Addresses the Challenges of Modern-Day Air Traffic
Air traffic control (ATC) directs aircraft in the sky and on the ground to safety, while the Aeronautical Telecommunications Network (ATN) comprises all systems and phases that assist in aircraft departure and landing. The Aeronautical Telecommunications Network: Advances, Challenges, and Modeling focuses on the development of ATN and examines the role of the various systems that link aircraft with the ground. The book places special emphasis on ATC—introducing the modern ATC system from the perspective of the user and the developer—and provides a thorough understanding of the operating mechanism of the ATC system. It discusses the evolution of ATC, explaining its structure and how it works; includes design examples; and describes all subsystems of the ATC system.
In addition, the book covers relevant tools, techniques, protocols, and architectures in ATN, including MIPv6, air traffic control (ATC), security of air traffic management (ATM), very-high-frequency (VHF) digital link (VDL), aeronautical radio and satellite communications, electromagnetic interference to aeronautical telecommunications, quality of service (QoS)-satisfied ATN routing mechanism speed dynamic environments, and service-oriented architecture (SOA)-based ATN transmission control algorithm. It also incorporates published research and technical reports to illustrate existing problems, highlight current methods and opportunities, and consider future directions and trends.
The authors:
- Provide an overview of ATN
- Illustrate the composition of the ATC system
- Explain how to design an ATC system
- Reveal how to use an ATC system to control in-flight airplanes
- Present the results of author research on spatial mitigation
- Introduce the electromagnetic interference effects and response measures of aviation communications equipment
- Analyze the protective measures of aircraft and ground stations against electromagnetic interference
The Aeronautical Telecommunications Network: Advances, Challenges, and Modeling highlights the advances, challenges, and modeling of ATN, and implements strategies for integrating existing and future data communications networks into a single internetwork serving the aeronautical industry. This book can aid readers in working to ensure the effective management of air traffic and airspace, and the safety of air transport.
"I think that the book is relevant in terms of its contents, treatment of the topics discussed and scope thereof. … I believe that the book will be a great contribution to the need for information on the development of ATN network for designers and engineers developers such networks worldwide."

"This book gives an overview of the aeronautical telecommunications network. It provides a good introduction to the reader of the current state of ATNs, the challenges faced in using them in modern times, and the recently proposed advancements in ATN architecture to overcome such challenges. The book does a good job of explaining the basics; anyone with minimal previous knowledge of communication techniques can read the book to understand the state of the art and future direction of ATNs."

"Aeronautical telecommunications networks (ATN) are part of a field that is undergoing rapid change with many new technologies being introduced and challenges such as drones to be handled. This book is aimed at readers who want to get a detailed overview of ATC systems and the networks that power them, whether they are looking to become developers, designers, or users in this area.
Besides a multitude of data provided in many tables and diagrams, most chapters include a part on modeling, which not only provides the recurrent theme in this book but some genuinely new insights on the discussed technologies such as VDL2.
With its meticulous compilation of relevant aviation standards as well as ‘ordinary’ networking and internet standards, and a solid integration into the historical context of aviation, the book can serve as a first point of reference to the reader."
