Abstract

An innovative architecture to support multimedia service over an avionic environment is described. The focus is on the access protocol definition towards the satellite link. In particular, two different techniques are proposed for the return link: per aircraft technique and per connection technique. The functional architecture for both the techniques is described. The merits and drawbacks of the two protocols are highlighted by means of software simulations.
