Agenda Item 2.2:Post-Implementation Analysis of Data Link Performance FollowingRelease 15 (R15) Ground Earth Station Software Upgrade SOCM/2 IP/nn Attachment A Bangkok, Thailand 8-10 February 2012
Contents • Summary of Release 15 GES Upgrade • Data Link Performance Analysis of CPDLC and ADS-C Technical Performance by GES • Before = 2 months prior to month in which upgrade occurred • After = 2 months after month in which upgrade occurred • Most recent = November/December 2011
Summary of Release 15 GES Upgrade • Release 15 (R15): Most recent system software upgrade for ground earth stations interfacing with Inmarsat Classic Aero I-3 satellites • Purpose of upgrade: • To improve GES data link delivery capability and aircraft log-on management subsystems • To enhance GES traffic handling and monitoring subsystems
Summary of Observed Performance Following R15 Upgrade • Eik GES: • Improvement in the ACTP was not observed immediately following the R15 upgrade, but the most recent data does show a noticeable improvement in performance for CPDLC transactions • ADS-C downlink latency performance is observed to have degraded in the period immediately following the upgrade as well as in the most recent period
Summary of Observed Performance Following R15 Upgrade • Santa Paula GES: • Improvement can be observed for both the ACTP for CPDLC transactions and ADS-C downlink latency performance for ADS-C downlink messages • Improvement shown to be stable between the period immediately following the upgrade and the most recent period of observation for both performance measures
Summary of Observed Performance Following R15 Upgrade • Aussaguel GES: • Improvement can be observed for both the ACTP for CPDLC transactions and ADS-C downlink latency performance for ADS-C downlink messages • Continued improvement shown between the period immediately following the upgrade and the most recent period of observation for both performance measures
Summary of Observed Performance Following R15 Upgrade • Perth GES: • Slight improvement can be observed for both the ACTP for CPDLC transactions and ADS-C downlink latency performance for ADS-C downlink messages • Continued improvement shown between the period immediately following the upgrade and the most recent period of observation for ACTP • Improvement shown to be stable between the period immediately following the upgrade and the most recent period of observation for the ADS-C downlink latency performance
Conclusions • Overall improvement in data link performance at GES level following R15 upgrade • Improvement most noticeable at the Santa Paula and Aussaguel GES • In general - upgrade appears to have had more of an impact on the ACTP than on the ADS-C downlink latency performance
