Detectability models for multiple access low-probability-of-intercept networks
Robert F. Mills, Glenn E. Prescott · IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems · 2000
Increased demands for communications in the tactical battlefield have driven the development of multiple access low-probability-of-intercept (LPI) networks. Most detectability studies of LPI networks focus on the individual links of the network, in which the intercept and detectability calculations are conducted for a single network transmitter. We assume here that the interceptor does not attempt to distinguish one emitter from another, but rather focuses on the operational status of the network so that LPI network performance quality metrics can be established.
