Abstract
This invention relates to an Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) unified airborne and terrestrial communications architecture providing optimal high-speed connections with open radio transmission technologies (RTTs) between aircrafts and ground cells, and between different aircrafts in Ad-Hoc or Mesh network group, to construct the multi-dimensional unified information delivery platform across the airborne networks and the terrestrial networks wherein the same OWA mobile device or OWA mobile computer can be used seamlessly and continuously both in the aircrafts and on the ground.

17. An Open Wireless Architecture (OWA) In-Flight Mobile Access Control method, said method comprising:
-
a) an OWA Mobile Device or Mobile Notebook remaining in Terrestrial mode with Ground cellular networks if said OWA Mobile Device or Mobile Notebook does not receive an In-Flight Pilot Signal in aircraft cabins, b) said OWA Mobile Device or Mobile Notebook immediately turning off its Terrestrial radio transceivers, switching to In-Flight Mode accordingly after receiving said In-Flight Pilot Signal in aircraft cabins, and said OWA Mobile Device or Mobile Notebook becoming an OWA.in Flight Mobile Device or Mobile Notebook, c) said OWA.in Flight Mobile Device or Mobile Notebook searching whether a WLAN.Air (wireless local area network for airborne in-flight connection) RTT (radio transmission technology) is available for aircraft in-flight connection, and said OWA.in Flight Mobile Device or Mobile Notebook being connected in said WLAN.Air connection mode if said WLAN.Air RTT is available, otherwise, said OWA.in Flight Mobile Device or Mobile Notebook further searching whether a WPAN.Air (wireless personal access network or personal area network for airborne in-flight connection) RTT (radio transmission technology) is available for aircraft in-flight connection, and said OWA.in Flight Mobile Device or Mobile Notebook being connected in said WPAN.Air connection mode if said WPAN.Air RTT is available, d) said OWA.in Flight Mobile Device or Mobile Notebook further searching a standard WLAN (wireless local area network) RTT (radio transmission technology) or a standard WPAN (wireless personal access network or personal area network) RTT (radio transmission technology) if both said WLAN.Air RTT and said WPAN.Air RTT are not available for aircraft in-flight connection, and said OWA.in Flight Mobile Device or Mobile Notebook first reducing its radio transmitting power to the minimal level, then connecting to OWA In-Flight Network in said WLAN or said WPAN connection mode if either said WLAN RTT or said WPAN RTT is available, and e) said OWA.in Flight Mobile Device or Mobile Notebook also supporting wireline connection mode by plugging into OWA.on Board Wireless Router and Access Point through a networking cable or other forms of wiring in aircraft. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
