Improvement of L-DACS1 design by combining B-AMC with P34 and WiMAX technologies

All currently pursued Air Traffic Management (ATM) concepts and associated roadmaps, i.e. Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) in Europe and Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) in the USA, heavily rely upon trajectory exchange between airborne and ground automated systems. Facilitating such exchanges requires high performance Air-Ground (A/G) data link communications. The decision about what technology the future data link shall be based upon has not yet been taken, but it is obvious, that the selected data link technology must be globally accepted and standardized.
