The INtelligent Airport Project Aims:To develop a next generation advanced wired and wireless network for futureairport environments Project Objectives: To study the feasibility of a single multi-service infrastructure to replace the many independently installed systems characteristic of current installations 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
16. System 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

19. 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
20. The solution: MOOSEMulti-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
