A system and method for implementing M-TIF to integrate one or more non-IP tactical nodes as an integral part of a 5G network includes a tactical translator. The tactical translator provides I/O functionality, message encapsulation, message translation, and IP-to-non-IP address translation. The tactical translator may be interposed between a tactical gateway and a tactical proxy to securely bridge legacy non-IP waveforms with the 5G Core.

Military trusted interworking function to integrate non-IP tactical nodes into a 5G network

A system and method for identifying packets in a that may be stuck in a loop includes logically organizing the network as a tree and modifying packets with an artifice to identify the packets intended directionality within the tree. If the actual directionality conflicts with the intended directionality, a potential loop is indicated. The artifice is a flag in the link header, link address, or IP address associated with the packet.

Multicast and broadcast storm prevention

A network device includes at least one of a baseband interface or a loopback interface, a wireless radio frequency (RF) interface, and a processing circuit. The baseband interface is coupled to a first node. The wireless RF interface is coupled to a second node. The processing circuit assigns a routable address to the at least one of the baseband interface or the loopback interface, assigns a non-routable address to the first node based on the first node being a gateway interface, assigns a routable address to the first node based on the first node not being a gateway interface, and assigns a non-routable address to the second node based on the second node being coupled to the wireless RF interface.

Systems and methods of mobile ad hoc network IP roaming

Systems, methods, and tangible computer-readable media are described for network routing of traffic. The system includes a source node for multicast traffic assignment across multiple networks. The source node chooses a first node and at least one different node for transmitting a message, the message to be transmitted from the source node to the first node, then to the at least one different node, then to a destination node.

Methods and systems for network traffic routing

A system for optimizing an ad-hoc network. The system includes a plurality of nodes, wherein each node includes a computer implemented application configured to determine whether the present node is a link node such that the present node is the only node connecting at least one pair of nodes in the ad-hoc network, determine a connection number for the present node, wherein the connection number is the number of pairs of nodes connected by the present node not including pairs of nodes connected by link nodes, and determine whether the present node should be classified as an artery node based on the link node and connection number classifications.

System and method for artery node selection in an ad-hoc network

A method for reallocating bandwidth includes assigning a node to a position message slot, running an allocation algorithm, generating a table based on the allocation algorithm, selecting a row of the table, aligning a value of the row with a node identifier; and assigning the node to a mini-slot within the position message slot based on the aligning of the value of the row and the node identifier.

Method for dynamically reallocating bandwidth to accommodate bursty traffic in a wireless network

For use with analog telecommunications equipment that responds to in-band stimuli, a system for, and method of suppressing an in-band stimulus and a telecommunications infrastructure employing the system or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a stimulus detector, associated with the analog telecommunications equipment, that detects a presence of the in-band stimulus and (2) a stimulus suppressor, coupled to the stimulus detector, that alters the in-band stimulus to cause the analog telecommunications equipment to disregard the in-band stimulus.

System and method for suppressing in-band stimuli and telecommunications infrastructure incorporating the same

A dynamically configurable system and method for transcoding streaming data and a telecommunications infrastructure incorporating the system or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) first, second and third streaming conversion modules capable of converting data stream portions between internal data formats and (2) a transcoding controller, associated with the first, second and third streaming conversion modules, that determines source and destination data formats of the data stream and arranges ones of the first, second and third streaming conversion modules in an optimal series to convert portions of the data stream from the source data format through at least one of the internal data formats to the destination data format.
