The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering the use of the 5091-5150 MHz band for a future Airport Network and Location Equipment (ANLE) system. ANLE is visualized as a high-data-rate airport-surface wireless network, with terminals on the ground and on taxiing aircraft. In this analysis, The MITRE Corporation's Center for Advanced Aviation System Development (CAASD) has updated the potential classes of sensors and other fixed and mobile applications that may participate in such networks. We have also determined approximate upper bounds on the aggregate data rates for these potential applications for two implemeation phases: Phase 1 (2020) and Phase 2 (beyond 2020). We have also estimated approximate upper bounds on spectral requirements needed to support these potential applications. These upper bounds will provide a basis for estimating the total amount of radio spectrum that may be needed by an operational ANLE system.
