Page 9ETS 300 752: September 19971ScopeThis European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) deals with the procedures allowing the technicalrealization of packet mode data with the Terrestrial Flight Telecommunications System (TFTS)environment using transparent network support according to the teleservice definitions contained inETS 300 326-1 [1].The TFTS packet data transmission services build on the existing architecture defined in ETS 300 326 [1], [2]and [3] introducing a new network function termed the Centralised Interworking Function (CIF). The selectionof a networking protocol, and its definition is outside the scope of this ETS. The use of a particularprotocol does not constrain the actual implementation of CIF functionality.Transport layer aspectsIn order to ensure the resolution of lost or duplicated packets arising from handover, it is assumed that thehigher layers implement an end to end acknowledgement function.2Normative referencesThis ETS incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listedhereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publicationsapply to this ETS only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

Page 12ETS 300 752: September 19975Network architectureThe TFTS packet data transmission services builds on the existing architecture defined in ETS 300 326 [1],[2] and [3] introducing a new network function termed the Centralised Interworking Function (CIF). Thisfunction provides the interworking between the transport mode used between the Avionic Termination (AT)and the Ground Station System (GSS), and that used in the public data network. The interface between theAT and the GSS for the TFTS packet data transmission is defined in clause 7 of this ETS. The interfacebetween the GSS and the CIF is defined in clause 9 of this ETS. The interface between the CIF and thepublic network is not defined in this ETS but is assumed to be compliant with international standards for dataservices and in particular for packet data, e.g. ITU-T Recommendation X.25 [4]. Similarly, the interfacebetween the AT and the aircraft Terminal Equipment (TE) is not defined in this ETS, but is assumed to becompliant with international standards for data services and in particular for packet data, e.g. ITU-TRecommendation X.25 [4] or ARINC Characteristic 746-4 [6].This ETS defines the basic packet transport mechanism required to transport packets from the AT to theGSS and the reverse. It does not address the way in which the end-to-end packet service operates.Figure 1: Packet mode architectureFigure 1 shows the architecture of the system showing the Ua interface defined in ETS 300 326-2 [2],subclause 6.2 figure 5 and a new interface 1d between the GSS and CIF.5.1Support of multiple network layer protocolsThe TFTS packet mode service provides for the transparent transfer of arbitrary binary data betweenonboard avionics equipment and the ground user. The TFTS packet mode service provides no constraintson network protocol used. Typical examples of protocols that may be used are ITU-T RecommendationX.25 [4] and Internet Architecture Board RFC 791 [9] and RFC 793 [10].The interworking between the ground user and the TFTS network is carried out by the CIF. The first octetof the data field defined in subclause 7.9.1 shall be an Initial Protocol Identifier (IPI). IPIs can conform toISO 9577 [7], in which case the message shall conform to subclause 7.9.1.3; or be defined within TFTS, inwhich

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) deals with the procedures allowing the technical
realization of packet mode data with the Terrestrial Flight Telecommunications System (TFTS)
environment using transparent network support according to the teleservice definitions contained in
ETS 300 326-1 [1].
The TFTS packet data transmission services build on the existing architecture defined in ETS 300 326 [1], [2]
and [3] introducing a new network function termed the Centralised Interworking Function (CIF). The selection
of a networking protocol, and its definition is outside the scope of this ETS. The use of a particular
protocol does not constrain the actual implementation of CIF functionality.
Transport layer aspects
In order to ensure the resolution of lost or duplicated packets arising from handover, it is assumed that the
higher layers implement an end to end acknowledgement function.
2 Normative references
This ETS incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed
hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications
apply to this ETS only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest
edition of the publication referred to applies.

3 Abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the following definitions apply:
Ba channel: A channel which carries either:
- a 9,6 kbit/s bit stream with an error structure and transmission delay suitable to carry voice
encoded information; or
- a bit stream at a gross rate of 9,6 kbit/s with an error structure and transmission delay
adapted to a wider range of services.
La channel: A channel with a gross data rate of 2,4 kbit/s.
Ma channel: A channel with a gross data rate of 4,8 kbit/s.
PACKET DATA TRANSFER: The mechanism of transporting messages between the avionic termination
and the ground station system.
Ua interface: The interface between the Avionic Termination (AT) and the Ground Station System (GSS)
(ETS 300 326-2 [2]).

4 Service definition
This ETS specifies support for the following data types:
- packet transport on the TFTS radio interface.
The TFTS packet data transmission service allows an aircraft application to send and receive data in an
end-to-end, point-to-point, connection-oriented mode.
4.1 Packet mode services
The types of packet mode services supported by the TFTS packet transport service may include the
following:
- status update information;
- file transfer;
- information update;
- interactive services.
Annex A provides further information.

5 Network architecture
The TFTS packet data transmission services builds on the existing architecture defined in ETS 300 326 [1],
[2] and [3] introducing a new network function termed the Centralised Interworking Function (CIF). This
function provides the interworking between the transport mode used between the Avionic Termination (AT)
and the Ground Station System (GSS), and that used in the public data network. The interface between the
AT and the GSS for the TFTS packet data transmission is defined in clause
