Abstract

This paper presents the modeling and simulation results of an international aeronautical mobile communications system operating within the environment of an international civil aviation internet. The ground-based aeronautical mobile communications system uses a network of ground stations to provide the desired airspace coverage utilizing the Very High Frequency (VHF) band (118-137 MHz) allocated for aviation and a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technique to control media access between aircraft and ground stations. Major performance parameters of interest are: transit end-to-end delays; overall connection establishment times; and protocol overheads resulting from the use of various upper layer protocol data units
