  • Publication number: 20210211964
    Abstract: A multi-node communication network may include a plurality of nodes, which may include normal value nodes, a clusterhead node, and a high value node. Each of the plurality of nodes may include a communication interface and a controller. The high value node may be defined as high value relative to the normal value nodes during mission data fill. The high value node may be configured to locate the clusterhead node, register the high value node's membership to the clusterhead node, and send position-location information (PLI) to the clusterhead node during registration. Upon receipt of a PLI request, each of the normal value nodes may be configured to send current PLI to the clusterhead node. Upon receipt of the PLI request, the high value node may remain silent.
