“…They also estimated the expected throughput of different links [133]. Furthermore, fieldprogrammable gate array-based modems were designed, and the performance of the links was investigated by Degardin et al in [134], who showed that the BER does not exceed 2 × 10 −4 at a bit rate below 91 Mbps. • Optical Wireless Networks: Optical wireless networking offers the potential of exploiting a relatively untapped region of the electromagnetic spectrum for communication, by exploiting Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for information transmission [135].…”

The engineering vision of relying on the "smart sky" for supporting air traffic and the "Internet above the clouds" for in-flight entertainment has become imperative for the future aircraft industry. Aeronautical ad hoc Networking (AANET) constitutes a compelling concept for providing broadband communications above clouds by extending the coverage of Air-to-Ground (A2G) networks to oceanic and remote airspace via autonomous and self-configured wireless networking amongst commercial passenger airplanes. The AANET concept may be viewed as a new member of the family of Mobile ad hoc Networks (MANETs) in action above the clouds. However, AANETs have more dynamic topologies, larger and more variable geographical network size, stricter security requirements and more hostile transmission conditions. These specific characteristics lead to more grave challenges in aircraft mobility modeling, aeronautical channel modeling and interference mitigation as well as in network scheduling and routing. This paper provides an overview of AANET solutions by characterizing the associated scenarios, requirements and challenges. Explicitly, the research addressing the key techniques of AANETs, such as their mobility models, network scheduling and routing, security and interference are reviewed. Furthermore, we also identify the remaining challenges associated with developing AANETs and present their prospective solutions as well as open issues. The design framework of AANETs and the key technical issues are investigated along with some recent research results. Furthermore, a range of performance metrics optimized in designing AANETs and a number of representative multi-objective optimization algorithms are outlined.

“…It is worth mentioning that, for the CLS configuration and using the PHY layer described in [31], the predicted throughput for a target BER of 10 -3 reaches, for the worst link, 78 Mbits/s, this value being experimentally confirmed. The next step for assessing PLC in A/C and S/C is to take into account operational/safety aspects and compliance with real time constraints, as latency.…”

This paper provides an overview of the recent advances in the characterization and modeling of power line communication channels in transportation systems. The salient aspects of the topological and functional features of the data channels using power networks of vehicles, spacecrafts and aircrafts are presented. The contribution has a tutorial nature and guides the reader through a selection of recent papers collecting relevant results needed to assess the feasibility and strengths of power line communication for this class of applications.

Nonlinear Visible Light Communications Broadcast Channel Precoding: A New Solution for In-flight Systems

et al. 2018

In this paper, we consider a multiuser multiple-input-single-output (MU-MISO) downlink visible light communication (VLC) system deployed in airplane cabins, for serving high-speed Internet to the passengers through the reading lamps. The high number of closely spaced lamps (i.e., transmitters) suggests the use of a transmit precoding scheme to suppress the strong mutual light interference and enhance the performance of the system. Constraints are the complexity of the hardware and the integration into commercial devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.). Since nominal lighting is constrained by LEDs saturation, here we adapt the Tomlinson-Harashima precoding algorithm to the on-board VLC scenario and demonstrate its definite improvement on channel capacity with respect to the unprecoded case and also to the zero-forcing precoding one. The optimum directivity of the sources trades over performance and robustness against source-receiver misalignments (i.e., the passengers' mobility) by validating MISO channels for a number of receivers' positions around the best alignment one with a ray tracer specifically designed.
