Feasibility of the Frequency Planning for LDACS Air-to-Air Communications in the L-band
The 960-1215 MHz frequency range in the L-band is allocated worldwide on a primary basis to the aeronautical radio navigation service (ARNS). At the World Radio Conference 2007, the frequency range 960-1164 MHz within the L-band was additionally allocated to the aeronautical mobile (route) service (...

At the World Radio Conference 2007, the frequency range 960-1164 MHz within the L-band was additionally allocated to the aeronautical mobile (route) service (AM(R)S) on a co-primary basis to allow future communication systems to share large parts of the L-band with the existing radio navigation services.

The 960-1215 MHz frequency range in the L-band is allocated worldwide on a primary basis to the aeronautical radio navigation service (ARNS). At the World Radio Conference 2007, the frequency range 960-1164 MHz within the L-band was additionally allocated to the aeronautical mobile (route) service (AM(R)S) on a co-primary basis to allow future communication systems to share large parts of the L-band with the existing radio navigation services. The L-band digital aeronautical communications system (LDACS) will operate its air-ground (A/G) and air-to-air (A2A) data links under AM(R)S allocation in the L-band ensuring spectrum sharing without mutual harmful interference. In this paper, we propose a frequency planning methodology for the LDACS A2A data link yielding no harmful interference towards the legacy systems operating in the L-band. We also assess the feasibility of the LDACS A2A frequency planning in the north-east coast of North America, the North Atlantic Corridor, and western Europe.
