Abstract

The changes in the aeronautical telecommunication network for the use of the Internet Protocol - ATN/IPS (Aeronautical Telecommunication Network/ Internet Protocol Stack) - arise the challenge of managing the network traffic in order to keep available the essential services communications to air traffic control and air defense, even in the momentary links degradation scenarios. Due to the heterogeneity of different links transmission capacities in this infrastructure, the system tends to suffer with bottlenecks in periods of greater usage. By optimizing the packets allocation and the load distribution, there is a better use of the entire infrastructure, which can be sized to meet the demands of services efficiently. This paper aims to present a multiple attribute decision making (MADM) and a combinatorial optimization model that leads to an optimized link selection for ATN/IPS data transmissions. The model allows load balancing and, from the network management point of view, a better link transmission capacity sizing. In addition to the combined model for the ATN/IPS network allocation optimization, this paper presents a review of applied methods associated to the heterogeneous network selection problem.
