Satellites systems are a promising solution to cope with the capacity limitations of current air traffic control (ATC) systems. It is necessary to evaluate and assess existing and upcoming satellite systems taking into account air traffic management (ATM) requirements. This paper reviews a representative set of satellite communications (SatCom) systems and presents a competitive analysis based on objective criteria, to assess their suitability to support aeronautical services. Key drivers that should be considered for future systems design are identified and discussed. These key drivers are finally grouped to fulfil three complementary objectives that may not be possible to achieve through a single solution: improve service area, provide additional capability and capacity to existing terrestrial systems in high density airspace and to provide new services to passengers and airlines.

Air traffic forecast projects an important increase of aeronautical communications at the 2020 timeframe. The actual communication infrastructure which supports ATM (Air Traffic Management) cannot deal with this evolution of data volume exchanged in dense areas. The SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) European project has started to prepare the Future Communication Infrastructure (FCI), with aviation stakeholders. To feed the investigations on the Future Communication Infrastructure, a joint study between ESA (European Space Agency) and CNES has been performed to prove that satellite communications system can be a good candidate to participate in the FCI. Technical and economical viability have been studied during this activity.

The European Union is moving towards implementation of the Single European Sky policy, which is supported by the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) Programme for implementing a new Air Traffic Management (ATM) administrative, operational and technical concept. In coordination with the European Commission, EUROCONTROL, Air Navigation Service Providers and the SESAR consortium, “Iris” is the European Space Agency's initiative on the use of a satellite system for ATM air/ground communications. The Iris Programme aims to develop satellite communications for exchanges between aircraft and flight control centres, complementing existing and future systems in support of the growth in worldwide air traffic operations. This paper presents ESA's rationale for initiating a new programme line dedicated to ATM communications under the umbrella of the Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES) programme, its objectives, and the workplan of activities of the Phase 1 of the Iris Programme.

The Communications Operating Concepts and Requirements (COCR) for Future Radio Systems (FRS) [EUROCONTROL/FAA, Technical report, May 2007] is a document produced jointly by Eurocontrol (the European organization for the safety of air navigation) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as a roadmap document for future development of Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems. Among others it provides a method to estimate the communication link capacity requirement for future ATM services. Nevertheless, the COCR document is written as a general guideline, without taking into account any technological implementation. In this work we present a methodology to estimate the capacity in terms of communication bit rate requirements for ATM services in a constellation of geostationary (GEO) satellites with spot beams. The complete approach is illustrated using concrete scenario elements and assumptions as well as numerical parameter values along the whole process. The bit rate requirement per spot beam is determined using a similar approach to the one in the COCR, with some parameters adjusted to fit in a satellite system scenario. Furthermore, the criticality of one particular service message, the A-EXEC, is verified by comparing the required bit rate when it is excluded from the computation. A condition when this criticality applies is also determined. The result of this work may thus contribute to the assessment of appropriate technologies used for ATM in the Future Communications Study (FCS) framework [EUROCONTROL/FAA, Technical report].

For Ka-band satellite systems to compete successfully in the broadband marketplace, two fundamental challenges must be addressed: cost, and the quality and performance of the offered services/applications. Specific issues related to these challenges are discussed and a set of solutions is proposed. The solutions range from the development of common standards to specific techniques to mitigate the effect of rain fades in Ka-band frequencies and the propagation delay of the geosynchronous satellite. Finally, dynamic resource allocation and congestion control techniques are described which exploit the key characteristics of Ka-band satellite systems and maximize the availability of satellite capacity to user applications.

Processing payload systems are in development now and will soon be part of the satellite communications landscape. This paper shows that processing payload networks can revolutionize the VSAT market. VSAT service providers who recognize the tremendous potential of these systems will be able to offer a dramatically lower-priced solution to their customers while realizing even greater profits than were possible with transponder-based networks. The ability to provide full mesh connectivity, dynamic resource allocation, and statistical multiplexing of diverse traffic results in lower costs for existing VSAT networks and an easy migration path for these networks to expand their capacity, connectivity, and range of applications. The results demonstrate that processing payloads represent a superior solution for both today's VSAT networks and for the more sophisticated applications and network topologies inevitable in the future.
