  • Publication number: 20240204964
    Abstract: A method comprises transmitting uplink messages from an AoIP ground datalink service provider to an AoIP gateway server, when an AoIP communication channel is available; determining whether the uplink messages have been received by the gateway server; storing the uplink messages in the gateway server; and notifying the datalink service provider when each uplink message is received by the gateway server. The method determines whether there are any uplink messages to be sent from the gateway server to a communications management system onboard an aircraft; sends any uplink messages, one at a time, from the gateway server to the communications management system; and transmits an acknowledgement from the communications management system to the gateway server. Each uplink message is sent from the communications management system to an onboard ACARS end system. Subsequent to each acknowledgement, a next uplink message is sent from the gateway server to the communications management system.
