Modeling and analysis of military communication networks based on complex networks

In recognition of the intricate structure and multifaceted nature of military communication networks, two typical models of such networks are established, respectively, from the viewpoints of interdependent and multilayer networks. With a particular emphasis on interdependent networks, an analysis is conducted on the importance of nodes and the robustness of military communication networks through node importance analysis and cascading failure assessments. To validate the models, a modeling and simulation is performed based on the communication network organization plan outlined in a military wargame scenario. The results obtained encompass the ranking of node importance and the impact of various factors, such as attack methods, node capacity, and load distribution, on the cascading failure process within military communication networks. These findings offer valuable insights for the analysis of connectivity and robustness in military communication networks.
