FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: aircraft mobile IP address system for providing individual identification of passenger wireless devices by assigning unique IP addresses to each passenger wireless device located onboard the aircraft has an aircraft network on said aircraft; a ground-based access network for exchanging communication signals with at least one ground-based communication network; and an "air-to-ground" network connected to the aircraft network and the ground-based access network. The "air-to-ground" network has a means of managing IP addresses located on the ground; an IP tunnel for two-way transmission of data packets between the aircraft network and the ground-based access network; a plurality of "air-to-ground" modems for radio frequency communication between the aircraft network and the ground-based access network; a mobile IP client located on the aircraft and connected to the "air-to-ground" modems for holding a home address, allocated by the ground-based communication network, in the aircraft for communication between the aircraft network and the ground-based access network.
EFFECT: easy delivery of electronic services owing to individual identification of each passenger wireless device onboard an aircraft.
