Abstract :
A wireless communication system is presented which is designed specifically to operate in an airport radio environment and serve the communication needs of airline surface operations. The physical layer design based on spread-spectrum technology, is optimized using recent RF field measurements and statistical characterizations of an airport ramp environment. The communication architecture is optimized based on a study of airline operations and communications
