Aircraft Ad-hoc Network (AANET)

Abstract: Aircraft ad hoc networks are defined as self organizing networks where airplane works as node. Ad-hoc network is dynamic network which can be created anywhere with just two basic nodes and does not require any centralize infrastructure. Each node has a certain range of communication in which it can transmit or receive data. We are proposing AANET (Aircraft Ad-hoc Network). In these networks, aircraft is envisioned to participate as a self- aware node and communicates with ground infrastructure and other aircrafts. Thus, these networks show different features with typical ad hoc networks in that information becomes available through in-aircraft, aircraft-to-ground and aircraft-to-aircraft, aircraft-to-ship communications also sent the signal of army radar and a GPS is used for navigation. With help of these networks, traffic between aircrafts can be distributed and is regarded to have improved

increases. The enhancements in information delivery and availability from in-aircraft, aircraft-to-ground and aircraft-to- ship, aircraft-to-aircraft communications in the AANET can improve areas such as flight safety, schedule predictability, maintenance and operational efficiencies, passenger amenities.
