NETWORK CONNECTIONS BEYOND IEEE 802.11

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 18-21, 2004 / Town & Country Resort, San Diego, California / More and more aircraft system designs are incorporating a local-area-network (LAN) using
either Fibre Channel (FC) or Ethernet. To date there hasn’t been a means for creating a FC node
connection between an airborne network and a ground based FC network or for creating a reliable
high-speed Ethernet connection between air and ground. Ethernet connections have had some
success by using the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN for these types of connections; however, these
connections suffer from many inherent problems using this standard. Problems include the lack of
telemetry spectrum control, security validation, high-speed data transfer efficiency, and channel
acquisition time.
This paper will describe a methodology that utilizes the IRIG-106 PCM standard for
communicating between aircraft and ground-based networks. PCM can solve the aforementioned
problems and it enables the user to take advantage of the many ARTM advances in PCM telemetry
technology [1]. One such advance in technology has been the use of SOQPSK (Tier 1) or Multi-h
CPM (Tier 2) to enable the user to effectively double or more their bandwidth efficiency compared
to PCM/FM (or CPFSK) (Tier 0).
