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 …

Aeronautical ad hoc networks represent a special type of ad hoc wireless networks, given
their significantly larger scale and the distinct characteristics of their mobile nodes. Aircraft …

There has been an enormous growth in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) in land based
small to medium size networks with relatively strict power and resources. In this paper the …

Research into mobile ad hoc networks (MANET's) has exploded in recent years. MANET's
are a type of wireless network in which independently mobile nodes are capable of self …

Aeronautical communication systems are constantly evolving in order to handle the always
increasing flow of data generated by civil aviation. In this article we first present …

Airborne networks are special types of ad hoc wireless networks that can be used to
enhance situational awareness, flight coordination, and flight efficiency in civil aviation. A …

The engineering vision of relying on the “smart sky” for supporting air traffic and the “internet-
above-the-clouds” for in-flight entertainment has become imperative for the future aircraft …

Aircraft ad hoc networks are special network models of mobile ad hoc networks where
nodes can move anywhere and at anytime, and can construct networks in a self-organizing …

Geographic routing has become one of the most suitable routing strategies in wireless
mobile ad hoc network mainly due to its scalability. That is because there is no need to …

The availability of accurate location information (for airborne purposes) in unmanned
aeronautical ad-hoc networks (UAANETs) makes it possible to deploy geographic routing …
