Abstract

Deals with the control of battlefield radio communications. The particular properties of battlefield communications in modern warfare make a distributed access control highly desirable. Inputs for such a control are approximate descriptions of the status of the network. The control rules are heuristic because the controlled process does not have a set point. On the other hand, the network nodes have ample computing power that can be used to analyze the input and exercise access control algorithms. These circumstances suggest the use of fuzzy-logic control procedures. The author has developed such control procedures and tested their behavior on a computer model of battlefield communications
