LDACS overview 1/ Icreasig demad for advaced commuicatio services i civil aviatio leads to the eed for a ew commuicatio system able to support the capacity ad security requiremets of the air trasportatio system. SESAR project (Sigle Europea Sky ATM Research) aims to develop a ew commuicatio ifrastructure to support the air traffic maagemet L-Bad Digital Commuicatio System (LDACS) will provide support for air/groud data lik Due to high cogestio of the VHF frequecies, LDACS will work o the L- bad ([960-113] MHz) Spectral compatibility with other legacy systems operatig i L-bad eeds to be addressed JTIDS
LDACS overview / Two optios are curretly uder cosideratio: LDACS1 FDD: flexible frequecy allocatio Orthogoal Frequecy Divisio Multiplex (OFDM): allows to cotrast multipath effects B=498.05 khz N sub =64 f s =65 khz T symb =10.0 µs QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM Reed Salomo Code (outer) Covolutioal Code (ier) LDACS TDD: flexible resource divisio Cotiuos Phase Frequecy Shift Keyig (CPFSK): miimizes out-of-bad emissios
JTIDS oveview Joit Tactical Iformatio Distributio System (JTIDS) is a military system used for several purposes. High trasmitted power (up to 1000W) Impulsive trasmissio (6.4 μs) Spreaded sigal (3MHz) Frequecy hoppig (N hp =51) JTIDS operates i a large rage of frequecy bad [960-115] MHz, hece iterferece with LDACS becomes uavoidable JTIDS iterfrece affects all the LDACS badwidth JTIDS iterferece affects oly few samples of the LDACS symbol
Prelimiary Iterferece Aalysis Prelimiary aalysis permits to idetify the coditios (distace, d ad frequecy offset Df) that allow to LDACS to operate i presece of JTIDS iterferece. The iterferece power level is compared with the maximum tolerable iterferece power level (i.e. mi C/I): I( d, Df ) EIRP PL( d) G rx L rx OCR( Df ) DC - EIRP is the JTIDS Equivalet Isotropically Radiated Power; - PL(d) is the free space path loss; - G rx e L rx are the LDACS receiver atea gai ad cable loss, respectively; - OCR(Δf) (Off Chael Rejectio) takes ito accout the ability of the victim receiver to reject the iterferer sigal. - DC is a term that takes ito accout the iterferer duty cycle.
Prelimiary Iterferece Aalysis Results Assumptios: The ratio C/I is fixed to 10 db ad C=receiver sesitivity (worst case) The JTIDS trasmissio power is fixed to 1000 W. TSDF is set to 50% ad 5% that represet the maximum ad miimum values. 1 Sceario Groud Statio to Airbore Aircraft No Iterferig Distace TSDF=50% TSDF=5% d > 500km d > 157km 3 4 Airbore Aircraft to Airbore Aircraft to Airbore Aircraft to Groud Statio Groud Statio to Groud Statio d > 500km d > 500km d > 500km d > 500km d > 60km d > 500km Operatioal distace: miimum vertical separatio of the aircrafts: 300mt 5 Aircraft o the Groud to Aircraft o the Groud d > 6.6km d > 18.5km 6 Groud Statio to Aircraft o the Groud d > 500km d > 16km 7 Aircraft o the Groud to Groud Statio d > 46.5km d > 5.5km
Proposed Sesig ad Mitigatio method The basic idea is the retrasmissio of the Packet Data Uit (PDU) whe the presece of JTIDS system is detected. The first copy of the packet is stored ad combied with its retrasmissio Packet combiig is used either to improve iterferece detectio ad sigal decodig. JTIDS ad LDACS trasmissios are idepedet processes: eve if both the copies of the PDU are affected by JTIDS iterferece with high probability differet portios of the PDU are corrupted
Sesig method 1/ Spectrum sesig is a well-kow topic i Cogitive Radio eergy detector: computes the eergy of the received samples durig a time iterval called sesig period ad Accuracy of eergy detector is proportioal to the duratio of the sesig period I the cosidered sceario: There is ot a dedicated sesig iterval The goal is to detect which samples are corrupted ad ot oly if the iterferece is preset Modified eergy detector sesig period must be limited at W samples defied accordig to the JTIDS sigal duratio (W=T p /f s +1 where f s is the samplig frequecy ad T p the pulse duratio) exploits a slidig widow which collects the eergy of a part of the received sigal
Sesig method / Sesig is performed o the differece betwee the two packet s replicas Dr[ i] r1 [ i] r[ i] This permits to reduce the false alarm probability due to by the a high peak to average ratio (PAPR) that characterizes the LDACS (i.e. OFDM) sigal T W W i a i Dr[ i] M cosecutive test statistics (T ) are observed: if at least M=L-1 cosecutive samples are over the threshold we assume the iterferece is preset.
