Assessing Tradeoffs in Mobile Ad-Hoc Network Deployment: A Case Study in Ground Soldier Mobile Systems

Abstract

This study examines performance tradeoffs in the deployment of EPLRS networks with emphasis on the impact of radio density. We formulate three models of network operation and exercise these models under various deployment scenarios. Our findings indicate that while increasing radio density need not have a significant detrimental impact on network performance, it can pose additional challenges from a network management perspective.
