Constructions of Control Sequence Set for Hierarchical Access in Data Link Network

Abstract

Time slots are a valuable channel resource in the data link network with time division multiple access architecture. The need for finding a secure and efficient way to meet the requirements of large access capacity, differentiated access, maximum utilization of time slot resource and strong anti-eavesdropping ability in data link networks is well motivated.In this paper, a control sequence-based hierarchical access control scheme is proposed, which not only achieves differentiated time slots allocation for the different needs and levels of nodes, but also enhances randomness and anti-interception performance in data link networks.Based on the scheme, a new theoretical bound is derived to characterize parameter relationships for designing optimal hierarchical control sequence(HCS) set. Moreover, two flexible classes of optimal hierarchical control sequence sets are constructed.By our construction, the terminal user in the data link can access hierarchically and randomly and transmit data packets during its own hopping time slots of the successive frames to prevent eavesdropping while maintaining high throughput.
