Network-Assisted Optimal Datalink Selection Scheme for Heterogeneous Aeronautical Network

Algorithm 1

The proposed priority distinction selection algorithm.

Step 1: Sort ,

Step 2:

For all , ;

  If , , can access , update ;

  else , no network can be accessed by .

Step 3:

For all , ;

 If , , can access , and update

;

 else put to candidate set .

For

 If , break;

 else For all ;

      If , can access to and be

deleted from , and then update ;

      else still stay in .

If , , can’t access any

network, and need to wait the next selection.
