Over the next few years, future aeronautical communications are expected to move from the OSI protocol stack to the TCP/IP one. Multiple data-link channels (e.g., satellite, terrestrial) will be available to each aircraft to communicate with ground, realizing the so-called multilink. In order to ensure a seamless handover between different data-links, the LISP protocol has been defined. This paper describes the modelling, design and implementation of LISP on the SAPIENT simulator, an OMNeT++-based simulator for aeronautical communications. It includes models of the aircrafts, including their mobility, multiple data links and ground-network elements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
