TLDR
An intelligent communications capability that enhances legacy military tactical datalink systems by creating an interface between disparate civil and military communications systems onboard military aircraft, ground vehicles, and ground-based communications infrastructures is presented in this article.Abstract:
An intelligent communications capability that enhances legacy military tactical datalink systems by creating an interface between disparate civil and military communications systems onboard military aircraft, ground vehicles, and ground-based communications infrastructures. This capability performs various information management tasks to interface with avionics systems, ground vehicle computer systems, and ground-based infrastructure computer systems. The invention enhances message processing through automation in areas such as data collection, incoming message handling, outgoing message construction, communications network management, and message priority management and routing. The invention also incorporates learning techniques to improve the overall efficiency of integrated military missions, operations, and maintenance in areas such as intelligent consolidation of datalink information, intelligent message distribution, and adaptive message re-routing in response to communications network failures. These enhancements will benefit the military by improving mission effectiveness with real-time information integration and management while reducing their support costs.read more

Enabling interoperability between distributed devices using different communication link technologies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a message set that can be used by services to advertise available services and by applications to identify desired services, in order to facilitate communications and interoperability between applications and services.
Patent
Aircraft data link network routing
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for routing aircraft data link messages over a plurality of communications networks is disclosed, which assigns at least one data link message routing service for an aircraft having a first message processing application based on prescribed criteria.
Patent
Communication channel selection and use
TL;DR: In this paper, the characterization of requests for items of information is applied to select one of a plurality of communication channels for servicing the request, where different requests for item of information are assigned to different communication channels, those different channels can be used to obtain items from the target address simultaneously.
Patent
System and method for transmitting information using aircraft as transmission relays
TL;DR: In this article, a method of processing a message in a relay network comprises determining if a destination node is within range, if the destination node was not in range, identifying one or more network member aircraft within range; selecting one of the one or multiple network members within range.
Patent
System and Method for Wirelessly Transferring Content to and from an Aircraft
TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for wirelessly transferring content to and from a vehicle, in particular, an aircraft, is presented, which includes data, voice, video and multimedia that can be wirelessly exchanged over a wireless communication link between an aircraft and a ground station while the aircraft is at or near a parking gate, or between aircraft.

Apparatus and method for transparent wireless communication between a remote device and a host system
TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus and method is provided for transparent communication between a remote or mobile device and a fixed communication host network. But it is not clear how to determine whether the remote devices are indistinguishable to the host network from the locally attached devices.
Patent
Congestion control for connectionless traffic in data networks via alternate routing
TL;DR: In this article, a congestion control scheme for connectionless networks relieves congestion by routing a portion of traffic on a congested primary path onto a predefined alternate path constructed such that loop-freedom is guaranteed.
