The use of coexistence etiquettes in the development of adaptive access mobile military communications

Distributed channel assignment strategies usingcoexistence etiquettes for land based radio environment

“…Receivers have a noise floor of -130dBm and the MINSNR threshold is 10dB. A standard two ray based propagation model is used where path loss increases as r 4 , and with correlated log-normal shadow fading having a standard deviation of 8dB [3]. The effect of shadowing on communication links is split equally between transmitter and receiver, providing correlation with location.…”

“…Many distributed channel assignment schemes select channels based on the signal strength at a communication node prior to use [1,2]. Such algorithms require minimal intervention and often make use use of a coexistence etiquette, which allows different users/networks to share a common bandwidth [3]. This paper investigates the most suitable end of the communication link to select a channel prior to transmission to provide the highest capacity whilst also considering protocol complexity for a 1 point to point radio communication architecture, common in both Private Mobile Radio (PMR) and military scenarios [3].…”
