Abstract
This paper is concerned with evaluating ad-hoc networks for group-oriented tactical operations. For such operations, a cellular-based ad-hoc network architecture has been constructed for real-time multimedia communications. To assess the suitability of this network, its performance has been compared with conventional peer-to-peer ad-hoc network architectures under various test scenarios using IEEE 802.11 WLAN technology. We have shown that the cellular network, which operates in two modes: infrastructure for intracell and ad-hoc for intercell communications, is more suitable for group-based tactical missions.
