Evolution of aeronautical communications for personal and multimedia services

Key Factors in Designing In-Flight Entertainment Systems

“…(Holzbock et al, 2004) said that the installed navigation and communication systems on the aircraft are designed to be sensitive to electromagnetic signals, so they can be protected against passenger's emitters by means of frequency separation. In addition, (Jahn & Holzbock, 2003) mentioned that there are two types of PEDs interference, intentional and spurious. The former is the emissions used to transmit data over the PED allocated frequency band.…”

Integration of satellite and terrestrial systems in future multimedia communications

“…When we consider mobile broadband by satellite, the major market is for passenger vehicles n n n n (aircraft [10], ships and trains/coaches) except the INMARSAT BGAN system, where a wider range of customers are perhaps more likely to use broadband services. Connexions by Boeing (CBB) [11] began operating broadband links to aircraft in 2002 and is now pursuing the maritime operators market.…”

Aperture Selection for ACO-OFDM in Free-Space Optical Turbulence Channel

“…They also offer a design alternative for the extremely challenginga ircraft-to-aircraft and aircraftto-satellite vehicular communications scenarios [5]- [7], with the goal of providing sophisticate wireless multimedia service, and Internet access above the clouds [8]. Whilst at the time of writing, most of the solutions considered in the literature rely on radio communications with satellites [9]- [16], we believe that FSO solution may also be developed for this emerging vehicular communications scenario.…”
