Reliable data communication link implementation via cellular LTE services for static or moving ground equipment control

Well-Developed data transmission services of the cellular mobile network (3G and LTE) facilitate cheap and lightweight wireless data communication solution for portable or moving ground equipment’s wireless control channel implementation. However, the quality of cellular networks data transfer service is too low to be used in critical data transfer in remote control applications. Two independent cellular data transfer services are used to overcome this problem in our implementation. The solution may improve network throughput and/or availability and provides fail-safe operation depending on the selected congestion control scheduler. The solution is implemented in Linux and can be used for different kinds of data transfer via TCP protocol, both for static or moving remote control equipment.
