Elements of the Studies (Cont’d)

? Wireless industry developments? Related industry programs and standards ? Operational analysis of future use of IP based services

– Context: Requirements as projected in Free Flight DAG-TM (Distributed Air Ground – Traffic Management)

– Analysis of a number of aviation processes and events– Identification of the use for IP based services in future

Technical Conclusions

? Air-Ground Architecture: ATN and TCP/IP are functionally equivalent.

? Ground-Ground Architecture: ATN uses a more complex, full protocol stack; TCP/IP uses the same protocol stack as the Air-Ground architecture.

? Mobility Support: ATN provides limited mobility support, whereas TCP/IP provides full mobility support including mobility within mobility.

? Security: ATN presently uses Security Labels, which have limited capability; future security will be based on public key infrastructure (PKI). TCP/IP is IPSec-based, which provides more capability; PKI available now.

Technical Conclusions (cont’d)

? Quality of Service: ATN provides limited service; TCP/IP provides flows, RSVP, DiffServ, and real-time protocols.

? Multicasting: ATN does not support; TCP/IP does support.

? Network Layer (Packet) Header: ATN requires more processing; TCP/IP uses streamlined header enabling more efficient processing.

? Network Management: ATN features CMIS/CMIP, which are more complex and limited in implementation. TCP/IP uses SNMP, which is simple, widely tested and available

? Multiple Specific Processes Can be Enhanced

? Diversions - Common Scenario that Touches Many Processes

? Studied three views:– Ideal Current Process– Actual Current Process– Future IP-Enabled Process

Future IP-Enabled Diversion Process

? Brings together a network rich in opportunities for integration– Airline– ATM System– Airplane

? ATM - Airline Collaboration? Airline - Airline Collaboration? ATM final tweaking

– Defines and transmits Plan– Aircraft receives notification of plan

Future IP-Enabled Diversion Process -- 2

? Aircraft (not just pilot) notification -- expect to:– Be cleared directly in with little or no delay– Be cleared to hold, but expect to get in– Divert immediately to a given alternate

? Customer issues being worked– Passengers headed there for final destination– Re-booking– Alternate transportation– Hotels, etc.

? Planned recovery– Aircraft support systems– Crew scheduling

Objectives - NASA/Eurocontrol Cooperation

? Leverage mutual IPv6 activities for aviation– NASA GRC’s R & D in Aeronautical Telecommunications

Network (ATN) over IP and work in Mobile IP– Eurocontrol’s Internet Protocol for Aviation Exchange (iPAX)

Project? Foster IPv6 research and development activities to support

International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standardizationactivities

? Understand transition issues and technical approach for addressing and interoperability between ISO and IP networks

? Demonstrate ATN related services over IPv6: e.g., Controller to Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC)

? Publish technical papers in international proceedings defining the use of IPv6 in aviation

Page 29: Computer Networks & Software Inc

Accelerating CNS

Computer Networks & Software, Inc 29

Why IPv6 ?

? High Scalability– 128-bit addresses allows 3.4 x 10 ^ 38 addresses

? Improved support for QoS, mobility? Built in IP Security? Fixed Length Header? Internet Protocol for the future

– In US, DoD plans to move to an all IPv6 network by 2008– In Europe, iPAX has investigated the ways to move from

X.25 networks to IPv6 based networks

IPv6 Quality of Service (QoS)

Two main QoS mechanisms– IntServ

» Makes use of the Flow Label field» QoS per connection» Poor Scalability

– DiffServ» Makes use of the Traffic Class field» QoS by packet type/tag» Excellent Scaling properties

4-BitVersion

8-BitTraffic Class

20-Bit Flow Label

Page 35: Computer Networks & Software Inc

Accelerating CNS

Computer Networks & Software, Inc 35

IPv6 DiffServ

? Classifies packets into behavior aggregates? First six bits of the Traffic Class field, know as DiffServ

Code Point (DSCP), map to a unique Per Hop Behavior (PHB).

? Following PHB’s have been standardized by IETF– Expedite Forwarding (EF)

» Low loss, Low delay, Low jitter, Assured bandwidth» Appears as a virtual leased line.

– Assured Forwarding (AF)» Traffic with the subscribed rate is served with high level of assurance» Four AF classes are defined (AF1, AF2, AF3 and AF4)» Each class supports three drop precedence ( AFx1, AFx2,AFx3, AFx4)

– Best Effort (BE)» Does not guarantee any bandwidth

Page 36: Computer Networks & Software Inc

Accelerating CNS

Computer Networks & Software, Inc 36

QoS for Aviation

? Air Traffic Services require different QoS features– Bandwidth– End-to-end delay

? Proper resources distribution is required? We implement a framework for providing QoS for

three different aviation applications– CPDLC– Surveillance– User Data

SATS: Airborne Internet

Airborne Internet? Provide a comm architecture that delivers aviation

information services in an Internet-like manner where aircraft and ground facilities will be interconnected nodes on a high-speed digital commnetwork.

? 2022 AI Fundamental Characteristics:– Aviation Information System– Integrated CNS - Worldwide compatibility– Seamless connectivity– High user and system capacity

Small Aircraft Transportation SystemSATS develops and integrates emerging vehicle and infrastructure technologies, and, enables access to the vastly under-utilized infrastructure of smaller non-hub airports and airspace. More efficient access to congested hubs will create unimagined transportation speed for more people to reach more destinations.
