RESEARCH IN MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE: CALCULATION OF THE PROBABILITY OF UNDETECTED ERROR FOR CERTAIN ERROR DETECTION CODES
Amount: $157,761
BINARY CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK CODES, KNOWN AS CRC CODES, ARE UTILIZED AS MESSAGE ERROR DETECTION CODES IN APPLICATIONS REQUIRING VERY HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT A MESSAGE IS RECEIVED ERROR FREE. OFTEN, IT IS ASSUMED THAT THE PROBABILITY OF UNDETECTED ERROR FOR THESE CODES IS UPPER BOUNDED BY 2(-R), WHERE R IS THE NUMBER OF REDUNDANT (PARITY) BITS. THIS UPPER BOUND IS NOT CORRECT FOR MANY CODES, HOWEVER, ESPECIALLY SHORTENED CYCLIC CODES. WE HAVE FOUND A NEW METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN EXACT EVALUATION OF THE PROBABILITY OF UNDETECTED ERROR FOR THE MOST COMMONLY UTILIZED CODES. WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE HOW THIS METHOD CAN BE UTILIZED TO PRODUCE THE VERY BEST MESSAGE ERROR DETECTION CODES.

HIGH DATA RATE SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS
Amount: $250,000
QUALCOMM, INC. PROPOSES TO STUDY THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DIGITAL UHF SATCOM MODEM CAPABLE OF TRANSMITTING THREE TIMES THE INFORMATION RATE IN A GIVEN CHANNEL BANDWIDTH CURRENTLY TRANSMITTED BY CONVENTIONAL MEANS. OVER FLTSAR 25 KHZ CHANNELS TYPICAL CURRENT INFORMATION RATES ARE NOT GREATER THAN 16 KB/S, WHILE THE PROPOSED SYSTEM WOULD TRANSMIT OVER THE SAME BANDWIDTH AT UP TO 48 KB/S, WITH NO GREATER INCREASE IN TRANSMITTED POWER (OR LINK BUDGET) THAN THAT REQUIRED FOR THE THREE-FOLD INCREASE IN DATA RATE. THE TECHNIQUE TO BE USED IS TRELLIS CODING WITH 8PSK AND 16PSK MODULATION. A UNIQUE CODING TECHNIQUE WHICH REQUIRES ONLY MODIFICATION OF EXISTING CONVOLUTIONAL CODERS-VITERBI DECODERS ACHIEVES THIS INCREASED EFFICIENCY.

NETWORK PROTOCOLS SUPPORTING ANTI-AIR WARFARE
Amount: $49,606
THE BASIS FOR A STRONG SYSTEMS ENGINEERING EFFORT MUST LIE IN A THROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF THE TECHNICAL ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE. IN THE ANTI-AIR WARFARE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK AREA THESE ALTERNATIVES MUST BE DEVELOPED FROM A COMPREHENSIVE THEORETICAL BASE AND TAILORED TO THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF THE ENVIRONMENT. THE PHASE I ACTIVITY WILL ESTABLISH A SET OF ARCHITECTURAL CANDIDATES FOR COMMUNICATION NETWORKS TO SUPPORT ANTI-AIR WARFARE SYSTEMS AS THEY EVOLVE IN REACTION TO NEW SYSTEMS, THREATS, AND TACTICAL SITUATIONS. THE CANDIDATES WILL REPRESENT THE APPLICATION OF CURRENT NETWORKING TECHNOLOGIES TO THE BATTLE GROUP WIDE COMMUNICATION PROBLEM AND WILL EMPHASIZE THE INTEGRATION PROBLEMS OF MULTIPLE PLATFORMS AND AN EVOLVING ASSET BASE.

NETWORK PROTOCOLS FOR UHF MULTIUSER TRAFFIC
Amount: $49,606
QUALCOMM, INC. PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A NETWORK PROTOCOL FOR THE NAVY UHF SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM WHICH WILL SUPPORT THE WIDE VARIETY OF CURRENT AND ANTICIPATED NAVAL UHF SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS NEEDS AND WILL BE DESIGNED SO THAT FUTURE, CURRENTLY UNANTICIPATED, NEEDS CAN BE MET. THE TRAFFIC ROUTING WILL BE ABLE TO BE EITHER POINT-TO-POINT, MULTICASE, OR BROADCAST; THE TRAFFIC FORMAT CAN BE IN EITHER A STREAM OR A BLOCK FORMAT. THE PROTOCOL WILL SUPPORT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND FLOW CONTROL. THE NETWORK RESOURCES WILL BE POOLED AND CONTROLLED BY VARIOUS LEADER TERMINALS WHICH FORM THE NODES OF A HIERARCHICAL TREE. EACH LEADER TERMINAL WILL HAVE SOME RESOURCES THAT IT CAN DIRECTLY ALLOCATE AND, THROUGH COOPERATION WITH OTHER LEADERS, ADJUST RESOURCE ALLOCATION THROUGHOUT THE NETWORK. THE RESOURCE ALLOCATION PROCESS WILL BE DESIGNED TO BE DYNAMIC AND WILL ALLOCATE RESOURCES ON A MESSAGE BY MESSAGE BASIS. SINCE LEADERS PARTIALLY CENTRALIZE THE DATABASE AND SINCE MANY TERMINALS IN THE NETWORK CAN BECOME LEADERS, THIS PROTOCOL WILL NOT HAVE THE DATABASE CONSISTENCY PROBLEMS OF A DISTRIBUTED PROTOCOL, NOR WILL IT HAVE THE SINGLE POINT VUNERABILITY OF A CENTRALIZED PROTOCOL.

A MULTIPLE-PATH ROUTING ALGORITHM FOR FAULT TOLERANT NETWORK SYSTEMS
Amount: $49,968
WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE FAULT-TOLERANT NETWORK ARCHITECTURES WHICH SUPPORT MULTIPLE-PATH ROUTES. A NEW ALGORITHM HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO DETERMINE EFFICIENT MULTIPLE-PATH ROUTING STRATEGIES. ADDITIONALLY, WE PLAN TO INTRODUCE AUTOMATIC PATH RE-ROUTING BY INTRODUCING ERROR-CORRECTING CODING REDUNDANCIES INVOLVING A CODE STRUCTURE ON ALL TRANSMITTED DATA. WE PLAN TO STUDY THE COMBINED BENEFITS OF THESE TECHNIQUES.

COMBINED DATA LINK/POSITION LOCATION SUBSYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATED TACTICAL AIRCRAFT LAUNCH AND RECOVERY SYSTEMS (ATALARS)
Amount: $49,642
QUALCOMM, INC. PROPOSES TO INVESTIGATE THE USE OF A DATA LINK INTEGRATED WITH A GPS POSITION LOCATION SYSTEM, BEING DEVELOPED FOR A TEST AND TRAINING RANGE APPLICATION, IN THE ATALARS APPLICATION. SHOWN THROUGH THIS EFFORT WILL BE ATALARS' ABILITY TO PROVIDE GPS DERVIED POSITION REPORTS FROM A LARGE NUMBER OF AIRCRAFT OPERATING IN A TACTICAL ENVIRONMENT TO A CENTRAL ATC CONTROL POINT. THE DATA LINK ALSO PROVIDES MEANS FOR TRANSMITTING ATC INSTRUCTIONS TO AIRCRAFT. THE PROPOSED PROGRAM WILL MODIFY DATA LINK AND GPS SUBSYSTEMS NOW BEING DEVELOPED FOR AIRBORNE USE OF AF TEST RANGES TO MEET ATALARS' NEED FOR WIDE BAND FREQUENCY HOPPING ANTI-JAM PROTECTION; MEASURE THE COMBINED ANTI-JAM AND EXPECTED PERFORMANCE; AND PREPARE A DRAFT TYPE A SPECIFICATION FOR USE IN A FIELD TEST THAT COULD BE PERFORMED IN A FOLLOW-ON SBIR PHASE II EFFORT.

COMBINED MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD DECODING FOR CODED PARTIAL RESPONSE CHANNELS
Amount: $226,000
THE AIM OF THIS RESEARCH IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DECODER WHICH MITIGATES THE EFFECTS OF BOTH INTERSYMBOL INTERFERENCEAND NOISE. IN PARTICULAR, THE RESEARCHERS CONSIDER A PARTICULAR RATE 1/2, 64 STATE, CONVOLUTIONAL ENCODER, A DECODER, AND A CLASS IV PARTIAL RESPONSE CHANNEL WITH ADDITIVE NOISE. THEY SHOW THAT THE DECODER MATCHED BOTH TO THE CODE AND TO THE CHANNEL ALSO HAS 64 STATES. IN PHASE I OF THIS RESEARCH ANSWERS TO SOME FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS DECODER ARE SOUGHT PHASE II WILL BE CONCERNED WITH ITS ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION IN VLSI.

PORTABLE/MOBILE X-BAND SATCOM TERMINAL FEASIBILITY STUDY
Amount: $366,000
THE PORTABLE/MOBILE X-BAND SATCOM TERMINAL FEASIBILITY STUDY, ADDRESSES A PERCEIVED REQUIREMENT FOR AN X-BAND SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS TERMINAL THAT WOULD ALLOW PORTABLE/MOBILE OPERATION AT DATA RATES UP TO 9600 BPS WITH A TERMINAL OF VERY SMALL SIZE. THE ELECTRONICS WOULD BE SMALL ENOUGH TO BE CARRIED ONTO AN AIRLINER, WHILE THE ANTENNA WOULD BE THE SIZE OF A TENNIS BALL FOR MOBILE OPERATION, AND A 12 INCH DIAMETER PARABOLIC DISH ANTENNA FOR PORTABLE OPERATION. THE MOBILE MODE OF OPERATION WOULD INCLUDE A PAGING FEATURE THAT WOULD INFORM THE OPERATOR THAT A HIGH DATA RATE (9600 BPS) LINK IS DESIRED SO THAT THE OPERATOR CAN STOP, SETUP AND POINT THE DISH ANTENNA TO SUPPORT THE HIGHER DATA RATE. SUCH A TERMINAL WOULD APPEAR TO HAVE MANY POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS IN BOTH COMMERCIAL AND GOVERNMENT SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS.
