Abstract
An enhanced L-band Digital Aeronautical Communications System (LDACS) may include LDACS ground stations, and a LDACS airborne stations configured to communicate with the LDACS ground stations. The enhanced LDACS may also include a network controller configured to operate the LDACS ground stations and LDACS airborne stations at different transmission powers to define an LDACS underlay network and an LDACS overlay network. The LDACS underlay network may have a larger cell size than the LDACS overlay network. Portions of the LDACS underlay network may be installed prior in time to portions of the LDACS overlay network.
