Abstract: A method comprises providing first and second end systems sharing the same A619 origin and destination codes, wherein the first end system has a first A618 label/sublabel, and the second end system has a second A618 label/sublabel different from the first label/sublabel. When an uplink message is an A618 uplink with the first label/sublabel, the method sends an A619 uplink with A619 destination code via a first end system port. If an uplink message is an A618 uplink with the second label/sublabel, the method sends an A619 uplink with A619 destination code via a second end system port. When downlink message is received with the A619 origin code on the first end system port, the method sends an A618 downlink with the first label/sublabel. If downlink message is received with the A619 origin code on the second end system port, the method sends an A618 downlink with the second label/sublabel.

Abstract: Systems and methods for seamless switching of data radios are provided herein. In one example, a communications system includes first and second data radios communicatively coupled to first and second antennas at first and second positions on a vehicle, respectively. The first and second data radios are tuned to the same frequency for data communications. The communications system includes at least one processor communicatively coupled to a memory, the first data radio, and the second data radio. The at least one processor is configured to: monitor one or more parameters for the first and second data radios; determine whether the first data radio or the second data radio has better current performance based on a comparison of the one or more parameters for the first and second data radios; and switch from the first data radio to the second data radio for primary data communications based on the determination.

Abstract: An embodiment of a communication management unit (CMU) includes emulator and data-mining circuits. The emulator circuit is configured to generate a data request having a same format as a data request from a vehicle communications center, to send the data request to a subsystem disposed on a vehicle, and to receive data sent by the subsystem in response to the data request. The data-mining circuit is configured to provide at least some of the received data to a determining circuit configured to determine information in response to the provided data. For example, such a CMU can request flight-plan data from a flight management subsystem (FMS) by sending, to the FMS, an emulated data-request message having the same format as a data-request message from a ground-based aircraft operations center. That is, the CMU can “fool” the FMS into “thinking” that the data-request message originated from the ground-based aircraft operations center.
