    Abstract: Disclosed is a method that includes receiving absolute wireless access point coordinates from wireless access points that define respective wireless access point positions of the wireless access points. The method includes orienting the directional antenna to orientations based on the absolute wireless access point coordinates. The method includes transmitting test signals to the respective wireless access points while the directional antenna is positioned at the orientations to generate the database entries associated with the respective wireless access point positions. The method includes orienting the directional antenna according to a first one of the database entries having a greatest likelihood to establish a first communications path between a first one of the wireless access points and the wireless endpoint. The method includes transmitting a data signal to the first one of the wireless access points with a minimum transmission power based on the database entries.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include methods and systems for architectures for wireless avionics communication networks. The embodiments further include detecting a signal strength of wireless nodes, assigning a primary data controller and standby data controller for each of the wireless nodes based at least in part on the signal strength, and generating a deployment matrix based on the assignment of the primary data controller and the standby data controller. The embodiments also include broadcasting the deployment matrix over a wired connection, allocating a buffer size based on data rates of each of the wireless nodes connected to the primary data controller and the standby data controller, and exchanging data based on the deployment matrix.
