The TFTS aircraft station is one of a set of facilities withinan overall architecture being defined for aircraft on-board telecommunications by the AEEC.There are supplementary specifications defining the provision of functions or services outside the scope ofthis specification.SIST ETS 300 326-1:1999

Page 7ETS 300 326-1: August 19981ScopeThis European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) specifies the minimum technical requirements of theservices, facilities and functions that the Terrestrial Flight Telecommunication System (TFTS) supports toprovide a pan-European terrestrial aeronautical public correspondence service.This ETS contains the specification of equipment for the provision of a terrestrial aeronautical publiccorrespondence service working in the frequency spectrum bands allocated at World Administrative RadioConference 1992 (WARC 92) (1 670 to 1 675 MHz and 1 800 to 1 805 MHz).This ETS fully specifies aspects of the radio interface and Terrestrial Flight Telecommunication System(TFTS) ground network required to maintain inter-operability of equipment. ERC DecisionERC/DEC/(92)01 [1] is applicable to the TFTS frequency spectrum within Europe.This ETS includes a general description of the TFTS which is of informative nature.The specification of data application and facsimile is the subject of ES 200 794 [12].The delivery mechanism for Packet Data Services is defined in ETS 300 752 [11].The commercial aspects of service definition are outside the scope of this ETS except where it isnecessary for this information to be considered due to its impact on technical specification matters.The scope of this part of the ETS has been confined to the set of services to be provided by the phase 1standard. An informative subclause 5.4 has been included describing the service definitions that maysubsequently be specified for uplink calling, facsimile, data services and low rate speech services.2Normative referencesThis ETS incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.

The basic TFTS architecture is describedtogether with a brief explanation of the various functional entities of the system. When appropriate,reference is made to other parts of this ETS where more detailed descriptions of functional entities areprovided. Reference has also been made to possible connections to external systems which are beyondthe scope of this ETS. These references are not intended to imply any technical or commercialimplementation for the service provided by TFTS.4.1Purpose of the TFTSThe TFTS provides a radio communication link between aircraft and ground stations which have access topublic fixed telecommunications networks. This enables aircraft passengers or users to access publictelecommunications services from the air. The principal services supported by the TFTS are as follows:a)telephony;b)facsimile group 3;c)paging services;d)data services.The services provided by TFTS are primarily aimed at commercial airliners but this does not preclude useof the system by smaller commercial regional aircraft operators or the general aviation sector.4.2Service coverageThe radio system of the TFTS is similar in nature to the cellular systems of the land mobile service. Thereare some important differences, especially the cell radii (typically 240 km) and the height coverage (inexcess of 43 000 feet). The mobiles of the service are aircraft in flight or on the ground in the starting orfinishing phases of flight.Three cell types are specified:en-route: providing a large area coverage at altitude;intermediate: providing coverage at lower altitude where required, especially in the vicinity of airports; andairport stations: for use on or immediately above the ground.SIST ETS 300 326-1:1999

Page 11ETS 300 326-1: August 1998Figure 2: TFTS block diagram4.3.1Aircraft Station (AS)The AS consists of three main entities:Avionics Termination (AT): provides the radio, control and telecommunications functions necessary forthe TFTS;Aircraft Telecommunications Equipment (ATE): provides on board switching and other functions forthe aircraft telecommunication facilities. Many of these on-board facilities would be realized in the CabinTelecommunications Unit (CTU) defined in ARINC Characteristic 746 [3]. ARINC are also defining thecharacteristics of a Cabin Distribution System (CDS); andCabin System (CS): provides telecommunication facilities to the passenger.The ATE and the CS may be realized in several ways with a variety of facilities. The specification of theseentities is outside the scope of this ETS. The ATE and CS may also support satellite and other terrestrialtelecommunication services. Aviation aspects of the AT, ATE and CS have been characterized by theEAEC and the AEEC. Aspects of the AT are published in ARINC Characteristic 752 [2]. Aspects of theATE are published in ARINC Characteristic 746 [3].SIST ETS 300 326-1:1999



Page 12ETS 300 326-1: August 19984.3.2Ground Station (GS)The GS provides the radio communication, line transmission and some limited control functions necessaryfor supporting simultaneous radio communication with several aircraft using the TFTS. The different typesof ground station are analogous to the cell types of the TFTS which are described in subclause 4.2.4.3.3Ground Switching Centre (GSC)The GSC provides the switching, control and fixed network access functions for the TFTS. Sometransmission control functions such as echo control may also be provided at a GSC. In addition, the GSCmay provide interfaces to other external systems required to provide a commercial public aeronauticalcorrespondence service (e.g. billing system, network management system).NOTE:A combination of GSs and an associated GSC is referred to as a Ground StationSystem (GSS).4.3.4Radio interfaceThe TFTS radio interface is described in ETS 300 326-2 [5]. The access types employed are TimeDivision Multiplex (TDM)/Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) providing an aircraft capacity of four voicechannels per radio carrier when using standard rate speech coding. The carrier may also be configured toprovide several data services and a group 3 facsimile service. A lower rate speech service may also besupported when suitable voice coding devices are available.4.3.5Fixed network interfaceThe TFTS fixed network interface is characterized in terms of the services and facilities that would berequired for the TFTS to fully, and correctly, inter-work with the fixed network. Detailed networkinterworking specifications are not provided within this ETS as it is recognized that network and signallingvariations exist in each country's fixed network(s).4.3.6Interfaces with other systemsThe TFTS may interface to one or more administrative and network management systems. The realizationof these systems is outside the scope of this ETS and is a matter for the operators and users of the TFTS.5TFTS telecommunication servicesThe telecommunication services supported by TFTS are described in the general framework of bearerservices, teleservices and supplementary services. These descriptions are characterized by attributesdefining particular aspects of the service to be provided.5.1TFTS bearer servicesBearer services are characterized by attributes including information transfer mode, information transferrate, information transfer capability and structure.The TFTS provides a bearer capability between the ATE side of the AT and the termination of the TFTS atthe fixed network interface.The TFTS shall support both circuit switched and packet switched bearer services.5.1.1Speech bearer serviceThe TFTS shall support a speech 9,6 kbits/s bearer service and the attributes shall be as specified intable 1.SIST ETS 300 326-1:1999
