Abstract :
B-VHF is a proposal for a future aeronautical communication system in the VHF band based on an overlay concept, i.e. during the transition phase the B-VHF system shares the same frequency band with legacy VHF systems without interfering with them. In this paper, the overlay concept is evaluated by simulations of the physical and higher layers. Simulation results show that the B-VHF overlay system works in presence of interference from legacy VHF systems. The protocol is designed to allow using the available resources very efficiently and to provide voice and data services with the required quality of service
