In addition there is variable modulation and coding (VCM), adaptive modulation and coding (ACM) as well as uplink power control capability. The wideband global SATCOM (WGS) satellite has both Ka-band and X-band capability utilizing 39 active channels of up to 125 MHz bandwidth each. This paper addresses the JIPM hub/spoke topology at Ka-band and determines the constraints and requirements on the user VSAT terminals to support global broadcast service (GBS) traffic. Two GBS upgraded terminal capabilities will be considered: GBS receive-only using the JIPM DVB-S2 receive-only capability and two-way service using the JIPM with a GBS terminal capable of supporting two-way transmission on WGS. Achievable data rates using the upgraded GBS terminal will be presented. The forward link data rates are improved by the use of DVB-S2 over the current DVB-S waveform. The terminal capabilities at Ka-band are determined by a number of return link considerations: the throughput in the return direction, propagation conditions at the terminal, the actual WGS beam being used and number of 125 MHz channels being used in that beam, the sharing of the beam with other users, location of the terminal within the beam, the pointing/tracking error for the GBS terminal. This paper considers the next generation receive terminal (NGRT) as the targeted GBS terminal for upgrade for both 2-way operation and the JIPM addition.","PeriodicalId":434891,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2008 - 2008 IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127606817","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}

In the past, the maximum frequency of operation of such chips were limited by that of the digital decimation filter (DDF) to about 30 GHz. Recently, we have designed a chip that allows the PMD front-end to be clocked twice as fast as the DDF, resulting in sampling rates of 46.08 GHz and 29.44 GHz for chips with critical current densities of 4.5 and 1 kA/cm2 respectively. We have also designed a new PMD front-end, with a quarter-rate quantizer (QRQ) that allows 18-20 dB extension of dynamic range. We are also pursuing a subranging ADC design with two PMD front-ends connected with fluxon amplifier and subtractor circuitry that promises a dynamic range extension by 25-30 dB. We report signal-to-noise ratio and spur-free dynamic range measurement results for various ADC chips, and project performance for future improvements.","PeriodicalId":434891,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2008 - 2008 IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"339 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115672865","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}

Using the ADC output signal, the demodulator demodulates each RF signal individually. The quantization noise process depends on the resolution of the ADC and is considered as a uniform distribution. The bit error rate of each RF signal is analyzed. Numerical results are provided for different ADC resolution.

Much of the research to date in the CR community has focused on spectrum-sensing techniques and multiple-access methods. Until recently, little work had been done in the general area of wireless network security and specifically the area of performance in the presence of jamming. Discussions on this topic have been inhibited in the greater CR community by a poorly defined lexicon, which makes addressing issues such as security and performance in jamming difficult. This paper attempts to provide a basic lexicon that can be used to clearly discuss the issues surrounding CR network security and performance in the presence of jamming. This paper then goes on to discuss the various jammer threats that might be encountered by a CR network and the ramifications of these threat types on CR network design.","PeriodicalId":434891,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2008 - 2008 IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114861971","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}

When ranges extend to hundreds of kilometers, there can be thousands of nodes in communications range. Since directional networks tend to incur an overhead cost per link, some process must select the potential neighbors to which a node actually links and are therefore reported as neighbors to the routing protocol. This process is known as topology management. If the purpose is to reduce the number of links, the key question is what criteria are used to select them. In this paper, we propose a matrix model that allows network managers to define pairwise standards for throughput, delay, and path redundancy. In the context of a time division multiple access system, our proposed objective is to meet the specified standards with the minimum number of links and time slot utilization, in order to meet second-order design objectives. If these standards matrices are periodically (but rarely) distributed, the network can work towards a common set of precisely defined performance objectives. We provide an example of an algorithm that can exploit this information to rapidly and scalably converge on a solution with minimal additional messaging overhead.","PeriodicalId":434891,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2008 - 2008 IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114375933","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}

Despite this important feature, the future generation of WMNs needs to support more and more applications, such as voice over internet protocol (VoIP) and multimedia content distribution. To efficiently support these diverse demands and to effectively utilize the wireless network, service-oriented network layer design has been proposed recently. A key idea of such a service-oriented design is that a user only needs to specify the service to the network, instead of the destination address in a traditional manner. In this work, we present a simple solution, namely, the service-oriented routing algorithm (SORA), to enable service orientation in WMNs. The proposed scheme works in a similar manner as the Domain Name System (DNS). Specifically, SORA associates IP addresses to services just like the DNS associates IP addresses to domain names. To demonstrate the viability of the proposed scheme, we have developed simple but efficient programs that are running in Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) devices, in particular, workstations and wireless mesh routers. Our experiments show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently provide distributed services in wireless mesh networks.","PeriodicalId":434891,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2008 - 2008 IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114624201","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}

How to keep the sensors informed of the current state of the mobile sink is the primary issue for the mobile sink management. In this paper, we propose a distributed mobility management scheme that uses a set of access points (APs) to support the data transmission from sensors to mobile sink. Compared with existing sink mobility support algorithms like the broadcast based method, TTDD and LURP, our approach eliminates network wide broadcast while balancing the communication overhead over all APs. A theoretical analysis shows that while the number of source nodes below certain threshold, our approach outperforms the network wide broadcast and local broadcast approaches in view of communication overhead for ranges of network parameters such as network size and mobile speed. The simulation results match the analysis very well and proved the advantage of proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":434891,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2008 - 2008 IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114686370","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 basis of our approach is found in the observation that the discrete-time samples from a CPM waveform constitute a constant envelope time domain sequence which can be DFT-pre-coded and subsequently mapped to a set of orthogonal subcarriers for an FDMA-style transmission. By a judicious selection of the subcarrier mapping scheme, we show that this new hybrid waveform retains the high power efficiency of CPM. Because it is based on CPM, it is compatible with existing telemetry signaling formats. In addition, it is characterized by a high spectral efficiency due to the concept of overlapping but mutually orthogonal narrowband subcarriers, thus allowing non-interfering multiple-access.","PeriodicalId":434891,"journal":{"name":"MILCOM 2008 - 2008 IEEE Military Communications Conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114956091","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}
