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 …
