A communication system comprises an onboard server situated onboard a mobile platform and a remote server situated outside the mobile platform. The remote server is configured to generate one or more linear media channels for use by the onboard server. The communication system further comprises a virtual media client situated onboard the mobile platform. The virtual media client is configured to receive linear media channels from the onboard server and transmit performance data to the onboard server. The onboard server is configured to receive one or more media requests from a plurality of user media clients onboard the mobile platform. The one or more media requests specify one or more linear media channels. The onboard server is further configured to receive the one or more linear media channels from the remote server, provide the one or more linear media channels to the plurality of user media clients according to the received one or more media requests, provide at least a first linear media channel of the one or more media channels to the virtual media client; and receive a first set of performance data associated with the first linear media channel from the virtual media client.

Linear media channel quality of experience evaluation systems and methods

A data transmission system for a mobile platform comprises non-volatile data storage media, a network interface, and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to establish a first connection with one or more onboard passenger service devices providing a passenger service at the mobile platform using the network interface. The control circuitry is further configured to receive a set of system log data from the one or more onboard passenger service devices via the network interface and store one or more log signatures in the non-volatile data storage media. The control circuitry is further configured to detect faults fault related to onboard passenger service devices, store transmission rule data that includes rules for filtering system log data, filter the set of system log data based on the transmission rule data, and transmit a subset of system log data to the remote computing device via the network interface.

Selective transmission of system log data for mobile platforms

Control circuitry is configured to establish a first connection with one or more onboard passenger service devices using a network interface. The control circuitry is further configured to receive a set of system log data from the one or more onboard passenger service devices via the network interface and store one or more log signatures in non-volatile data storage media. The control circuitry is further configured to detect a first fault related to a first onboard passenger service device of the one or more onboard passenger service devices and store a first set of transmission rule data in the non-volatile data storage media. The control circuitry is further configured to filter the set of system log data, establish a second connection with a remote computing device using the network interface, and transmit a subset of system log data to the remote computing device via the network interface.
