International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 20-23, 2003 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / In our prior work [1] we proposed that network-centric data telemetry systems offer
substantial improvements over traditional serial data telemetry systems. This paper is a
follow up to that work and is also a companion to our experimentation paper [2]. In
network-centric telemetry systems, there can be many infrastructure sites that form the
network’s ad hoc communications paths, and there can be many fast-moving nodes, e.g.,
munitions, which enter the network, generate telemetry data, and exit the network. As
the geographic size of such data telemetry networks grows, constraints on link margin
will typically preclude a one-to-one matching of ground-based infrastructure sites to
airborne, fast-moving nodes. That is, the fast-moving nodes will traverse distances that
will require the mobile node to change which specific ground node it communicates with
to transfer telemetry data. This paper describes an analytic model for the generic process
of a fast moving node entering a wireless network and the associated handoffs of that
node among ground stations as the fast mover traverses the spatial region covered by the
wireless network. Our analysis and associated worst-case example demonstrate that
wireless networking technology can handle the stress of rapidly managing connectivity to
high-speed nodes for effective telemetry data extraction.
