Improving Scientific Payload Communication Over Multiple, Low-Capacity Links
Communication is an important part of every airborne science mission. It provides a means for a large group of ground-based scientists to monitor and adjust experiments aboard aircraft that often cannot support a large number of passengers. In some cases, such as unmanned aircraft, communication becomes critical to a successful mission. Existing communication systems require the use of multiple, low-capacity channels, or links, to handle the capacity requirements of the scientists. Current communication solutions attempt to balance performance and reliability, but ultimately suffer from some critical design flaws that limit the ability of the system to handle additional links. We show how adding resources to the current system results in decreased performance and reliability. We explore the use of a new communication protocol, MultiPath Transmission Control Protocol, to make better use of multiple communication links and propose a total system capable of scaling to any number of channels efficiently and dynamically. The tools developed to support and measure this solution are also detailed.
