Abstract
Systems and methods for combining operational data transmission (statistics about device health, connected device information, and the like) and keep alive packets (ping type packets which expect a reply back within predetermined amount of time to indicate network connections can pass traffic bi-directionally) are described. Embodiments provide an onboard aircraft communication equipment, in which the onboard aircraft communication equipment is deployed on an operational aircraft and transmits keep-alive packets to a ground network. Embodiments generate operational data from the aircraft, construct a bi-directional keep-alive packet with keep-alive data for transmission between the onboard aircraft communication equipment and the ground network, combine the operational data with the bi-directional keep-alive packet into a combined keep-alive request transmission, and transmit the combined keep-alive request transmission from the onboard aircraft communication equipment to the ground network.
