A Survey of Slot Assignment Protocols for Tactical Data Links
Jun Tang · Electronic Science and Technology · 2013
In tactical data links,the complexity of modern battlefield environment leads to the diversity of slot assignment protocols,and the algorithms of slot assignment have major impact on delivery probability,transmission delay and throughput.In this paper,we review various kinds of slot assignment protocols at home and abroad for tactical data links.The merits and faults are discussed of the classical dedicated access,contention access and dynamic access slot assignment protocols respectively.Finally,we point out the future directions of research in network management system for tactical data links.
