CODEC Test Plan. Phase 3

Abstract

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Coder/Decoder (CODEC) Test Program will determine the suitability of low data rate digitized voice via a satellite link for air traffic control (ATC) applications. A primary concern of the FAA in assessing low data rate CODECs will be to minimize satellite bandwidth and power requirements while achieving acceptable voice performance. The final results of the FAA CODEC test plan will be analyzed and a recommendation of a low data rate voice CODEC for ATC communications will be proposed for inclusion to the Aeronautical Mobile Satellite Service (AMSS). The FAA CODEC testing will support the validation of Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPS), prepared by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), as well as Minimal Operational Performance Standards (MOPS), developed by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA), for AMSS voice communications.
