Abstract

In order to decrease the interference to the avionics equipments from the mobile communications on aircraft (MCA) deployed in cabin, multiple access points (AP) are expected to be installed to reduce the necessary transmission power. Due to the tunnel shape of the cabin, the multiple APs are connected on the fiber and can provide transmission diversity. In this letter, the optimal AP deployment scheme is proposed, which is confirmed with finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for the wireless propagation between users and APs. Not only the interference is mitigated, but also the capacity is increased.
