Preliminary Analysis of the Spectral Requirements of Future ANLE Networks

Abstract

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering the use of the 5091-5150 MHz band for a future Airport Network and Location Equipment (ANLE) system. ANLE is visualized as a high-integrity, safety-rated wireless local area network (WLAN) for the airport surface, with terminals on the ground and on taxiing aircraft. In this analysis, The MITRE Corporations Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) has identified potential classes of sensors and other fixed and mobile applications that may participate in such networks. We have derived approximate upper bounds on the aggregate data rates and total bandwidth requirements of those potential applications. These upper bounds will provide a basis for estimating the total amount of radio spectrum that may be needed by an operational ANLE system.
