The INtelligent Airport

Project Aims: To develop a next generation advanced wired and wireless network for future airport environments

Project Objectives:

1. To study the feasibility of a single multi-service infrastructure to replace the many independently installed systems characteristic of current installations

2. To determine new system architectures which provide dynamic capacity allocation, wireless/wired interworking and device location

3. To determine new algorithms for addressing and routeing, able to operate seamlessly in a combined wired and wireless environment

4. To design a new form of wireless signal distribution network where multiservice antenna units cooperate, not only to provide communication, but also to provide identification and location services

5. In collaboration with our industrial partners, to define and build small proof of principle demonstrators using the proposed architectures and technologies

Project Aims: To develop a next generation advanced wired and wireless network for future airport environments

Project Objectives:

1. To study the feasibility of a single multi-service infrastructure to replace the many independently installed systems characteristic of current installations

2. To determine new system architectures which provide dynamic capacity allocation, wireless/wired interworking and device location

- To do this we need to understand how people use airports

- And where their communication requirements are

- The first aspect of the work is therefore to develop a flow model

The INtelligent Airport

Page 15: TINA showcase: Introduction

The INtelligent AirportSystem Architecture Studies

• Passenger flow and data traffic models leading to spatial distribution of bandwidth requirements in the terminal

• Genetic algorithm optimisation to identify optimum number, capacity and location of BS/AU given the highly variable traffic demand in this application

• Load balancing among BS using Relay Nodes

• Network design tool

The Network Scenario

• The Airport Network must be protocol agnostic

• Ethernet good base as it is ubiquitous, but

• Poor scalability• RSTP makes inefficient use of the

network resources

• Our solution - A Modified Ethernet which must:

• be compatible with standard Ethernet end nodes

• route more intelligently (shortest paths; failure avoidance)

• be more scalable

Page 19: TINA showcase: Introduction

The INtelligent AirportThe solution: MOOSE

Multi-layer Origin-Organised Scalable Ethernet

• Introduce hierarchy into MAC addresses• switch ID : node ID

• Addresses rewritten by switches

• Switches only need track switch IDs not entire addresses

• Limit now ~8000 switches not ~8000 nodes• Say 100 nodes connected to each switch• => 100 fold scalability improvement

Transparent to standard Ethernet end nodes

Now being implemented
