Military applications are a primary use of wireless networking and are best served by informed research that avoids making assumptions that are based on presumed military requirements. |
Many research papers propose algorithms and communication approach for network sizes of thousands of nodes and above. |
Military network sensor nodes will be extremely small, lightweight and cheap. These are combined with the need for long battery lifetime. |
These assumptions have led to the following requirements:
(a) Tailored routing and transport protocols are needed
(b) Short distances between nodes (often just a few metres) are taken for granted
(c) Special-purpose operating systems are required. |
In practice these assumptions are more challenging than required in the near-term for current military needs while other aspects such as tamper-resistance are not addressed. |
Thus, We will be studied Underground Sensor Networks for Military and Peer Aware Communication for Military Networks. |
