Device Aware Networks

The goal of a device-aware network is to
match the capability of the end-devices to the information delivered, thereby optimizing
the network resource usage.� In the battlefield, all
resources � including time, network bandwidth and battery capacity � are very
limited.� A device-aware network avoids the waste that
happens in current, device-ignorant networks. By eliminating unusable traffic, a
device-aware network reduces the time the end-devices spend receiving
extraneous information, and thus saves time and conserves battery-life.
A device-aware network can satisfy some of
the basic requirements of the Battlespace Communication Network.� A key difference between a Battlespace
Communication Network and the Internet is the capability of the end
systems.� In the Internet, most end systems are PCs
with relatively high computational power, while in the battlefield, end systems
are small devices suitable for mobile operation and have much limited resources
in terms of processing capability, bandwidth and battery power.�� Therefore, devices used in the battlefield
cannot be expected to perform as sophisticated processing as done by end
systems in the Internet.
