CSMA Performance Comparison of MIL-STD-188-220D Standard and IEEE802.11 Standards

초록

for the Korean Army and includes a tactical ad-hoc-type network, called Tactical Multiband Multifunctional Radio (TMMR). The hardware and waveforms of TMMR have been implemented and tested. The next requirement for TMMR might be a data link protocol to realize actual data exchanges. Two data link protocols are possible for TMMR:MIL-STD-188-220 standard-based and IEEE 802.11 standard-based. While the former is widely used in narrowband combat net radios, the latter is popular for commercial broadband wireless ad-hoc networks. In this paper, the latest version of MIL-STD-188-220 standard is reviewed, compared with IEEE 802.11 protocol, and evaluated over an OFDM-based wideband networking waveform, which is a newly designed waveform for military communications to enable broadband service over TMMR. Consequently, it demonstrates the feasibility of MIL-STD-188-220 standard for broadband TMMR.
