1.0 INTRODUCTION

1 Purpose

This document provides design, interface, and equipment detail for a special test bed used to evaluate a WiFi-based (802.11b) Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) made up of terrestrial and airborne nodes, with broadband connectivity back to a Network Operations Center (NOC). In addition, documentation associated with federal, state, and local approvals required to operate the test bed is provided.

This WiFi Test Bed Design Specification is the result of “Phase 1” activities associated with design and deployment/test plan creation. It represents the platform for “Phase 2” efforts involving initial WiFi network functionality checkout and rehearsal experimentation. It is anticipated that “Phase 3” of the project will include additional functionality and capability. This document will be updated to reflect changes and additions as they arise.

2 Background

Communication networks between and through aerial vehicles are a mainstay of current battlefield communications. Present systems use specialized high-cost radios in designated military radio bands. Current aerial vehicles are also high-cost manned or unmanned systems.

L-3 ComCept Inc. has contracted with the Air Force Material Command (AFMC), Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC), Special Projects (ASC/RAB) to establish and manage a Wireless Communications Test Bed project for the purpose of assessing a WLAN made up of terrestrial and airborne nodes operating with WiFi-based (802.11b) communications. The University of Colorado has been subcontracted to design, install and operate the test bed made up of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) equipment, and to integrate and operate Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) which will interact with it. The network shall support rapidly deployed mobile troops that may be isolated from each other, allow for ad hoc connectivity, and require broadband connection to a Network Operations Center. Experiments are to be performed to measure and report on the performance and effectiveness of the test bed communications capabilities.

1.3 Objective

The objective of the wireless communications test-bed effort is to deploy and test a COTS-based communications network made up of terrestrial and aerial nodes that employ state-of-the-art mobile wireless and Internet Protocol (IP) technology. The solution shall support rapid deployment of mobile troops that may be isolated from each other, and require broadband connectivity to a Network Operations Center. Experiments are to demonstrate the potential for rapid deployment of an IP-centric, wireless broadband network that will support both airborne and terrestrial military operations anywhere, anytime.

1.4 Approach

A platform supporting the IEEE 802.11b (“WiFi”) industry standard for Wireless Local Area Networks has been chosen as the basis for the test bed due to its support of broadband mobile wireless communications, dynamic ad hoc mesh network operation, and being commercially available at low cost. A common 802.11 platform will be utilized for all ground-based and UAV-based nodes. Special software (routing protocols) developed by the University of Colorado to efficiently manage ad hoc mobile mesh network functionality will be applied to the ad hoc network nodes.

The terrestrial and airborne communication devices will form an IP-centric network on an ad hoc basis. Broadband links will be established to a remote NOC location. Remote monitoring capabilities will allow for remote users to access data obtained, and to monitor the test site and activity on a real time basis. Packet data traffic in low, medium, and high-load regimes will be utilized for measuring performance and service support abilities. Typical multimedia applications (messaging, web page download, video, and VoIP) will be evaluated.

A location has been chosen that allows for uninterrupted testing of multiple deployment scenarios. Baseline performance will be established on a ground-to-ground connected configuration. Mobile node impacts will be tested. UAV deployment will allow for its introduction to the theater to be characterized. UAV effectiveness for connecting isolated troops will be evaluated, along with UAV abilities to extend the range of communication.

2.0 Test Bed Overview

An overview of the test site and test bed design is provided in the paragraphs below. More detailed test bed design information is included in sections to follow.

2.1 Test Site

The Table Mountain National Radio Quiet Zone (NRQZ) is owned by the Department of Commerce and operated by the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) approximately 10 miles north of Boulder, Colorado. The site is 2.5 miles by 1.5 miles on a raised mesa with no permanent radio transmitters in the vicinity. An aerial photo of the site is shown in 1a and a view at ground level on the top of the mesa is shown in 1b. A map of the site is shown in Figure 2, with fixed sites, nomadic personnel positions, isolated troop positions, and mobile unit paths identified. Necessary approval documents are included in Appendix B.

In Figure 2, the grid lines are 1000ft (300m) spacing. FS1 and FS2 are powered fixed site locations, and are connected via fiber optic cable. Broadband connectivity to the Internet and the NOC is through FS1 and FS2, and over the fiber optic connection. The green, large dashed, line highlights a public road circuit around the base of the mesa.

Table Mountain has several facilities that make it ideal for the wireless test bed needs. First it is a large 2.5sq mi zone where radio communications is controlled. The top is flat and unobstructed. The facility itself is a mountain obstacle suitable for obstructing users on opposite flanks of the mountain as in Scenario 1 in Figure 3. It is circled by public roads so that communication to or from the mountain can be easily set up from any direction. The site has buildings that can house equipment and provide AC power. Fiber optic cable runs exist between buildings. Finally, it has several areas suitable for UAV flight operations (one is labeled in Figure 2).

2.2 Deployment Scenarios

In order for the wireless network solution to be adequately tested for performance and effectiveness against deployment types, the test bed will be configured in multiple ways. Two broad scenarios, shown in Figure 3, will be used for testing the unique 802.11-based network solution.

[pic]

Figure 3: Deployment Scenarios.

Multiple configuration types will be involved with each scenario, and are detailed in a separate document titled Wireless Communications Test Bed – Modes & Configuration Report. That document also covers experimentation techniques for each configuration type as well as characterization approaches for ease of deployment and operation.

3 Network Overview

An overview of the wireless communications network to be established by the test bed is provided in Figure 4. As shown, a WLAN comprised of fixed, mobile ground, handheld, and aerial units is connected to a remote NOC location through a Local Command Center (LCC). Local area connectivity is made available with units supporting 802.11b wireless transmission and mesh network routing. Remote monitoring and display capabilities are possible through an internet connection. It is anticipated that LCC connectivity to the NOC and internet through an Iridium satellite link will be tested in Phase 3 of the program.

Figure 4: Network Overview

3.0 network Design

The WiFi network design is detailed in the following paragraphs on Network Architecture, Ad Hoc Mesh Networking, Monitoring, Security and Multimedia Application Equipment.

3.1 Network Architecture

The network architecture to be used for experimentation and monitoring is shown in Figure 5. Information on each node and the interfaces involved are provided in sections to follow.

Figure 5: Network Architecture

3.1.1 Ad Hoc Radio Network

The ad hoc radio network is made up of ground vehicle units, handheld personnel communicators, fixed site, and unmanned aerial communication points. A common radio and 802.11b WLAN interface platform is used between the ground vehicle, fixed site, and aerial nodes. Additional information on each node is provided in the following paragraphs.

3.1.2 Ground Vehicle Node

The ground vehicle node is a mobile vehicle equipped with an 802.11b mesh network radio, a GPS receiver, a power supply, and end-user equipment used for test and application demonstration purposes. Application demonstration equipment to be made available is laptop computers, VoIP phones, and video monitoring equipment. The end-user application equipment is connected to the mesh network radio via an Ethernet switch. Figure 6 depicts the equipment configuration to be within the mobile vehicles. The mesh network radio equipment used for the ground vehicle nodes, including the power supply and GPS receiver, is supplied by Fidelity Comtech, and identified by model number FCI-2601. All equipment is specified in greater detail in paragraphs 5 and 6.

Figure 6: Ground Vehicle Node Equipment

3.1.3 Handheld Node

The handheld personnel communicator is a commercial Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) with 802.11b wireless communication abilities, and special software (routing protocols) applied to efficiently manage ad hoc mobile mesh network functionality. Sharp Zaurus SL-5600 Linux PDAs are utilized.

[pic]

Figure 7: Handheld Personal Communicator - Sharp Zaurus SL-5600

3.1.4 Aerial Vehicle Node

The aerial vehicle is a UAV, and will be a modified version of existing designs developed at the University of Colorado. A CAD drawing for the airframe being developed for this project is shown in Figure 8. The payload bay is the shaded area and the dimensions (19.5x6.5x6.5) are shown in inches. These dimensions are the maximum space and available space is reduced by airframe ribs and tapering towards the tail. The designed performance includes a payload mass of 10lb, flight time of 90min, and cruise speed of 60mph. Control of the UAV for Phase 2 operations is manual via 900MHz remote control. Automatic waypoint control is planned for Phase 3 operations. Emergency recovery is through pre-programmed descent. UAV position and condition data will be supplied to the network along with communications data.

The UAV will be equipped with 802.11b mesh network radio equipment that is common to that used in the ground vehicles and fixed sites. Figure 9 depicts the equipment configuration to be within the UAVs. The mesh network radio equipment used for the UAVs, including the power supply and GPS receiver, is supplied by Fidelity Comtech, and identified by model number FCI-2701.

6 Fixed Sites

The fixed sites within the test bed will form a part of the active 802.11 communications network, and will be used for backhaul purposes. Backhaul traffic will be carried over the fiber ring located at the Table Mountain test site, and then transported to the monitor server over the internet. The Monitor Server is connected to the internet over a standard Ethernet connection. Much like the ground vehicle node, the fixed site node will be equipped with an 802.11b mesh network radio, a GPS receiver, a power supply, and end-user equipment used for test and application demonstration purposes. Application demonstration equipment to be made available is laptop computers, VoIP phones, and video monitoring equipment. The end-user application equipment is connected to the mesh network radio via an Ethernet switch. Figure 10 depicts the equipment configuration to be within the fixed sites. The mesh network radio equipment used for the fixed sites, including the power supply and GPS receiver, is supplied by Fidelity Comtech, and identified by model number FCI-2601. All equipment is specified in greater detail in paragraphs 5 and 6.

Figure 10: Fixed Site 1 Architecture

7 Network Operating Center (NOC)

For the test bed, all that is placed in the NOC location is a Monitor Server. The Monitor Server monitors and collects data from the UAV and ground nodes through Fixed Site 1 and Fixed Site 2. It also provides an interface for remote monitoring, with real-time display and play-back modes. The Remote Monitor connection will be over the internet. Connection to the Table Mountain test site will also be over the internet.

8 Remote Monitor

Remote monitoring capabilities will be built into the test bed so that remote observers will be able to monitor test bed performance, display results, and playback test scenarios. The remote monitoring and display capabilities are being designed via a Java interface. The following capabilities are anticipated. See Figure 11 for a monitor display example.

• Situation Map

• Network Status Messages

• Performance Graphs

• Drill-Down on Nodes

2 Ad Hoc Mesh Networking

802.11b nodes will be connected together using standard IEEE 802.11b WiFi cards. The cards being used are Orinoco Gold cards. The cards can be operated in “infrastructure” mode which allows them to communicate only through 802.11b access points. For the mesh networking that will be part of the test bed operation however, the cards will be operated in “ad hoc” mode, which allows any of the Mesh Network Radios to talk directly with each other. All network elements will communicate using IP version 4 (IPv4). More details of the 802.11 standard can be found at: ANSI/IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications 1999 Edition, IEEE, March 18, 1999.

The 802.11b standard allows one node to talk to another. Multi-hop routing capability is provided by the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol (The Dynamic Source Routing Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (DSR), David B. Johnson, David A. Maltz, Yih-Chun Hu, INTERNET-DRAFT: draft-ietf-manet-dsr-09.txt, 15 April 2003). DSR defines route discovery, forwarding, and maintenance protocols that enable the mesh network operation. Colorado University personnel have implemented this protocol so that it can be modified for testing, optimization, and monitoring. The DSR protocol is being implemented with the Click Modular Router language (), which is very flexible and provides a high degree of control on the network operation.

3 Monitoring

The test range monitoring will consist of additional software loaded upon each ad hoc node. This will allow for collection of performance statistics with time and location stamps measured from the GPS. This data is periodically sent to the Monitor Server through Fixed Sites 1 and 2. The total experimental data traffic is expected to be small and should not significantly impact the network throughput. Though small, for experimental control, we would like to minimize the monitoring traffic use of the ad hoc network.

Each network node collects the following data. The data is then sent periodically to the Monitor Server once every 15 seconds via Fixed Sites 1 and 2. See Figure 11 for a monitor display example.

• GPS position and time

• Number of data packets sent on each route

• Number of data packets received on each route

• Number of data packets lost due to congestion on each route Number of control packets received Number of control packets transmitted

Figure 11: Monitoring Display Example

3.4 Security

For the test bed, both physical and communication security is considered. The Table Mountain facility is a fenced facility that includes storage and work buildings that can be locked. Equipment such as pole mounted antennas and other outdoor equipment can be left set up over several days. Portable radios, laptops, and UAV equipment will be stored in on-site buildings or carried to and from the site.

To limit access to the wireless communication network, MAC filtering algorithms will be used. The hardware MAC address of every node on the test bed (approximately 20 in total) will be stored on the network devices and only packets that match one of these addresses will be processed. This will prevent casual users from gaining access to the network.

The monitoring server will require a password in order to have access to the remote monitoring facilities.

3.5 Multimedia Application Equipment

Multimedia applications include messaging, web page download, video, and VoIP. The applications are supported with the following end-user equipment. See sections 4 and 5, as well as the Data Sheet section – Appendix C of this document for additional details on the equipment.

6.0 Equipment Specifications

Equipment descriptions and specifications are provided in this section. Additional information may be found within the data sheets included in Appendix C.

6.1 Mesh Network Radio

The mesh network radio is comprised of hardware and software components. The hardware consists of a Soekris 4511 single board computer with 32MB of RAM and 256MB of CF storage connected to an 802.11b WLAN interface card, an RF amplifier with power that can be adjusted between 100mW and 1W, a GPS, and an antenna. These are mounted in a protective housing for the ground-based units, but, will be mounted inside the UAV airframe for the aerial units. The key here is that the radio is constructed of COTS components and only a single design is used for the different configurations. The weight without power supply will be approximately 1 kg. A block diagram of the Mesh Network Radio is shown in Figure 12. Pictures of the unit used for ground vehicles and fixed sites are provided in Figures 13 and 14. A picture of the UAV elements is provided in Figure 9.

Figure 13: Mesh Network Radio with Connecting Components

[pic]

Figure 14: Mesh Network Radio for Ground Vehicles and Fixed Sites

The mesh network radios will operate on a single radio channel. Additional channels will be utilized for network monitoring. The adjustable RF amplifier will allow for better control of range and connectivity in the network. For instance, at lower power levels, the range will be less and more relay hops will be required for a source to reach its destination. The highest power is the maximum allowed by the FCC. At this level, the maximum range with 802.11b can be tested. The GPS is installed solely for monitoring purposes. The antenna will be an integral part of the ground vehicle and fixed site unit housing, while on the UAVs will be mounted on the airframe. Power will come from several sources. The ground and aerial vehicles will use vehicle power. The fixed units will use AC line power. Personnel units will have battery power. The fixed site units will be mounted on building roofs or low poles. Vehicle mounted units will be attached to the vehicle roof.

The mesh network radios will be controlled by a Linux operating system installed on the single board computer. Standard Linux drivers and interfaces are available for the radio hardware. The ad hoc networking will use a version of the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocols implemented at the University of Colorado. The implementation is very flexible and will be modified for experimentation and monitoring purposes.

6.2 Handheld Communicator

The handheld personnel communicator to be used for simulating ground troop communications is a commercial Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) with 802.11b wireless communication abilities. Due to the need for an open operating environment, the Sharp Zaurus SL-5600 Linux PDA was chosen for its Linux® and Java™ based architecture. Special software (routing protocols) developed by the University of Colorado are applied to efficiently manage ad hoc mobile mesh network functionality.
