Abstract
A method conveys information over a network to client processors, each with a maximum analysis rate. Sensed signals include target track updates generated at an aggregate track update rate depending on the number of targets and sensors. The track updates are prioritized. The prioritized updates are analyzed, for each client, in view a channel-priority representing the time rate of updates previously sent to the client. The selected higher-priority updates are destined for the client at an average rate no greater than the maximum analysis rate of the client. The lower-priority track updates not destined for the client are deleted. The selected updates are transmitted to their client processors.
