Abstract: In the battlefield environment, it is dicult to obtain information of non-partners and infer network parameters such as topology and key nodes, which further a ects the decision-making of battlefield. This paper presents a topology sensing framework in adversarial scenario, analyzes the research status of topology sensing technology and summarizes the challenges faced by this technology. Then, three common topology sensing methods are introduced: Granger causality, Hawkes process and transfer entropy. Further, a reasonable design of topology sensing system is given. Finally, the development trend of topology sensing is discussed.
