Abstract. With dynamic topology, insufficient wireless bandwidth and variable
path quality, new IP based applications across intra-flight ad hoc networks are
always challenged by the fact that transmission services cannot always meet the
requirements of the businesses. After analyzing the current status of transmission method of mobile ad hoc networks, this paper proposes a multi-mode
transmission method based on business classification for intra-flight ad hoc
networks. And the simulation results indicate that, compared with traditional
transmission protocol, this method increases the throughput of intra-flight ad hoc
networks greatly, while meeting the requirements of various businesses, such as
the small capacity and low latency, the large capacity and low jitter, and the high
reliability.
Keywords: Intra-flight ad hoc networks Á Multi-mode transmission Á
Self-adaptive Á Cross-layer sharing
1 Introduction
Intra-flight ad hoc networks is the application of mobile network technology in the field
of aviation communication, which mainly by routing and forwarding within multiple
hops helps to support automatic connections and communications between aircraft
platforms, and then to realize distributions and exchanges of instructions, intelligence,
environment perception information, and flight status that military and civilian aviation
platforms need urgently [1]. Since the network layer of TCP/IP stack provides a
connectionless datagram service, which means the IP datagram transmission will be
lost, repetitive or out-of-order, so the transport layer of TCP/IP stack becomes extremely important. From the perspective of reliable transmission, situation information,
instruction, and target need to be obtained more timely and accurately under military
environment, to improve the target strike chain with transmission efficiency. Also at the
civil level, the real-time communication, streaming service and data sharing experience
of air users during flight should be ensured. At present, the transmission bandwidth and
reliability provided in the wireless environment are far from satisfying many concurrent
requirements of new applications and services based on IP. And furthermore, timevarying of delay and bit error rate may lead to poor application experience [2]. Based
