Future Aeronautical Communications. Institute of Communications and Navigation, German Aerospace Center

Second Edition. — ITAvE, 2016. — 390 p. — ISBN: 9533076259.The aim of this book is to edit the ensemble of newest contributions and research results in the field of future aeronautical communications. The book gives the readers the opportunity to deepen and broaden their knowledge and problems / methods in the field of aeronautical communications: current trends are identified; IPv6 aeronautical network aspect are covered; challenges for the satellite component are illustrated; AeroMACS and LDACS as future data links are investigated and visions for aeronautical communications are formulated. There are well-founded concerns that current air transportation systems will not be able to cope with their expected growth. Current processes, procedures and technologies in aeronautical communications do not provide the flexibility needed to meet the growing demands. Aeronautical communications is seen as a major bottleneck stressing capacity limits in air transportation.Ongoing research projects are developing the fundamental methods, concepts and technologies for future aeronautical communications that are required to enable higher capacities in air transportation. **Contents**__**Current Trends**__SESAR and SANDRA: A Co-Operative Approach for Future Aeronautical CommunicationsHandling Transition from Legacy Aircraft Communication Services to New Ones - A Communication Service Provider's View__**Future Aeronautical Network Aspects**__SOA-Based Aeronautical Service IntegrationTransport Protocol for Future AeronauticsSecurity Concepts in IPv6 Based Aeronautical CommunicationsQuality of Service Management and InteroperabilityInteroperability Among Heterogeneous Networks for Future Aeronautical CommunicationsDesign Aspects of a Testbed for an IPv6-Based Future Network for Aeronautical Safety and Non-Safety Communication__**Challenges for the Satellite Component**__The Role of Satellite Systems in Future Aeronautical CommunicationsDevelopment of a Broadband and Squint-Free Ku-Band Phased Array Antenna System for Airborne Satellite Communications__**Future Aeronautical Data Links**__Future Aeronautical Communications: The Data Link ComponentAeronautical Mobile Airport Communications System (AeroMACS)Utilizing IEEE 802.16 for Aeronautical CommunicationsThe LDACS1 Link Layer DesignThe LDACS1 Physical Layer Design__**Visions for Aeronautics**__IFAR - The International Forum for Aviation ResearchThe Airborne InternetList of Authors Second Edition. — ITAvE, 2016. — 390 p. — ISBN: 9533076259.
