Abstract

Aircraft data network (ADN) is a data networking for signal transmission among avionic systems in aircraft, and it mostly has been applied MIL-STD-1553B that guarantees high reliability considering its application environments. However, commercial Ethernet has been widely applied for ADN recently, and its range of applications have increased. Ethernet provides high speed of data transmission, however, it could not guarantee quality of service (QoS) so high as MIL-STD-1553B. In this paper, we propose dynamic routing and priority based data transmission schemes in order to improve the QoS of legacy Ethernet. Our propose schemes can be applied to Ethernet switch, and it is able to manage network traffic efficiently, and reduce the time for data transmission. We analyze the packet transmission time for both legacy and proposed schemes in Ethernet environments using simulation, and we show that our proposed scheme can reduce the time for data transmission compare to legacy spanning tree protocol.

항공 데이터 네트워크 (ADN; aircraft data network)는 항공기 항전장비들 간 신호데이터 송수신을 위한 네트워크로써 항공기 운용 환경을 고려해 MIL-STD-1553B와 같이 고신뢰성 프로토콜이 사용되어왔다. 최근에는 고속통신의 필요성이 증가함에 따라 상용 이더넷이 ADN으로 활용되고 있으며, 적용 범위가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 이더넷은 MIL-STD-1553B 프로토콜에 비해 고속 데이터 전송이 가능하다는 장점이 있지만, 지연시간이 길다는 낮은 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 ADN으로 활용되는 이더넷의 성능 향상을 위한 동적 라우팅 기법과 우선순위 기반 데이터 전송기법을 제시한다. 제시기법은 이더넷 스위치에 적용되어 네트워크 트래픽의 효율적 관리 및 고우선순위 데이터 전송시간 단축시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이더넷 스위치 기반 항공전자 네트워크 환경에서 시뮬레이션을 통해 제시기법이 기존 이더넷에서 사용되는 스패닝 트리 프로토콜에 비해 데이터 전송시간을 단축시킬 수 있음을 입증한다.
