Abstract
Nowadays, aircraft can share information through satellite systems and ground infrastructure with limited capacity in terms of air traffic services, operational control, administrative control, as well as connectivity and internet services on board. In particular, ad-hoc networks present some advantages for air navigation connectivity such as distributed operation, infrastructureless (satellite or ground) and low operating costs. This new type of mobile ad-hoc networks is called AANET (Aeronautical Ad-hoc Networks), which have challenges such as very high-speed nodes, large distances between nodes, and limited bandwidth. In this work, the performance evaluation of the classic Ad-Hoc protocols AODV and OLSR, designed for traditional mobile Ad-hoc networks (MANET), is carried out in an AANET using realistic mobility patterns of Quito control area. Our results in the realistic simulation scenario show that OLSR outperforms AODV and it is a feasible candidate for communications between aircraft.
