Patent number: 10469323Abstract: A hybrid architecture for avionics data transmission and a corresponding system are disclosed. In one aspect, the architecture includes a plurality of subscriber stations connected by a data transmission capability. The stations are connected on the one hand by a first capability for transmitting data to their neighbors to form at least a first data transmission network in a closed ring between the stations and on the other hand by a second capability for transmitting data to a capability forming a central communication plan switch to form at least one second data transmission network in a star between the stations and the capability forming the central plan switch.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2016Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: ThalesInventors: Patrice Georges Paul Toillon, David José Faura, Paul Marie Boivin-Champeaux, Vincent Christophe Cédric Sollier
