Real-Time and Store-and-Forward Delivery of Unmanned Airborne Vehicle Sensor Data
How Do You Select and Implement the Routing Path? • Low Rate VHF • Reliable • Low Latency Destination Network (for Entertainment) • High Speed SatCom Network • Globally Available • Affected by Weather • Higher Bandwidth • High Latency • High Cost • Low Speed SatCom Network • Globally Available • Low Bandwidth • High Latency • Very High Cost • Redundant Entertainment Mobile Network Command and Control Operations • High Speed Terrestrial • Not Available when Mobile • High Bandwidth • Low latency • Lower Cost • High Speed LOS Network • Globally Available • High Bandwidth • Low Latency • Lower Security • Moderate Cost Internet Destination Network (for Operations) Destination Network (for Command & Control) How do you decide which path the data should take? How do you cause the network(s) to route the data via this path?
Network Partitioning by ServiceArchitecture Example NSPs/Airlines/Framers/Suppliers/etc • QoS & Security Service Levels for: • Network Control • Voice over IP • High Priority • Special Projects • General Purpose Security Perimeter Security Mgt PIES Networks are logically partitioned. Many logical networks share a common physical infrastructure. QoS can be managed by both network & flow Net-Mgt & Routing VOIP Network Infra. AOC ATC PIES Data Center
Antenna Systems • We need to share radio systems. • We cannot have separate radios for each service. • Note, this picture does not show: • Satellite links • Passenger service links • Gate links (WiFi) • Gate links (umbilical cord)
