Improving The Quality Of Service And Security Of Military Networks With A Network Tasking Order Process, Matthew D. Compton
Improving The Quality Of Service And Security Of Military Networks With A Network Tasking Order Process, Matthew D. Compton
Theses and Dissertations
This research presents a Network Tasking Order process that collects mission plans, network capabilities, and historical records to build a Network Tasking Order (NTO). The NTO document directs the form and usage of the network, much like an Air Tasking Order (ATO) directs the usage of air power. The NTO process is fleshed out with the content and format of the NTO given herein for the first time. Tools such as topology control algorithms are then shown through simulation to improve the quality of service of the network by finding favorable ways to connect the assets identified during the NTO …
Analysis Of A Rumor Routing Protocol With Limited Packet Lifetimes, Peter R. Francik
Analysis Of A Rumor Routing Protocol With Limited Packet Lifetimes, Peter R. Francik
Theses and Dissertations
Wireless sensor networks require specialized protocols that conserve power and minimize network traffic. Therefore, it is vitally important to analyze how the parameters of a protocol affect these metrics. In doing so, a more efficient protocol can be developed. This research evaluates how the number of nodes in a network, time between generated agents, lifetime of agents, number of agent transmissions, time between generated queries, lifetime of queries, and node transmission time affect a modified rumor routing protocol for a large-scale, wireless sensor network. Furthermore, it analyzes how the probability distribution of certain protocol parameters affects the network performance. The …
Decisive Routing And Admission Control According To Quality Of Service Constraints, Cindy C. Reese
Decisive Routing And Admission Control According To Quality Of Service Constraints, Cindy C. Reese
Theses and Dissertations
This research effort examines, models, and proposes options to enhance command and control for decision makers when applied to the communications network. My goal is to research the viability of combining three students’ past research efforts and expanding and enhancing those efforts. The area of this research is predicting a snapshot of the communications network, context-aware routing between network nodes, and Quality of Service-based routing optimization in order to create an intelligent routing protocol platform. It will consolidate efforts from an Intelligent Agent Based Framework to Maximize Information Utility by Captain John Pecarina, Dialable Cryptography for Wireless Networks by Major …

Effective Mobile Routing Through Dynamic Addressing, Heungsoon Park
Theses and Dissertations
Military communications has always been an important factor in military victory and will surely play an important part in future combat. In modern warfare, military units are usually deployed without existing network infrastructure. The IP routing protocol, designed for hierarchical networks cannot easily be applied in military networks due to the dynamic topology expected in military environments. Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) represent an appropriate network for small military networks. But, most ad-hoc routing protocols suffer from the problem of scalability for large networks. Hierarchical routing schemes based on the IP address structure are more scalable than ad-hoc routing but are …
