Wireless tactical network (WTN) is the most important present-day technology enabling modern network centric warfare. It inherits many features from WMNs, since the WTN is based on existing wireless mesh networks (WMNs). However, it also has distinctive characteristics, such as hierarchical structures and tight QoS (Quality-of-Service) requirements. Little research has been conducted on hierarchical protocols to support various QoS in WMN. We require new protocols specifically optimized for WTNs. Control packets are generally required to find paths and reserve resources for QoS requirements, so data throughput is not degraded due to overhead. The fundamental solution is to adopt topology aggregation, in which a low tier node aggregates and simplifies the topology information and delivers it to a high tier node. The overhead from control packet exchange can be reduced greatly due to decreased information size. Although topology aggregation is effective for low overhead, it also causes the inaccuracy of topology information; thus, incurring low QoS support capability. Therefore, we need a new topology aggregation algorithm to achieve high accuracy. In this paper, we propose a new aggregation algorithm based on star topology. Noting the hierarchical characteristics in military and hierarchical networks, star topology aggregation can be used effectively. Our algorithm uses a limited number of bypasses to increase the exactness of the star topology aggregation. It adjusts topology parameters whenever it adds a bypass. Consequently, the result is highly accurate and has low computational complexity.

In this paper, we focus on comparison and analysis of performance for existing Topology Aggregation algorithm. For these, we designed and implemented PNNI routing simulator which contain various TA schemes, and evaluate performance of TA schemes by this simulator. The PNNI 1.0 specification of the ATM Forum is recommended that hierarchical routing protocol and topology information is aggregated in the network constructed hierarchically Aggregating topology information is known as TA(Topology Aggregation) and TA is very important for scalability and security in network. Therefore, the performance of PNNI network would vary with TA schemes and routing algorithm. PNNI routing simulator can be applied to develope Routing algorithm and TA algorithm and can be develope these algorithms in short period.

In this paper, we aggregate multi-links information between boundary nodes using the line segment scheme that aggregates topology information within PG referring bandwidth and delay parameter. To do this, we propose a modified line segment algorithm using two line segment method that represents two points which consist of delay-bandwidth pair to reduce topology information and provide a flexibility to the multiple-links aggregation. And we apply it to current star topology aggregation. Through the simulation result analysis, the proposed star topology aggregation scheme presents the better performance than existing scheme.

In this paper, we propose an efficient full mesh topology aggregation method in PNNI networks. The proposed scheme can search multi-links efficiently using the depth priority method based on hop count instead of searching the all links. To do this, we propose a modified line segment algorithm using two line segment method that represents two points which consist of delay-bandwidth pair to reduce topology information and provide a flexibility to the multiple-links aggregation. And we apply it to current full mesh topology aggregation. To evaluate performance of the proposed scheme, we compare/analyze the current method with the proposed scheme with respect to call success rate, access time and crank back rate. The result is that the proposed scheme is better than the current scheme in performance.
