Demonstration of IPv6 Network Mobility in Aeronautical Communications Network

This paper presents the development of a laboratory demonstrator within NEWSKY, a project co-funded by the European Commission within its 6th Research Framework Programme (FP6). Host and network mobility are some of the essential network functionalities required for efficient operation of a network-centric aeronautical communication system. This paper deals with the feasibility demonstration of Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) and Network Mobility (NEMO) protocols to suitable provide mobility support for the future Air Traffic Management (ATM) network.
