A Multi Bearer Adaptable Communication Demonstrator for Train-to-Ground IP Communication to Increase Resilience

Abstract

Abstract. This paper presents the setup of a demonstrator based on Multipath TCP protocol to provide a multi bearer-WiFi and WiMAXand resilient agnostic layer to support train-to-ground IP communication. The adaptable communication and resilient architecture consists of three main blocks: an Acquisition System, a Detection System and a Multipath Communication System. Several tests carried out with jamming devices disturbing the data transfer established between the end devices demonstrate the resilient capability and performance of the proposed architecture to overcome electromagnetic attacks.
