Research on Aircraft Communication and Satellite Link Handoff Simulation for Spatial Information Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aircraft communication and satellite link handoff issues in spatial information network are very important and are focused in this paper. The simulation modules of satellite network nodes and links in network simulator version 2(NS-2) are analyzed in details in this paper. A method of extending NS-2 kernel module is proposed based on analysis of satellite network simulation principle and approach. As an example, the aircraft communication simulation module is designed and implemented. Simulation results show that flight of aircraft has effect on the link handoff characteristic, and show that the proposed extension method is feasible.
