Abstract :
We describe applications of policy-based reasoning algorithms in joint networking, including ground and airborne nodes, and illustrate how this approach can be used to enhance routing, network planning, mission planning, and spectrum allocation for tactical networking data links such as airborne networking waveform (ANW) and wideband networking waveform (WNW). The outcome of this research will be used to develop a rule-based mobile ad hoc networking (MANET) protocol to provide efficient decisions in wireless networks that must satisfy a variety of end-to-end quality-of-service requirements
