“…An airplane cabin is such an environment. Dwayne [3] said that due to the need of rapidly reconfiguring the cabin's seating, it is further assumed that wireless networking, rather than cable or fiber optics, must be used to interconnect passenger's entertainment equipment with other elements of the system.…”

A primary difficulty when investigating communication requirements in an aircraft cabin is the diverse needs of passengers when compared to the strict constraints inside the cabin. It is recognized that there is an increasing need of passengers to use their electronic devices as well as the need for entertaining during the flight. This paper aims at integrating heterogeneous available communication technologies, showing their pros and cons-within this contextwhile considering the imposed communication restrictions inside the aircraft's cabin.

“…Besides the passenger, the airline also benefits from a wireless IFE system as it allows for a rapid reconfiguration of the cabin's seating [3]. Furthermore, the disadvantage of sensitive connectors in a wired IFE system could be avoided.…”

The low terahertz band (0.1 THz -1 THz) offers very high data rates for novel mobile applications and constitutes a promising candidate to meet the requirements in aviation, enabling future wireless in-flight entertainment systems. An extensive knowledge of the propagation effects in the radio channel in complex scenarios is a prerequisite to successfully design a communication system. This paper presents a measurement campaign in a real aircraft investigating the radio channel at 300 GHz for different deployments of a wireless inflight entertainment system. The propagation effects as well as temporal and spatial channel characteristics are analyzed for likely communication links between an access point and a user equipment. In the same way, interference links between two user equipments are studied, reporting transmission and reflection losses for various components of the aircraft. A deterministic and geometry-based channel model is derived and extended to cover the effect of human blockage that suggests an integration of the access point into the passenger service unit. The measurement and realistic path loss models can be used in further link-and system level simulations and contribute to the design of future in-flight entertainment systems.

In view of the past, the mobility of the multicast source in the mobility networks is seldom discussed in the traditional multicast protocols. It is a heavy cost for the traditional multicast protocols to reconstruct the multicast tree in the Network Mobility (NEMO) environment. This article proposes an alternative multicast protocol, referred to as Mobility-Sensitive Multicast protocol (MSM), for the NEMO environment. The MSM can be considered as an alternative version of the Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol to maintain the multicast tree in the NEMO. There are two obvious contributions for the MSM. Reconstruct mechanism could rebuild the multicast tree for the mobility of the multicast source. Multi-group suppression mechanism reduce the multicast tree maintaining cost for the mobility of the multicast members. Through the performance evaluations and analyses, the MSM has less cost to maintain the multicast tree than the traditional multicast protocols, especially for a large numbers of multicast groups. Moreover, the MSM allows the mobility of the multicast source to reconstruct the multicast tree easily.
