PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION FOR AVIONIC WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

摘要

A data aggregator includes a traffic characterization module, a rate estimator, a data regulator, and a sensor data transmission interface. The traffic characterization module is operable to generate a predicted quality of service for a plurality of sensors having one or more data rates and a plurality of priorities. The rate estimator is operable to generate a plurality of required data rates to maintain a target quality of service for one or more data consumers of an avionic communication network based on the predicted quality of service. The data regulator is operable to hold and release a plurality of sensor data from the sensors in one or more queues at the required data rates as a regulated data flow. The sensor data transmission interface is operable transmit the regulated data flow to the one or more data consumers.
