Abstract:

The emergence of software-defined networking (SDN) provides a new idea to break through the performance bottleneck of the airborne network in the context of aviation swarm warfare. In order to solve the problem of network update in the airborne network of the aviation swarm, a reliability enhanced two-phase commit network update strategy, which is suitable for the airborne network of aviation swarm under a software-defined architecture, is proposed. Firstly, the highest reliability algorithm and the multi-path algorithm are designed to search the highly reliable path of the instruction message. Then, ACK (acknowledge) message-based confirmation mechanism and ACK message efficient fusion transport mechanism are introduced to further improve the reliability, correctness and real-time performance of the network update process. The simulation results show that, compared with the existing traditional network updating strategies, the proposed update strategy effectively improves the reliability of network update, and at the same time, the duration as well as the cost of network update is lower.

Key words: aviation swarm, airborne network, software-defined networking (SDN), network update, reliability
