Abstract
Abstract Airborne tactical networks are complex networks that connect various aircraft platforms via datalink systems. In the fierce battlefield, airborne tactical networks are under the risk of hostile node attack, causing route failures and packet losses. Reliable communication in airborne tactical networks is thus calling for an efficient node protection scheme design for routing strategies. Due to the inherent uncertainty of war, the enemy’s node attack is unpredictable, making it intractable to select the optimal node set to deploy defense countermeasures under limited resource. To hedge against such uncertainty, we propose an Attack-Oblivious Node Protection Strategy (AONPS) for survivable routing in airborne tactical networks. Through a crafty-designed randomized algorithm, AONPS can select an appropriate node set to protect. Both theoretical derivation and simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed AONPS can significantly enhance routing survival rate without accurate knowledge of the targeted attack nodes of the enemy, and achieve performance comparable to that of the ideal node protection strategy.
