Technology over Physics?

Applications

The ‘Awful’ HF channel

• skywave + skywave• Dispersive / Absorptive

Channel

E

Channel• Time- / Frequency

variationsGroundwave

• seasonal, diurnal and short-term variations a function of frequency• Noise

• lighting, galactic, industrial noise dominate thermal noiselighting, galactic, industrial noise dominate thermal noise • Congestion

• HF radio’s been around since the beginning … if a nation or t i h h d (h ) thi th ’ h d ( till h ) HF


enterprise has had (have) anything, they’ve had (still have) HF radio.

Pressures to develop modern HF CommunicationsCommunications

• SATCOM can’t meet all ELOS/BLOS comm. requirements

bl k i hi h l tit d d i id l tit d t i i• blockage in high-latitude, and in mid-latitude mountainous regions

• cost (a decreasing factor, but still significant for some)

• competition for available capacity• competition for available capacity

• push for ‘higher’ data rates

• information explosion - new data and sources; new ways of expressing• information explosion - new data and sources; new ways of expressing

old information– in the (Wireless) Internet … a word is worth a thousand pictures

• expanded user population with requirements for data exchange– aggravated in some cases by a mis-match between application (w/ multicast

i t d i t t i t i l t ti ) d di h l ( / i h t


requirements and point-to-point implementation) and radio channel (w/ inherent

multicast capability)

Technology’s Triumph over Nature & Physics?

• Marriage of mature technologies can successfully combat dispersive channel effects:• proven channel models for dispersive / absorptive environments

AdaptiveEqualization

Filterabsorptive environments

• optimal estimation techniques applied to unknown channel characteristics

• adaptive control/equalization to minimize estimation error for known signal elementselements

• Moore’s Law and Optimized Digital Signal Processing algorithms allow practice to


keep step with theory

HF Automation as a Response to Complexity and Ignorancep y g

• HF Communications has been something of a ‘Black Art’ and …• … therefore it has become a ‘Lost Art’ known only to the persistent few ...

• Link Establishment for BLOS skywave operation is hard, and historically has relied on trained operators to manage complex operating procedures to:

– estimate the environmental conditions, select frequencies, determine/adapt the optimum data rate, wait through the inevitable channel outages till the next communications period, manage retransmissions of missed messages ...

• HF users abandoned the medium because of the the success and comparative high-reliability of SATCOM systems, reducing the number of trained operators further …

• Automation:• compensates for the lack of trained operators in HF• enables precise, rapid, and responsive control of complex processes• enables HF use by comparatively unskilled operators (or, alternatively, by


operators with different skill sets, like IT system administration)

HF: How/Where Used?

• Multiple Applications• Voice

–clear AM/FM

• Multiple Environments• Land / Air

–ad-hoc tactical nets–narrow-band secure digital

• Data–TTY - historically where errors

could be tolerated

–point-to-point–mobile/manpack

• Maritime–ad-hoc nets

could be tolerated–reliable data - w/ advent of ARQ

and robust coding • Fax

–point-to-point–disciplined single-frequency

nets• Civil

–weather / other image• Broadcast

–maritime applications some of the oldest uses of HF BLOS

–low-cost BLOS w/o SATCOM–emergency management

• Military–backup for essential servicesthe oldest uses of HF BLOS

• Variable Topologies–Point-to-Point–Point-to-Multipoint

–low-cost BLOS w/o SATCOM• Benign / Degraded Channels

–interference (deliberate or unintentional)


–ad-hoc communications–disciplined nets

)–HF is rarely benign, but you can

get lucky!

HF House: Future Additions?(caution/warning! My subjective views …)

• Wide interest in pushing to higher data rates• channel combining for STANAG 4539:

– probable adoption of MIL-STD-188-110B 6 kHz ISB modeprobable adoption of MIL-STD-188-110B 6 kHz ISB mode– channel combining for non-contiguous channels

– industry demonstrators running at:• 19.2 kb/s (2-channel), 28.8 kb/s (3-channel),

38.4 kb/s (4-channel), … 57.6 kb/s (6-channel), ( ), ( ),• rates as high as 128 kb/s (8-channel, 256 QAM) for surface wave ...

– wide interest in the maritime community • stable ground-wave modes provide non-contiguous channels with similar

performance – primary impediments are frequency-management related, not the technology

• higher data rates for STANAG 4539 TDMA mode (Annex D)– incorporation of QAM modes from non-TDMA modes (Annex C)

• higher data rates for STANAG 4538 HDL modes– incorporation of QAM modes from STANAG 4539 Annex C

• IP-over-HF support• inclusion of HF BLOS and ELOS nets in the wireless wide-area network• encapsulation standards in proposed in STANAG 5066 Annex F Ed1A1


encapsulation standards in proposed in STANAG 5066 Annex F Ed1A1• inherently supported by STANAG 4538’s interface requirements

Summary/Conclusion

• The HF House Concept:• provides an ‘iconic’ summary of the current suite of NATO standards pertaining

to HF radio communications• has served to organize and focus HF Comm requirements by:• has served to organize and focus HF Comm requirements by:

– EPM / non-EPM environments– functional area (e.g., ALE / ALM, ARQ)– legacy, emerging, and future standards

• provides a road map for development• provides a road-map for development• allows users to match their requirements to the available/planned technologies

• STANAG 4539 - ‘High-Speed’ HF circuits to 9.6 kbps• BRASS currently specified using S’4285 to 2.4 kbps

Summary

• NATO currently uses HF:• for maritime broadcast and ship-shore (ACP-127 text messaging only)HF il + ARQ (FED STD 1052+) d STANAG 4285/4539 t NAEW• HF e-mail + ARQ (FED-STD-1052+) and STANAG 4285/4539 to NAEW aircraft (selective usage)

• land forces voice co-ordination circuits, RATT• NATO Plans to use HF:

• maritime forces –for IP-over-HF operation–MMHS and informal e-mail

b d d t b li ti–web-access and data-base replication–adoption of ACP200 / inclusion in BRASS Enhancement Increments

• airforces (via requirements for SCOPE Command Interoperability)–HF e-mail + ARQ + ALE (STANAG 5066 + MIL-STD-188-141A)( )–web/database access

• land forces–IP-over-HF operation

on the move BLOS and backup links to DCMs


–on-the-move BLOS and backup links to DCMs–tactical forces (via BOWMAN and TACOMS 2000 efforts)

Summary/Conclusion

• The HF House Concept:• provides an ‘iconic’ summary of the current suite of NATO standards pertaining

to HF radio communications• has served to organize and focus HF Comm requirements by:• has served to organize and focus HF Comm requirements by:

– EPM / non-EPM environments– functional area (e.g., ALE / ALM, ARQ)– legacy, emerging, and future standards

• provides a road map for development• provides a road-map for development• allows users to match their requirements to the available/planned technologies

Growth / Renovation Issues and Challenges• Operational Requirements

• ‘must-go-faster’ ‘if you build it they will come’

• net-centric / plug & play

• automated / ease of usebecause we’re all getting wired …

and none of use can program our clocks or phones

• Civil-Market Forces

• Power Line Communications

our clocks or phones

‘ a little less noise out there !’

• Digital Radio Mondiale

• Frequency Management Challenges Well, why can’t I? THEY can!!

I’ve gotta get me some of that!(bandwidth!!)

• Technical Capabilities / Constraints

• ‘yeah, we can do that … ’ Manage expectations/reduce disruptions


• ‘but you’ll have to … {change, give up , add} reduce disruptions

BLOSCOMMS AHWG -Extracts from Decision Sheet of June 2004Extracts from Decision Sheet of June 2004

• BLOSCOMMS AHWG plans to provide a draft HF p pHandbook by 4Q2004;

• HF channel banding techniques are needed to t hi h bit t ( t 64 Kb )support higher bit rates (upto 64 Kbps);

• the AHWG/1 is prepared to include IPv6 functionality into the HF STANAGs;functionality into the HF STANAGs;

• improvements of VLF MSK Broadcast (STANAG 5030) HF Broadcast (STANAG 4481) based on the Digital Radio Mondiale project are being considered

• Future HF Policy Workshop scheduled w/ next BLOSCOMMS AHWG Meeting
