Abstract: Systems and methods for detection of network issues and health reporting to ground-based stakeholders are described herein. In exemplary embodiments, a system includes multiple aircraft, wherein an aircraft in the multiple aircraft communicates through one or more communication links. The aircraft includes processors that compile network event information related to degraded communication link events. Further, the aircraft includes memory units that store a degraded link event report and a configuration database, wherein the degraded link event report stores the network event information related to the degraded communication link events as directed the configuration database. The system additionally includes a network issue detector, in communication with the multiple aircraft, which receives degraded link event reports from the multiple aircraft, wherein the network issue detector includes processors that identify systemic degraded data link network problems with the communication links based on context identified in the degraded link event reports.

Abstract: A vehicle communication system including a communication management unit (CMU) and a data gateway is provided. The CMU is at least in part configured to route first type messages using a first type message communication. The data gateway is configured to communicate second type messages to a remote location. The CMU is configured to route at least some of the first type messages to the data gateway. The data gateway is configured to communicate a pseudo acknowledgment for each message block of each first type message routed to the data gateway back to the CMU indicating the message block was received by a designated remote location. The data gateway is further configured to interface each received first type message into the second type message and communicate each second type message to the designated remote location using a second type of message communication.

Abstract: A communication system is provided. The communication system comprises a communication management unit (CMU) comprising a processor, a memory and an input/output port; wherein the processor is configured to run a distribution application operable to: when data is received from a ground system at the input/output port, transmit the data to a designated first device and transmit selected data of the data received at the input/output port to at least one designated second device; and when data is received from the first device or the second device, transmit the data to the other of the first and second device as well as an intended recipient of the data.

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: A system for dynamic flight tracking of an aircraft comprises a ground center configured to communicate with a flight tracking application onboard an aircraft, wherein the flight tracking application is preloaded with default flight tracking preferences comprising a normal time rate interval for sending normal condition position reports to the ground center when a flight condition is normal; abnormal time rate intervals for sending abnormal condition position reports to the ground center when abnormal flight conditions are detected, with the abnormal time rate intervals less than the normal time rate interval; and abnormal flight condition criteria to determine which aircraft conditions to monitor for detecting abnormal flight conditions. The ground center receives flight tracking communications from the aircraft for monitoring flight conditions to determine if the aircraft is encountering abnormal flight conditions, and is operative to send an uplink request to the aircraft to change the default flight tracking preferences.

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.
