1. A method of assessing timeslot compatibility between a first platform and a second platform communicating over a Time Division Multiple Access network, the method comprising:
obtaining, by a processor onboard one of the first platform and the second platform, data representing a metamodel of communication characteristics of the first platform and the second platform, said first platform having a first base standard and said second platform having a second base standard different than the first base standard, wherein said first and second base standards define said communication characteristics of said first and second platform respectively, the metamodel including a first information regarding at least transmit timeslots for transmission by the first platform, and a second information regarding at least receive timeslots for reception by the second platform; querying, by the processor, the metamodel to assess compatibility between the transmit timeslots and the receive timeslots, wherein a transmit timeslot is assessed to be compatible with a receive timeslot when the transmit timeslot coincides in time with the receive timeslot, and is assessed to be not compatible otherwise; and outputting a timeslot compatibility map based on a result of the querying;
wherein obtaining data representing the metamodel comprises:obtaining first and second network initiation source files for said first and second base standards respectively;converting, when one or more of the source files is in a human-readable data catalogue format, said one or more source files in the human readable data catalogue format into a machine processable format; andcomparing each of the first and second source files with respective schematas, extracting respective relevant data from a first metamodel generated from the first source file and a second metamodel generated from the second source file and merging the respective relevant data into the metamodel. |
