Multi-Layer, Mission-Aware QoS Management Techniques for IP Applications in a Joint Battlespace Infosphere

Overview This paper presents an overall architecture and prototype for Mission-Based Network Management in a Joint Battlespace Infosphere (JBI) that combines application, network, and MAC-layer QoS management. It describes an MBNM prototype system for an Air Force Cooperative Attack mission with swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles. The prototype implementation uses BBN's Quality Objects (QuO) software framework to develop a UAV Imagery Application that adapts its behavior based on mission-state and network-state in order to meet its required end-to-end quality of service; SRC's Wireless Ad hoc Routing Protocol (WARP) to implement a bandwidth-based MANET routing algorithm; and the Common Open Policy Service (COPS) as the policy distribution mechanism.
