Description of a Model for Evaluating Operational Performance of Communications systems,

Abstract

This report documents on aeronautical communications operational performance model developed by ARINC Research Corporation in support of the Federal Aviation Administration's AEROSAT program. The model is operationally oriented. Its prime purpose is to serve as a tool for examining the impact of such factors as operational communications requirements and aircraft movements on the operational performance obtained by the user of a given communications system. The model has a generalized structure and is highly versatile. By judicious selection of input parameters, it can portray a wide variety of communications issues. In addition to providing a basic description of the model elements, this report reviews the background for the model's development; describes the technical scope, applications, and capabilities of the model; and presents some test runs.
