Improved HF Data Network Simulator, Software User's Manual
Abstract
This effort advances the state-of-the-art in networking for both data/voice communications in the HF (2- 30 MHZ) band. This is contained in a PC portable simulation called the Improved HP Data Network Simulator (INS). INS algorithms emphasize a decentralized, distributed architecture and interoperability for both military and civilian air-land-sea mobile users. Up to 100 users are contained in up to 10 nets that make up one network. The intended radii for the nets/network are 400 and 4000 miles respectively. Technical issues addressed are improved HF networking, LQA techniques, LPD/LPE waveforms for OPSEC, and frequency hop (FH) frequency management. The INS provides the means for configuring a network to any user's protocols/architectures with node, path and network results available over the 24 hour time period of the propagation model (IONCAP). To receive the INS, you must complete a STATEMENT OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR RELEASE OF USAF OWNED DEVELOPED SOFTWARE. Contact the RL program manager to obtain this. A Phase II effort titled Adaptive Network Controller (ANC) will put the Phase I algorithms into use on real-time over-the-air HF networks to demonstrate the improvement in HF communications.
