A Study of Optimal Computer Network Architecture for Digital Avionics Systems.

Abstract

In this paper, current theoretical considerations in available literature have been used to sort out the essential figures of merit of computer network architectures for digital avionic systems. Fourteen different approaches to the same problem of data multiplexing in avionics systems are analyzed according to the key issues. Conclusions drawn are used to define the optimal computer network architecture for digital avionics. The Self-Managing Multiplex System (SMS) is conceptually designed with respect to the optimal characteristics, along with the discussions of some trade-offs that had to be made. The burst errors self-correcting feature of the broadcast-acknowledgements in the SMS concept seems to deserve some sort of testing in practice. It is recommended that a detailed simulation study should be performed later and a hot bench built up using the latest technologies that exist. (Author)
