Performance Analysis of mmWave on Military Scenario using Tactical Network Modeller

Abstract

The utilization of millimeter wave (mmWave) for Military tactical communications remains a challenge. With its high data rate capacity characteristics, mmWave allows big data capacity communication to be forwarded. This is a challenge and an opportunity for military communication to harness the potential of this wave. This paper proposes a simulation in mmWave harness based on Military tactical communication. The net topology used was a tactical network modeler adapting a hierarchical Military organization. The simulation was built using network simulator 3 with C++ programming language. The parameters tested included end-to-end delay, jitter, and throughput. The best results showed that throughput 392.533 Kbps and 190.217 Kbps, end-to-end delay 4.500 ns and 24.500 ns, then jitter 1.212 ns and 13.125 ns, mmWave compare with LTE respectively on a military scenario using tactical network modeler. In addition, there will be challenges for further study.
