Abstract

The growing demand for air traffic presents challenges in air traffic management, making seamless gate-to-gate communication essential. Traditional radio frequency communication faces limitations such as weather dependency and frequency restrictions. To address these issues, data link communications have gained importance, using VHF channels, satellite systems, and ATN/IPS-based networks. This study introduces the ATMACA (Air Traffic Management and Communication Over ATN/IPS) protocol, an advanced context management framework for ATN/IPS, designed to enhance aviation communications. ATMACA integrates instant messaging and software-defined nodes to improve connectivity, session continuity, and mobility management across networks and devices. It ensures seamless user interaction, reduces pilot workload, and enhances flight safety through automated Air Traffic Control (ATC) sector handoff in Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) and Data Link Initiation Capability (DLIC) applications. Another key innovation of the ATMACA framework is Green Route Operations (GRO), which enables real-time trajectory prediction and optimization.
