Abstract

Recently, many countries have been developing new protocols to improve the performance of tactical ad hoc networks for implementing NCW (Network Centric Warfare). Combat net radio (CNR) networks are the most important communication infra for the ground forces such as infantry of Army. U.S. Army had developed MIL-STD-188-220D that is the Interoperability Standard for DMTDs (Digital Messages Transfer Device Subsystems) for voice and data communication in CNR. MIL-STD-188-220D is a candidate for MAC protocol of TMMR which is next radio and has a few constraints to used in TMMR. NAD (Network Access Delay) defined in MIL-STD-188-220D needs time synchronization to avoid collision. However, it is difficult for time synchronization to fit in multi-hop environment. We suggest the enhanced DAP (Deterministic Adaptable Priority)-NAD to prevent conflicts and decrease delays in multi-hop CNR. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the performance in multi-hop CNR networks.

최근 많은 국가들이 NCW (Network Centric Warfare)를 구현하는데 기반이 되는 전술 애드 혹 네트워크의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 통신 프로토콜 개발을 활발히 진행하고 있다. 전투 무선망 (CNR, Combat Net Radio)은 육군의 보병과 같은 지상군에 있어 가장 중요한 통신 기반망이다. 미군은 전투 무선망에서 음성 및 데이터 통신을 위해 MIL-STD-188-220D을 개발하여 운용 중에 있다. 한국군의 차기 무전기인 전술 다대역, 다기능 무전기(TMMR)의 MAC 프로토콜의 후보인 MIL-STD-188-220D은 여러 제한사항이 존재한다. MIL-STD-188-220D에 정의된 DAP-NAD는 충돌회피를 위해 시간 동기를 필요로 하지만, 1홉을 벗어난 다중 홉의 환경에서는 시간 동기를 맞추기 어렵다. 다중 홉 환경에서 충돌을 방지하여 지연을 방지하는 향상된 DAP-NAD를 제안하였으며, 모의실험을 통하여 다중 홉 전투 무선망 환경에서 제안기법의 성능이 향상되는 것을 보였다.
