Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel distributed deadline-based routing and spectrum allocation algorithm for tactical ad-hoc networks. The proposed algorithm will enable nodes to adapt to various deadline requirements unique to each traffic classes. A tactical ad-hoc network needs to handle a variety of data flowing through the network including voice, surveillance video, threat alert among others. Each of these traffic classes may have different quality of service (QoS) based deadline requirements. It is critical to receive these packets before the deadline expires to make crucial decisions in the battlefield. Therefore, the network should be able to adapt to these requirements and maximize the effective throughput. Accordingly, a distributed deadline-based routing and spectrum allocation algorithm is designed to maximize the utilization of the available resources to ensure delivery of packets within the deadline constraints. The simulations show up to 35 % improvement in effective throughput and 26 % improvement in reliability as compared to the routing and spectrum allocation algorithm (ROSA).
