Tactical Wireless Communications and Networks: Design Concepts and Challenges, 2/e (Hardcover)

Providing a complete description of modern tactical military communications and networks technology, this book systematically compares tactical military communications techniques with their commercial equivalents, pointing out similarities and differences. In particular it examines each layer of the protocol stack and shows how specific tactical and security requirements result in changes from the commercial approach. The author systematically leads readers through this complex topic, firstly providing background on the architectural approach upon which the analysis will be based, and then going into detail on tactical wireless communications and networking technologies and techniques.

• Structured progressively: for readers needing an overall view; for those looking at the communications aspects (lower layers of the protocol stack); and for users interested in the networking aspects (higher layers of the protocol stack)
• Presents approaches to alleviate the challenges faced by the engineers in the field today
• Furnished throughout with illustrations and case studies to clarify the notional and architectural approaches
• Includes a list of problems for each chapter to emphasize the important aspects of the topics covered
• Covers the current state of tactical networking as well as the future long term evolution of tactical wireless communications and networking in the next 50 years
• Written at an advanced level with scope as a reference tool for engineers and scientists as well as a graduate text for advanced courses

本書提供了對現代戰術軍事通信和網絡技術的完整描述，系統地比較了戰術軍事通信技術與商業等效技術之間的異同，並指出了相似之處和差異之處。特別是它檢視了協議堆疊的每一層，並展示了特定的戰術和安全需求如何導致與商業方法的變化。作者系統地引導讀者進入這個複雜的主題，首先提供了基於分析的架構方法的背景，然後詳細介紹了戰術無線通信和網絡技術。

本書結構清晰，分為幾個部分：提供整體概述的部分、關注通信方面（協議堆疊的較低層）的部分，以及關注網絡方面（協議堆疊的較高層）的部分。它提出了解決當今工程師在實際應用中面臨的挑戰的方法。全書配有插圖和案例研究，以澄清概念和架構方法。每章還包含一系列問題，以強調所涵蓋主題的重要方面。本書涵蓋了戰術網絡的當前狀態，以及未來50年戰術無線通信和網絡的長期演進。

本書以高級水平撰寫，既可作為工程師和科學家的參考工具，也可作為高級課程的研究生教材。
