Introduction
Unmanned aircrafts (UAs) operating at low altitude will provide a variety of commercial services in
the near future. UAs that provide these services are distributed in the airspace. In level II, many people
operate their own UAs without the assignment of communication channels from a central control
centre.
This document describes shared communication, which is a wireless distributed communication.
Shared communication allows all units related with UAs to communicate with UAs when necessary.
Shared communication can support communication between UAs, UAs and controllers, UAs and
ground equipment, UAs and landing devices, and UAs and obstacle devices. A wireless distributed
communication described by this document is intended to be used in licensed frequency bands.
The ISO/IEC 4005 series consists of the following four parts:
— ISO/IEC 4005-1: To support various services for UAs, it describes a wireless distributed
communication model and the requirements that this model shall satisfy.
— ISO/IEC 4005-2 (this document): It describes communication in which all units involved in UA
operations can broadcast or exchange information by sharing communication resources with each
other.
— ISO/IEC 4005-3: It describes the control communication for the controller to control the UA.
— ISO/IEC 4005-4: It describes video communication for UAs to send video to a controller.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) draw attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance with this document may
involve the use of patents.
ISO and IEC take no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of these patent rights.
The holders of these patent rights have assured ISO and IEC that they are willing to negotiate licences
under reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the world.
In this respect, the statements of the holders of these patent rights are registered with ISO and IEC.
Information may be obtained from the patent database available at www.iso.org/patents.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights other than those in the patent database. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for
identifying any or all such patent rights.

5.1.2 Tone channel
5.1.2.1 Frame structure
5.1.2.1.1 General
There are two types of tone channels. One is a competition tone channel and the other is an
information tone channel. The competition tone channel is used for resource allocation, occupation,
and management operations. Information tone channels are used to convey simple information. In this
document, the frame structure for the information tone channel is described, but whether and how to
use the information tone channel is determined by the upper layer.
5.1.2.1.2 Information tone channel frame structure
The frame length of information tone channel is 1 sec and the number of slots per frame is 500. One slot
is divided into 33 subslots, and the length T of a subslot is 60 μs as shown in Figure 3. The information
ss
given to each subslot is determined by the upper layer. SS means the x-th subslot (see Annex G).

The modulation scheme of subslot signal is on-off keying. The subslot transmission signal is transmitted
in the 40 μs interval from T to T in Figure 5. The waveform of the subslot transmission signal uses a

The encoding follows the following procedure as shown in Figure 6. CRC encoding, turbo coding, rate
matching, interleaving, modulation mapping, burst mapping, and pulse mapping are performed in this
order.

5.2.2 Turbo encoding
The turbo encoder consists of Parallel Concatenated Convolutional Code (PCCC) with two 8-state
constituent encoders and one turbo coded internal interleaver. The coding rate of the turbo encoder is
1/3. The structure of the turbo encoder is shown in Figure 7. The PCCC transfer function is as follows:
G(D) = [1, g (D)/g (D)] (5)
1 0

where g (D) = 1+D +D , g (D) = 1+D+D .

ISO/IEC 4005-2:2023(E)
When the input bits of the turbo encoder are encoded, the initial values of the shift registers of the
8-state constituent encoder shall all be zero.
For k = 0, 1, 2, …, K-1, the output value of the turbo encoder is expressed as follows:
c = x
3k k
c = z
3k+1 k
c = z’ (6)
3k+2 k
Output bits of the first and second 8-state constituent encoders for turbo encoder input bits b , b , b ,

code internal interleaver that is described in Annex A are represented by b’ , b’ , b’ , b’ , …, b’ and
0 1 2 3 B-1
these output bits are used as inputs for the second 8-state constituent encoder. The turbo code internal
interleaver shall use Table A.1 in Annex A.
Trellis termination is performed by taking tail bits from shift register feedback after all information
bits have been encoded. The generated tail bits are added after encoding of the information bits.
The first three tail bits are used for the first constituent encoder termination and not the second
constituent encoder. The remaining three tail bits are used for the termination of the second constituent
encoder and not the first constituent encoder.
The bits transmitted for trellis termination are determined as follows:
c = x , c = z , c = x’ , c = z’

c = z , c = x , c = z’ , c = x’
