Performance of Aeronautical Mobile Airport Communications System in the Case of Aircraft at Final Approaching or Initial Climbing
Keywords:
Aeronautical mobile airport communications system, communication in aircraft at final approaching and initial climbing case, signal processingAbstract
The aeronautical mobile airport communications system (AeroMACS) is proposed to support the communications between the tower and aircrafts or the service vehicles in the range of airport. In this paper, the working environment that the aircraft at final approaching or initial climbing (AFAIC) is researched. By considering the influence of Doppler frequency shift and the channel model in AFAIC case, we propose a transmission scheme which can obtain preferable transmission performance for low order modulation. Simulation results of the signal-to-noise ratio loss, the spectrum efficiency and the bit error rate are given, which indicate that the proposed scheme can meet the demand of AeroMACS and expand the zone of airport communication area.
