Abstract

Military communication networks are moving toward data networks but the importance of voice still requires voice capability. The networks are looking to have fire support (FS), situational awareness (SA) and voice, if possible, on the same network. The deterministic adaptable priority network access delay (DAP-NAD) is shown to be a very efficient media access control algorithm in this situation. It is shown that DAP-NAD can efficiently, control voice, SA, and FS for reasonable loads of each. It is also shown that DAP-NAD significantly outperforms voice priority net access delay (V-NAD), for the scenarios that V-NAD has published its performance characteristics
