On improving connectivity and network efficiency in a heterogeneous military environment

In this article, we examine some major challenges to be solved in order to provide efficient end-to-end connectivity, resource management and QoS in a tactical military heterogeneous network (including the mobile edge). We briefly describe a selected set of possible solutions and mechanisms to improve inter-domain and intra-domain networking for the tactical heterogeneous network that will be further studied in the NATO STO IST-124/RTG-061 group ""Heterogeneous tactical networks - improving connectivity and network efficiency"".
