Motivation
The only way to expand capacity at the airports and avoid this global bottleneck
is technology, and not concrete.
100
Trend: Airports are getting slot-limited
If next generation aviation industry simply increases the capacity
of the sky and of the flow to and from and on the airport, the
airport itself becomes the bottleneck throughout the civil aviation
industry.
Airports are slot-limited in the west.

Main Part of the Technology Solution is
AeroMACS
 Aeronautical Mobile Airport
Communications System
 5091 MHz - 5150 MHz ITU

Regulated Spectrum
 ICAO with early

implementations in
Europe, China, Japan and
the U.S. selected
AeroMACS for the
provision of dedicated
aeronautical
communication services
for safety and regularity of
flight on the airport surface
globally.

Advantages and Disadvantages
AeroMACS vs. Legacy Systems

 The most commonly used technology is
ACARS using VHF, HF, or VDL Mode 2 links.
It provides robust, reliable, and secure
connections, but is limited to 31.5 kbps!!
 To address ACARS’s limitations, airports and
airlines use cellular and Wi-Fi networks and
Gatelink (which is based on Wi-Fi, with the
potential to combine cellular networks).
 These newer technologies provide the
capacity that ACARS lacks. However, control
over performance, security and reliability is
much lower, making these technologies
unsuitable for many applications.
 In cellular networks, access is contended
(i.e., an airport and airlines compete with
passengers and visitors for network access).
In Wi-Fi networks, the airport authority may
own the infrastructure, but it does not have
exclusive control of the spectrum (i.e.,
competing networks may contend for Source: Senza Fili Consulting
spectrum access).

19
Are there alternatives to AeroMACS for
aviation?
 For AOC and/or airport authority communications: Various

commercial systems (proprietary, etc.)
 For ATC: VDL2 (with the caveat of potential performance issues)

 EASA data link report recommends consideration of AeroMACS
 For ATM, AOC and airport authority communications all together: no

other option is currently standardised or globally agreed
 What about LTE?

 Question (is there a case to revert to LTE?) raised in the past
 SJU COM study (2010/2011) confirmed choice of AeroMACS
 Aviation cycles are very different from commercial telcom
 By the time we could reach with LTE the same maturity/concensus as with
AeroMACS, new 5G and maybe 6G options would be available to consider
beyond LTE.

AeroMACS
• Aeronautical Mobile Airport Communications System
• At the World Radiocommunication Conference in 2007 (WRC-07), the

International Telecommunication Union (ITU) added an Aeronautical Mobile
(Route) Service (AM(R)S)frequency allocation for the 5091-5150 MHz band on
an international basis.
• This worldwide frequency allocation is provided for airport surface

communications dealing with safety and regularity of flight, and the AeroMACS
networks are being considered for this purpose.
• AeroMACS networks are intended to support Air Traffic Services (ATS), Airline
Operations Control (AOC) and Airport Communications Services. AeroMACS is
envisioned for use by mobile and fixed users on the airport surface.

Calibration Results

K3D Propagation Model
• The K3D model considers propagation in 3D and
uses fractional morphology
• The model predicts outdoor and indoor coverage

Measurement x Predictions
• Prediction model used was: Korowajczuk 3D

CellSpectrum
• CelPlan developed CellSpectrum that characterizes the RF
channel in 3D
• An entire OFDM frame can be analyzed on a symbol basis

Multipath fading
• Multipath is a major impairment in wireless
communications and should be properly characterized
• MIMO characterization can be done
• Characterization can be done using:
– Channel response per OFDM sub-carrier
– Ray Tracing

Conclusions
• AeroMACS network design is a complex task and
requires the analysis of several scenarios
• Research should be done to dimension user
requirements at different airport sizes and
locations
• RF propagation characterization should be done,
a propagation model chosen and propagation
parameters calibrated
• Preliminary network designs should be perform
for different scenarios and capacities

AWG PKI Task Group

AeroMACS PKI Project
• AWG PKI Task Group was formed and has
worked to define an agreed upon Single
Root of Trust Anchor program
• The Task Group is developing AeroMACS
PKI Certificate Policies and Profiles
• AeroMACS Root CA Infrastructure
Provider(s) will be determined by the Policy
Authority
• AeroMACS PKI Proof of Concept Test Bed
underway

ICAO’s Role in AeroMACS PKI
• Certificate Policy Considerations were presented
to ICAO WG-S & WG-I for inclusion in the IPS the
Technical Manual
• ICAO and the WiMAX Forum are working to
define roles and responsibilities to establish ICAO
as the AeroMACS PKI Policy Authority for the
Aero MACS PKI Program to be administered by
the WiMAX Forum
• Both organizations will work together to deploy
the Root CA infrastructure and CA entities

Operational and Policy
Considerations
• Policy best practices: ICAO & WiMAX Forum authority to
set policies for each member’s:
 Pre-issuance identity vetting policies,
 private-key protection policies,
 CA and directory infrastructure operational policies, etc.
• A single CP and an agreed upon CPS that a small set of
trusted third party providers each create is the best way to
ensure the security fabric is trustworthy and the ecosystem
functions correctly and efficiently.
• PKI Task Group is working to establish initial and continuing
audit policies and practices

http://members.wimaxforum.org/apps/org/workgroup/cwg/document.ph
p?document_id=64447

New - WiMAX Forum
• Goal is to certify global interoperability for AeroMACS
equipment against specific applications and
requirements
• AeroMACS Certification encompasses:
• Radio Conformance Testing - 43 Tests
• Protocol Conformance Testing - 326 Tests
• Interoperability Conformance Testing - 157 Tests
All based on the requirements of the AeroMACS CRSL profile in
compliance with MOPS and SARPS.
• AeroMACS Certification will be a requirement of key

international aviation authorities

AeroMACS Certification Plan:
• AeroMACS Certification will initially occur in two phases.
• Wave 1 – RCT Certification available November 2015 in
the WiMAX Forum AeroMACS Designated Certification
Laboratory (ADCL).
• Wave 2 - PCT, IOT, Security and Network testing the
ADCL occurring in 2nd half 2016.
• Initial “Multivendor Interoperability Demonstration Event”

to take place on September 7-11, 2015.
• The AWG Certification Task Group has developed
scenarios and use cases for IOT that will be tested in an
event setting for companies to demonstrate interoperability
to these agreed upon use cases.
• Hitachi, Siemens, Selex, Telrad and Gemtek will participate

AeroMACS Certification Plan – cont.
• AeroMACS Certification Wave 1 – This will take place
in the accredited AeroMACS Designated Certification
Laboratory (ADCL) and focus on RCT. Target is for the
ADCL to “Open for Business” November 1. With a
window for Wave 1 to complete by the end of the year
and result in a press release and marketing collateral.
• AeroMACS Certification Wave 2 – This will take place

at the same (ADCL) and cover the remaining
requirements of the profile including PCT, IOT, Security
and Network aspects.
• Full AeroMACS Certification will be available to all

WiMAX Forum Members as one profile beyond the Wave
2 rollout
AeroMACS Certification:
New Test Lab
• All AeroMACS test performed by North American Test Lab
• Radio Conformance Testing - Tests TBD based on MOPS &
SARPS
• Manual & IOT tests need to be developed
• Protocol Conformance Testing – 326 Tests based on MOPS
& SARPS
• Lab Testing Required
• Interoperability Conformance Testing - 157 Tests based on
MOPS & SARPS
• One stop shop is more appealing to Aviation Industry
• Ongoing accreditation required
• ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation
• WiMAX Forum Designated Certification Laboratory (WFDCL) Accreditation
• WiMAX Certification Body (WCB)
Proposed Certification Plan
• Early 2015 - “First Release” of AeroMACS
Certification based on a set of application
scenarios and use cases
• Achieved by IOT Testing performed at a Certification
Testing Event with multiple vendors participating
• Next phase of AeroMACS certification would
then need to include RCT and PCT
• Manual Tests to be developed to replace automated
tests
• RCT and PCT by accredited WFDCL
• Goal is not repeat previous IOT
• Resulting in full AeroMACS Certification

Calibration Results

K3D Propagation Model
• The K3D model considers propagation in 3D and
uses fractional morphology
• The model predicts outdoor and indoor coverage

Measurement x Predictions
• Prediction model used was: Korowajczuk 3D

CellSpectrum
• CelPlan developed CellSpectrum that characterizes the RF
channel in 3D
• An entire OFDM frame can be analyzed on a symbol basis

Multipath fading
• Multipath is a major impairment in wireless
communications and should be properly characterized
• MIMO characterization can be done
• Characterization can be done using:
– Channel response per OFDM sub-carrier
– Ray Tracing

Conclusions
• AeroMACS network design is a complex task and
requires the analysis of several scenarios
• Research should be done to dimension user
requirements at different airport sizes and
locations
• RF propagation characterization should be done,
a propagation model chosen and propagation
parameters calibrated
• Preliminary network designs should be perform
for different scenarios and capacities
