ITT Exelis has built and operates the Surveillance Broadcast Services (SBS) system to provide the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with Automatic Dependent SurveillanceBroadcast (ADS-B) target data in the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS). The system requirements for significant coverage at low altitudes demands a dense laydown of radio stations such that at moderate and high altitudes there is an abundance of overlapping coverage from multiple radio stations. While such redundancy is generally a good attribute, the future expected growth in ADS-B equipage will place a large burden on the SBS network and servers because of that redundancy. In order to proactively mitigate that traffic growth, the SBS is designed with a number of traffic management features to control the amount of redundant reports from multiple radio stations. This paper summarizes a study that projects the impact of the growth in ADS-B equipped traffic on the SBS system, and evaluates the effectiveness and adequacy of existing and new candidate network traffic management features under consideration in the SBS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
