Abstract

Rockwell Collins is developing a Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) compliant waveform to provide ad-hoc, dynamic wireless networking to mobile users on the battlefield. At the heart of this waveform is a flexible software system, the "Wireless Networking Engine" (WNE), which manages the transport of user data over multihop, dynamically changing radio links. The WNE allows Quality of Service (QoS) parameters to be associated with the data so that it can be handled in a manner appropriate to its bandwidth, priority, latency, and reliability requirements. The WNE also provides congestion and flow control feedback to help prevent the network from becoming overloaded with user traffic.
