Implementation of Aeronautical Network Protocols

Abstract

The aeronautical ANTP protocol suite consisting of AeroTP, AeroRP, and AeroNP has been designed to cope with the challenges in highly-dynamic airborne networks. Via simulations, these protocols have shown significant improvement compared with other traditional protocols. In this paper, we present a prototype implementation of ANTP protocol suite using Python. The implementation is tested in a real-time environment using Linux devices equipped with GPS receiver and radio-controlled vehicles for mobility. The results of several mobility scenarios show correct implementation of protocol's functions and services.
