BOUNDARY SYSTEM DESIGNER FOR WIRELESS AIRCRAFT NETWORKS

摘要

An aircraft design system (104) comprising a components database (112) having designs (116) for components (118) configured for use in an aircraft (120), a materials database (114) having materials (122) selected for desired types of wireless signal propagation (124), and a boundary designer (102). The boundary designer (102) is configured to identify a configuration (154) for wireless networks (140) in the aircraft (120). The boundary designer (102) is further configured to select a number of boundaries for the wireless networks (140) that provide a desired propagation of wireless signals for the wireless networks (140). The boundary designer (102) is further configured to select a configuration (156) for a number of the components (118) from the designs (116) in the components database (112) and select a number of materials (122) for the number of the components (118) to form the number of boundaries (155) for the wireless networks (140).
