Abstract

In order to achieve an efficient usage on a limited spectrum for aeronautical machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, in this paper, a space division multiple access- (SDMA-) based architecture is proposed, where the random access of short messages noisy (SMN) M2M communications is considered between autopilot systems onboard and the ground control center for the air traffic precise control, that is, full 4-dimensional trajectory management. It shows that using a zero-forcing beamforming combined with a low complexity aircraft grouping strategy, the SDMA-based mechanism is able to improve the spectrum efficiency under signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) constraints.
