A study on QoS routing scheme for tactical ad-hoc network

Abstract

Recently developments in the field of telecommunications and network technology has been formed new paradigm shift in defense weapon system. The military also developing the Tactical Information Communication Network (TICN) system to meet the changing aspects of these wars. To equip its function from the battlefield, TICN system have to be received real-time information from the battlefield troop, and the key technologies that support these features is MANET (Mobile Ad-hoc Network) routing protocol. In this paper, basis on the tactical environment of small combat units, by studying on the MANET routing protocol that can be transmitted in real time & reliable information, suggest efficient routing protocol in tactical MANET that can be applicable to advanced digital battlefield. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH.
