  • System and method for communicating between a communications management system using ARINC 429 protocol and an internet protocol radio
    Patent number: 10334081
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a processing system comprising: an ARINC 429 converter system; an Internet protocol (IP) suite; and an Ethernet driver; wherein the processing system is configured to be coupled to a communications management system and at least one IP radio; wherein the processing system converts data, from the communications management system, from an ARINC 429 protocol into a transport layer protocol, an IP and a Ethernet protocol; and wherein the processing system converts data, from the IP radio, from the Ethernet protocol, IP, and transport layer protocol to the ARINC 429 protocol.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DYNAMIC TRANSPORT PROTOCOL LAYER MANAGEMENT FOR AVIONICS SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20170026487
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic transport protocol layer management for avionics system are provided. In one embodiment, a method for providing dynamic transport protocol layer management for avionics applications comprises: selecting an air-ground communication IP datalink based at least in part on criteria defined by one or more profile and policy definitions; selecting a transport layer protocol based on the air-ground communication IP datalink selected and further based on criteria defined by the one or more profile and policy definitions; and instantiating a port entity to transport air-ground communications between a first on-board application and the air-ground communication IP datalink through a Socket API, based on the selected transport layer protocol.
