Management and Control of Highly-Dynamic Tactical Networks in Disruptive Environments

Abstract

The proposed project is a collaboration between MIT and The Naval Research Laboratory to develop novel algorithms for the management and control of highly-dynamic wireless network in disruptive environments. Such networks are of critical importance for future combat systems, sensor networks, and autonomous systems involving mobile ground and air vehicles. This projectwill develop algorithms for routing and scheduling that build upon recent theoretical breakthrough obtained by the PI. In particular, in recent work the PI developed a generalized routing and scheduling framework that overcomes many of the limitations of previously proposed algorithms and is particularly suitable to the tactical environment. The proposed effort will apply this framework to highly-dynamic tactical environments, taking into account the spatial and temporal aspects of wireless links, adversarial network dynamics, and Navy relevant application requirements. The developed protocols will be researched and validated using network simulation environments and scenarios that represent challenging technical areas of interest in Navy, USMC,and joint wireless networking.
