Using Different Radio Bands to Provide More Flexibility: Using a Helio Based Protocol in a Battlefield Sensor Network with Directional Antennas and Enhanced Security

Current research works on a tiny problem and ignores other issues. When someone tries to combine these efforts, mismatches arise. Consider a combat sensor network, which uses minimal transmitter power and close node spacing. There are several drawbacks: (1) Many sensors could increase physical and electronic discovery. (2) More network congestion. (3) Fast network death. (4) Information is late and vague. (5) The human operator is at risk. This book integrates software, hardware, and security (being undetected) for supporting the network. The approach could solve problems with better security and longer life. To do this, the base station (BS) must be able to communicate with many nodes at the same time on several channels, to quickly handle large volume of information, to have unlimited power, and to have a directional antenna with active sectors. Each node would transmit straight to the BS, would be able to change frequencies, and would react to control messages. ¿All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, and third, it is accepted as self-evident.¿ -- German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
