Abstract

The Authors present a new approach to a method of dynamic spectrum management within military mobile ad hoc network. They propose that data concerning tactical radio operator’s combat readiness be used as context information for spectrum management. The readiness is determined based on monitored vital signs of and interaction with the tactical radio operator. If the operator’s inability to operate and protect the tactical radio is identified, actions are taken with the aim to release spectrum resources used by the tactical radio or in order to switch the tactical radio to modes used by search and rescue team.
