Distribution of Situation Awareness Data in Mobile Tactical Ad Hoc Networks Using the Fisheye Routing Technique

Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network is an important component in providing future military communication. To maintain information superiority and avoid unfortunate incidents, e.g., friendly fire, it is crucial for the network to provide a Situation Awareness (SA) service. In this paper we analyze if it is possible to combine the transmission of SA position information with the routing control traffic. We show that this can be made to work for the Fisheye State Routing protocol, and that the military demands on position accuracy can be fulfilled for nodes connected to the network in a tactical scenario.
