In recent years, there's been a large push in the U.S. Department of Defense to provide greater bandwidth efficiency amidst congested spectrum. This is especially true in airborne tactical networks where transmit rates are limited and optimized for interference mitigation. Airborne tactical networks (ATNs) differ from many ground networks in that most of the traffic is broadcast and multicast. One method to more efficiently utilize the medium is to build a connected dominating set (CDS) backbone to reduce relay redundancy with overlapping nodes. While building a CDS has been shown to reduce retransmissions, thus saving bandwidth, backbone nodes can easily become congested. In this paper, we apply network coding to backbone CDS in airborne tactical networks to potentially mitigate the issues of congestion. Specifically, we implement network coded CDS (NCDS) in the Linux kernel and evaluate its performance compared to no coding under various relevant topologies. The results show that although NCDS can provide gains in tightly controlled topologies, the gains are severely limited in random and relevant ATN topologies. |
