Abstract

This paper describes a framework of an inter-satellite system handover algorithm integrating IETF´s mobile IP and RSVP protocols for aeronautical passenger communications. The baseline communication network architecture provides personal communications and Internet access for aircraft passengers. A functional model for mobility and QoS management to ensure seamless handover is described, where a possible method to enhanced the performance of RSVP over satellite link is presented. This model has been simulated using OPNET and some initial results from the simulation of the signalling performance of the integrated HO algorithm for real-time and non real-time applications are discussed
