Abstract
To this end, the ROK military is developing a Korean Tactical Data Link (Link-K) in two stages: Basic and Completion types. Currently, the basic type of the Link-K has a limitations for supporting Mission Group(MG)s, such as to share unnecessary information and inefficient routing, because all RICCs simply broadcasts the same information in the basic type of the Link-K. In this paper, we propose a Zone-based Wireless Link-K network structure and a routing algorithm. To improve the effectiveness of the proposed routing algorithm, we have studied a filtering method that adjusts the message data according to the priority of the message and a method of controlling the load of the network. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, it is proved that it is effective to support the mission task group compared with the existing wireless Link-K routing algorithm according to the operational scenario situation.
