Approaches to Difficult Aerospace Telecommunications Links

With the proliferation of local wireless and 4G cellular networks, it is often presumed that reliable and fast wireless links are commonplace. However, there are still systems that must leverage very constrained, lagged, and lossy communication links. This discussion explores aerospace systems that utilize these problematic links, the challenges of using modern protocols over these links, and how potential solutions can negatively impact the performance of the entire system.
