Evaluations on Effectiveness of Bump-Slot over DAP-NAD-Based Tactical Wideband Wireless Networks

Part 9: Session 9: Network and Mobile ComputingInternational audienceMIL-SD-188-220 standard has specified the operations and functions of narrowband-based tactical networks. While the conventional tactical networks have mainly dealt with voice and short message data services, the future tactical networks are evolving towards broadband and multimediaenabled wireless Ad-Hoc networks. Therefore, this paper evaluates a network access method of the standard from the wideband network perspective, not narrowband perspective. In this paper, Deterministic Adaptable Priority Net Access Delay (DAP-NAD), one of the channel access methods specified in MIL-STD-188-220D with Change 1 standard, is simulated and evaluated over Wideband Networking Waveform–like environments in terms of Urgent precedence traffic. The simulation results conclude that unlike the narrowband environments, Bump-Slot, which is a unique time slot specified by the standard, does not play a critical role to enhance the performance in transmitting Urgent traffic over the wideband networks

Abstracts on Radio Direction Finding (1899 - 1995)

The files on this record represent the various databases that originally composed the CD-ROM issue of "Abstracts on Radio Direction Finding" database, which is now part of the Dudley Knox Library's Abstracts and Selected Full Text Documents on Radio Direction Finding (1899 - 1995) Collection. (See Calhoun record https://calhoun.nps.edu/handle/10945/57364 for further information on this collection and the bibliography). Due to issues of technological obsolescence preventing current and future audiences from accessing the bibliography, DKL exported and converted into the three files on this record the various databases contained in the CD-ROM. The contents of these files are: 1) RDFA_CompleteBibliography_xls.zip [RDFA_CompleteBibliography.xls: Metadata for the complete bibliography, in Excel 97-2003 Workbook format; RDFA_Glossary.xls: Glossary of terms, in Excel 97-2003 Workbookformat; RDFA_Biographies.xls: Biographies of leading figures, in Excel 97-2003 Workbook format]; 2) RDFA_CompleteBibliography_csv.zip [RDFA_CompleteBibliography.TXT: Metadata for the complete bibliography, in CSV format; RDFA_Glossary.TXT: Glossary of terms, in CSV format; RDFA_Biographies.TXT: Biographies of leading figures, in CSV format]; 3) RDFA_CompleteBibliography.pdf: A human readable display of the bibliographic data, as a means of double-checking any possible deviations due to conversion
