression, to improve its performance for the deployment in underwater networks. We evaluate the performance through simulations in different scenarios and show its impact in comparison to other routing protocols.","PeriodicalId":330937,"journal":{"name":"2010 - MILCOM 2010 MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCE","volume":"221 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132106658","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}

Maximizing interference is also of interest in military jamming applications. When AHMNs are used to facilitate remote detonation of explosives, continuous transmission may not be the goal. Rather, communication of a single message is sufficient to cause harm. For this purpose, it is useful to characterize the interference parameters, such as power and node density, in order to minimize the probability that any message can be communicated across the AHMN. In this paper we construct a model of randomly placed communication and interference nodes, and derive the closed-form probability of establishing an pairwise link within the network given the presence of multiple interferers. Though the expression for link probability is highly non-linear, we show that a binary Markov model accurately approximates the value. We use Monte-Carlo simulations to validate our analytical results, and give an example of how our simple analysis is a useful first step in designing an interference strategy.","PeriodicalId":330937,"journal":{"name":"2010 - MILCOM 2010 MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCE","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132359852","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}

Each MAP detector exploits soft decision feedback from previously processed rows, columns, or files. An EXIT chart technique is proposed for efficient optimization of the weights applied to the log-likelihood ratios exchanged between MAP detectors. On the 2×2×2 averaging-mask channel, the proposed algorithm achieves performance within 2.0 dB of the maximum likelihood performance bound.

DSA allows network operators to adapt to last minute spectrum assignment planning changes as well as changes made after deployment. DSA also allows the radios to overcome even unplanned, unexpected interference sources. The technology was initially developed for the DARPA XG program, and now several military radio platforms are currently being extended to integrate the technology. We present a case study of dynamic spectrum access software technical and operational integration challenges. We also present the benefits from developing and deploying a single core radio software application that follows commercial iPhone-like solutions. We describe an approach that obviates many problems by abstracting radio components into a set of device classes. We also define an open application-programming interface for interacting between the device classes and the dynamic spectrum access components. We have defined an open management interface for allowing consistent spectrum management across all platforms. This approach supports a scalable proliferation of the technology, future enhancements across platforms, and provides compatible spectrum management paradigm across platforms. This also enables upgrades performed in a consistent fashion. Our experience and results show that the approach performs well across heterogeneous military radio platforms with vastly varied hardware and software features. This software-only extension is achieved via adaptively collecting, analyzing, and responding to radio's spectral environment at runtime. This paper is a case study of lessons learned, challenges with network and waveform integration, and a roadmap for other dynamic access spectrum developers to consider in future applications.","PeriodicalId":330937,"journal":{"name":"2010 - MILCOM 2010 MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS CONFERENCE","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130101812","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}
