Abstract: A vehicle communication management unit is provided that includes at least one configurable communication interface, at least one memory and a communication controller. Each configuration communication interface is configured to interface signals between a communication link and the vehicle communication management unit using a select communication protocol. The memory is used to store operating instructions of the communication management unit including an interface configuration table. The interface configuration table includes communication operating parameters for select communication protocols. The communication controller is used to control communication operations of the communication management unit. The communication controller is configured to determine a type of communication protocol used in a communication link coupled to the at least one configurable communication interface. The communication controller is further configured to configure the at least one configurable communication interface with communication operating parameters stored in the configuration table associated with the determined type of communication protocol.

Abstract: A method for minimizing propagation time of at least one queued-up datalink TPDU comprises determining whether a current TPDU ready for transmission requires acknowledgement; transmitting the current TPDU, starting a retry timer, and setting a transmission count to one, when acknowledgement required; determining whether acknowledgement received after transmitting the current TPDU; determining whether a pending TPDU is awaiting transmission when acknowledgement is not received; when a pending TPDU is awaiting transmission, determining whether elapsed wait time of the current TPDU is greater than a preselected minimum; incrementing the transmission count by one when elapsed wait time is greater than the preselected minimum; determining again whether there is a pending TPDU awaiting transmission when the transmission count is less than a predetermined maximum and an inactivity timer has not expired; and when there is still at least one pending TPDU awaiting transmission, retransmitting the current TPDU and restarting the retry timer.
Abstract translation: 用于使至少一个排队的数据链路TPDU的传播时间最小化的方法包括确定准备传输的当前TPDU是否需要确认; 当需要确认时，发送当前的TPDU，启动重试定时器，并将发送计数设置为1; 确定在发送当前TPDU之后接收到的确认; 当不接收到确认时，确定待决TPDU是否正在等待传输; 当等待TPDU正在等待传输时，确定当前TPDU的经过的等待时间是否大于预选的最小值; 等待时间大于预选的最小值时，将传输次数递增1; 当发送计数小于预定最大值并且非活动定时器尚未到期时，再次确定是否存在等待发送的等待TPDU; 并且当仍然存在至少一个等待传输的等待TPDU时，重传当前TPDU并重新启动重试定时器。

Abstract: A method for processing Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) messages at a Communications Management Unit (CMU) on an aircraft is provided. The method includes, for an ACARS downlink message, receiving a message at the CMU from an application on a computer external to the CMU onboard the aircraft, reading a field in the message that indicates a message type for that application, determining an ACARS label associated with the message type, using the determined ACARS label instead of the industry standard ACARS label/sublabel associated with the onboard application external to the CMU, and sending the ACARS downlink message encoded with the determined ACARS label to a ground system to be delivered to a peer ground application.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced subnetwork preference logic are herein provided. In certain implementations, a method for transmitting messages over a datalink communication system includes identifying a location of a first communication unit; and identifying an altitude of the first communication unit. Further, the method includes selecting a sub-network preference for the first communication unit for communicating between the first communication unit and one or more other communication units, wherein the sub-network preference is selected based on the location and the altitude of the first communication unit, wherein the sub-network preference identifies one or more sub-networks in order of preference; and transmitting one or more messages to the one or more other communication units through a sub-network that is a most preferred sub-network as indicated by the selected sub-network preference and available for communications.

Abstract: A method for vehicle communications is disclosed. The method comprises monitoring, in a vehicle during travel, line of sight (LOS) datalink messages sent to one or more other vehicles from one or more ground stations in a LOS datalink network coverage area, and calculating a rate in which the LOS datalink messages are sent to the other vehicles. The method detects that the vehicle is substantially out of the LOS datalink network coverage area, when the LOS datalink messages rate drops below a threshold value. Messages are transmitted from the vehicle over a different available network when the vehicle is substantially out of the LOS datalink network coverage area.

In one embodiment, an avionics computer installed onboard an aircraft comprises: a processing device; and a memory device communicatively coupled to the processing device and including instructions which, when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to: send a request to a datalink applications database, wherein the request includes a query as to whether an airport is equipped with at least one datalink application; receive a response from the datalink applications database, wherein the response indicates whether the airport is equipped with the at least one datalink application; and send a message via datalink if the response indicates the airport is equipped with the at least one datalink application.
