Abstract
The complexity and costs of the avionics communication architecture are increasing exponentially with the increasing number of embedded computers over the last few decades. To limit the cabling complexity and the deployment costs of such a communication architecture, we specify a new Gigabit multiple-ring Ethernet network, called AeroRing, while meeting the avionics requirements. First, we describe the current Aircraft Data Communication Network (ADCN) to highlight the main characteristics and requirements that have to be fulfilled by our solution. Then, we give an overview of the most relevant solutions to improve ADCN performance and relate them to AeroRing. Afterwards, we detail the specifications and the main Performance Indicators (PIs) of AeroRing. Finally, sensitivity and validation analyses of AeroRing are conducted through a realistic avionics application, regarding the various PIs, in comparison to the backbone network of the ADCN, the Avionics Full DupleX Switched Ethernet (AFDX). The computed AeroRing performance metrics show its ability to guarantee the avionics requirements.
