Modeling and simulation for FC-AE-1553 network

The problem of computer simulation for FC-AE-1553(Fibre Channel-Avionics Environment-1553) network is studied.Based on the basic principle of FC-AE-1553 network,a network structure model and a control algorithm of data transmission are proposed.A FC-AE-1553 network node model and a fibre channel switch model are set up in OPNET Modeler.The whole data transmission process of FC-AE-1553 network is controlled by the proposed control algorithm of data transmission.A typical topological network for avionics is simulated.Good real-time performance of FC-AE-1553 network is validated with simulation tests and results analysis.The analyzed results show that the network throughput using proposed control algorithm of data transmission can be doubled nearly.
