Abstract
An Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) device may include a controller and a radio frequency (RF) transmitter coupled thereto and configured to transmit flight identification data, and transmit flight position data at a coarse accuracy and a fine accuracy. The RF transmitter may be configured to operate at a frequency within the L-band Digital Aeronautical Communications System (LDACS) frequency band. For example, the controller may be configured to encapsulate the flight identification data and flight position data within a message for an LDACS.
