Abstract

Scenario Dublin (EIDW) to London (EGLL) route British Airlines flights BAW827, BAW829, BAW833, BAW835, BAW837, BAW845 Aer Lingus flights EIN152, EIN154, EIN156, EIN158, EIN164, EIN166, EIN168, EIN172, EIN174, EIN178, EIN184 All flights from 29/11/2024 to 13/12/2024 (15 days) Real tracklogs extracted from FlightAware (ADS-B source) Simulation Setup ATG stations located at VDL-2 ground station sites (green circle markers with blue circle coverage) One HAP station over the Irish Sea (light blue hex marker with magenta circle coverage) LEO stations at orbit configuration: •Altitude = 550 km •Inclination = 53 degrees •Plane shift = 22 degrees •Longitude shifts = [-25:5:15] degrees LEO HAP ATG Carrier frequency 20 GHz 2 GHz 3.5 GHz Transmit power 45 dBW 16 dBW 16 dBW Antenna Phased array Phased array Phased array Max TX gain 5.9 dB 5.2 dB 5.2 dB Max RX gain 5.2 dB 5.2 dB 5.2 dB TX beamwidth 120° 180° 180° RX beamwidth 180° 180° 180° Noise power -143.97 dB -143.97 dB -143.97 dB User Manual Directory: run_ie_uk/EIDW_EGLL/[yyyymmdd]/[flight_id]/output_.mat •Example: run_ie_uk/EIDW_EGLL/20241129/BAW827/output_.mat File: output_.mat •out oout{1}: LEO control channel dataset oout{2}: LEO data channel dataset (not used) oout{3}: HAP channel dataset oout{4}: ATG channel dataset Data structure out{b} •snr: signal-to-noise ratio (linear) •delay: link delay (seconds) •rate: link data rate (bits per seconds) •per: link packet error rate (linear) •rxPower: receive power (watts) •txGain: transmit gain (linear) •rxGain: receive gain (linear) •pathloss: path propagation loss (linear) •atmLoss: atmospheric propagation loss (linear) •isLineOfSight: line-of-sight flag (Boolean) •distance: link distance (meters) •timestamp: simulation timestamp (seconds) •txPos_lla: base station position (latitude, longitude, altitude) •txPos_ecef: base station position (x,y,z meters) •rxPos_lla: aircraft position (latitude, longitude, altitude) •rxPos_ecef: aircraft position (x,y,z meters) Example: LEO id = 32 AC id = 1 Time id = 30 out{1}.distance(32,1,30) = 8922.4 km
