Boundary system designer for wireless aircraft networks
First Claim
1. An aircraft design system comprising:
- a memory storing software comprising;
a components database, a materials database, and a boundary designer;
a processor unit configured to execute the software stored in the memory;
the components database having designs for components configured for use in an aircraft;
the materials database having materials selected for desired types of wireless signal propagation;
the boundary designer configured toidentify a configuration for wireless networks in the aircraft;
select a number of boundaries for the wireless networks that provide a desired propagation of wireless signals for the wireless networks; and
select a configuration for a number of the components from the designs in the components database and select a number of materials for the number of the components to form the number of boundaries for the wireless networks improving wireless performance and integration; and
wherein the desired propagation is provided by the number of materials and the number of components.

Abstract
An aircraft design system comprising a components database having designs for components configured for use in an aircraft, a materials database having materials selected for desired types of wireless signal propagation, and a boundary designer. The boundary designer is configured to identify a configuration for wireless networks in the aircraft. The boundary designer is further configured to select a number of boundaries for the wireless networks that provide a desired propagation of wireless signals for the wireless networks. The boundary designer is further configured to select a configuration for a number of the components from the designs in the components database and select a number of materials for the number of the components to form the number of boundaries for the wireless networks.
