Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If aircraft mobility data is transmitted from ADS-B server to UE through NR network, then mobile broadband access and integration with wireless standards is improved, but existing systems lack efficient transmission methods
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an Aircraft Surveillance Function (ASF) as an intermediary component that bridges the ADS-B server and the NR network. The ASF receives aircraft mobility data from the ADS-B server, processes it, and transmits it to UEs through the NR network. This intermediary structure enables integration between the ADS-B system and NR network while maintaining efficient data transmission through standardized interfaces and protocols.
2Reliability
If aircraft number mapping to NR identifier is implemented, then data accuracy and reliability is improved, but additional processing steps are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a mapping mechanism that pre-establishes correspondences between aircraft numbers (from ADS-B) and NR identifiers (for NR network). The ASF maintains and utilizes this mapping table to reliably associate aircraft identity information across different systems. This preliminary action ensures data reliability by preventing mismatches or errors in aircraft identification during transmission.

AI summary
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an aircraft surveillance function (ASF) in a New Radio (NR) network may transmit, to an automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) server, a request for aircraft mobility data, wherein the aircraft mobility data is associated with an aircraft configured to communicate with a user equipment (UE). The ASF may receive, from the ADS-B server and based at least in part on the request, the aircraft mobility data, wherein the aircraft mobility data indicates an aircraft number associated with the aircraft. The ASF may transmit, to the UE, the aircraft mobility data, wherein the aircraft mobility data indicates an aircraft NR identifier, and wherein the aircraft NR identifier is based at least in part on a mapping between the aircraft number and the aircraft NR identifier. Numerous other aspects are described.
