Integrated network for China aeronautical communications
Bing Du, Jun Zhang · 2009
In this paper, we present a practical method to integrate different aeronautical communication systems comprising of satellite-based, air-based and ground-based systems into one single global aeronautical network. This integrated network is a solution to the problem of saturated ATM/ATC communications in the coming years. The model of the integrated network is explored as the base to study all concerned behaviors that integrated network may perform. Then, the methodologies are discussed including network data compression and extraction considering time-space property, high speed information transmission with intelligent cooperative strategies. Finally, a realization of the integrated network in China civil aeronautical communications so-called ldquoGateway Clusterrdquo project is depicted to illustrate ideas of this paper, which has already been put into service all over the China and guaranteed reliable ATM/ATC security communications.
