In the near future, broadband air-ground (A/G) communications will be used by civil aviation aircraft flying over crowded continental areas such as Europe and North America to access a variety of services, ranging from safety- of-life infotainment applications. This paper investigates feasibility extending this coverage via air-air (A/A) multihop oceanic, remote polar regions, where no infrastructure is available, so that these can ground services without having use an expensive high-delay...
The Airborne Internet is a vision of large-scale multihop wireless mesh network consisting commercial passenger aircraft connected via long-range highly directional air-to-air radio links. We propose geographic load sharing strategy to fully exploit the total air-to-ground capacity available at any given time. When forwarding packets for destination, node considers not one but set next-hop candidates and spreads traffic among them based on queue dynamics. In addition, balancing performed...
Abstract. Volcanic eruptions comprise an important airborne hazard for aviation. Although significant events are rare, e.g. compared to the threat of thunderstorms, they have a very high impact. The current state tools and abilities mitigate aviation hazards associated with assumed volcanic cloud was tested within international demonstration exercise.

The purpose of the EUNADICS-AV (European Natural Airborne Disaster Information and Coordination System for Aviation) prototype early warning system (EWS) is to develop combined use harmonised data products from satellite, ground-based in situ instruments produce alerts airborne hazards (volcanic, dust, smoke radionuclide clouds), satisfying requirement aviation air traffic management (ATM) stakeholders (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/723986, last access: 5 November 2021)....
Abstract. High-quality volcanic ash forecasts are crucial to minimize the economic impact of hazards on air traffic. Decision-making is usually based numerical dispersion modelling with only one model realization. Given inherent uncertainty such an approach, a multi-model multi-source term ensemble has been designed and evaluated for Eyjafjallajökull eruption in May 2010. Its use flight planning discussed. Two ensembles were built: first output four models their own implementation ejection....
The Broadband Aeronautical Multi-carrier Communications (B-AMC) system is a candidate for future aeronautical communications to be operated in the L-Band (960-1164 MHz). It based on Broadband-VHF (B-VHF) recently developed VHF band. As conditions significantly differ from those band, basic physical layer parameters had adapted, which turn required re-design of higher layers as well. B-AMC offers air/ground (A/G) well direct air/air (A/A) communication capabilities without ground relay. has...

Aeronautical ad hoc networks represent a special type of wireless networks, given their significantly larger scale and the distinct characteristics mobile nodes. Aircraft populate international airspace very heterogeneously. Some regions experience highly dense air traffic, with aircraft headings being largely uncorrelated. Other remain only sparsely populated, typically flying parallel to each other. Moreover, number airborne in region changes throughout day. In this paper, we focus on...
