UNCLASSIFIED TDMA - Time Division Multiple Access - JTIDS/MIDS uses TDMA protocol - TDMA allows multiple users access to time slices or time slots 1 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Taking Turns ‒ In TDMA - units take turns according to time ‒ Each unit transmits when programmed ‒ Burst transmissions of either 258 or 444 pulses 2 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Turn Distribution 1536 time slots 12 seconds ‒ Transmit capacity varies from unit to unit ‒ C2 units need more ‒ Radar units need more ‒ More turns means more capacity 3 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Epoch 12.8 minutes 98304 time slots • An epoch is the largest time unit • An epoch is 12.8 minutes • There are 98304 time slots in an epoch 4 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Frames 12 seconds 1536 time slots • Times slots are grouped into basic units called frames • There are 64 frames in each epoch – All frames are normally identical – Each A0 is different • Frames have 1536 time slots and are 12 seconds in duration 5 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Time Slots 12 seconds 1536 time slots A-0 B-0 C-0 • The 1536 time slots sub-divided into 3 sets (A, B and C) • Time slots are numbered 0-511 in each set 6 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Time Slot Components 1536 time slots 12 seconds J S/H • Time Slot components are comprised of: – Jitter – Sync – Header – Data – Propagation D P 7 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Legacy Transmission Formats Standard Double Pulse (SDP) 3 Words, Double Pulse, 258 Pulses Pack 2 Single Pulse (P2SP) 6 Words, Single Pulse, 258 Pulses Pack 2 Double Pulse(P2DP) J SH J SH SH 6 Words, Double Pulse, 444 Pulses D d P d D D P P Pack 4 Single Pulse(P4SP) SH 12 Words, Single Pulse, 444 Pulses d d d d P Extended Range j (STDP and P2SP only) 8 UNCLASSIFIED SH d d P UNCLASSIFIED Track Generation 1001 1002 1003 J3.2-1003 J3.2-1002 J3.2-1001 • The host system produces track reports (J3.2 = air track) which are sent to the JTIDS/MIDS terminal • Tracks are buffered until the time of transmission 9 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Track Transmission • Tracks are transmitted in the next timeslot assigned to NPG 7 • Each track is extrapolated to the time of transmission J3.2-1003 J3.2-1003 J3.2-1002 J3.2-1002 J3.2-1001 J3.2-1003 10 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Packing • Packing is based upon – The number of tracks in the buffer J3.2-1003 J3.2-1002 J3.2-1001 – The number of timeslots in the next 32 for NPG 7 32 11 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Transmission Formats   The minimum number of words transmitted is 3 Packing only occurs with demand 6 { Pack 2 Single Pulse TDL J Words 3 J3.2-1003 J3.2-1002 J3.2-1001 { 12 Standard Double Pulse D { 12 UNCLASSIFIED d d Pack 2 Double Pulse D D Pack 4 Single Pulse d d d d UNCLASSIFIED Packing 3.2I, 3.2 E0, 3.2C1 J3.2-1003 J3.2-1002 J3.2-1001 Air Track updates have 2 TDL J words 3.2I, 3.2 E0 31.7 I Initial Air Track reports have 3 TDL J words No statement words have 1 TDL J word 13 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Pack 2 Possibilities Pack 2 Single d dPulse { 6 J3.2-1003 J3.2-1002 J3.2-1001 Pack 2 Double Pulse D D 3 3 2 2 2 Initials Reports 3 2 1 1 3 2 2 14 UNCLASSIFIED 1 Initial – 1 Update 3 Update Reports UNCLASSIFIED Average Throughput 7 9 Track reports in 4 timeslots. 1 2 3 4 9/4 = 2.25 trks/ts 5 6 Normally there are more updates 8 9 Average > 2.5 air trks/ts Too many combinations for P4. Use 4.0; most of today's Link 16 networks are designed using 4 tracks per P4SP time slot. 15 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Advanced Transmission Formats Link 16 Enhanced Throughput – Key Points • With the ever-increasing fielding of L16 systems the worldwide networks have become overloaded and unable to support all IERs (Oversubscription) • A new waveform called Link 16 Enhanced Throughput or simply (LET) will allow a higher data-rate of up to 1 Mbps 16 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Advanced Transmission Formats Link 16 Enhanced Throughput (LET) provides increased throughput with no change to the spectral characteristics of Link 16 • Adds 5 variable data rates up to 10 times the highest current throughput mode of Link 16 (Packed-4 Single Pulse (P4SP)) • Recent tests data shows less impact to range and anti-jam performance loss vs. original data - LET 0 thru 1 most suitable • Limitations: – Implementation required by all participants for interoperability – Message structure in time slots reduces range and anti-jam performance from current messages to gain higher data rate 17 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Advanced Transmission Formats Message Structure Data Words Bits Tracks Highest Current Mode 12 Data Words 900 bits of data 4 Tracks LET Mode 0 40 Data Words 2944 bits of data 13 Tracks LET Mode 1 61 Data Words 4416 bits of data 20 Tracks LET Mode 2 93 Data Words 6752 bits of data 31 Tracks LET Mode 3 108 Data Words 7800 bits of data 36 Tracks LET Mode 4 123 Data Words 8800 bits of data 41 Tracks 18 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED JTIDS Wave Format • JTIDS is a pulsed RF system – Each transmission consists of a stream of pulses • The TDMA protocol determines who transmits – Multiple participants are assigned timeslots for transmission – Units receive when not transmitting 19 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED TDMA • Transmitters take turns – 1536 assigned time slots (Repeating every 12 seconds) – Preprogrammed by the network load 20 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED TDMA Summary 12 seconds The FRAME is the basic reoccurring unit of time. 7.8125 msec The Timeslot is the basic unit of access.
