考虑到2015年航空公司为超过33亿乘客提供服务，飞行中宽带连接（IFBC）是移动的网络运营商的一个重要开放市场。车载宽带服务通过直接A2 G通信（DA 2GC）和卫星A2 G通信（SA 2GC）通过空对地（A2 G）连接提供。可用的板载连接系统具有显著的局限性：SA 2GC中的高延迟和DA 2GC中的低容量。客户期望每个座位都有多Mb/s的连接，这导致对飞机的容量要求为Gb/s。高容量IFBC的创建需要不同行业合作伙伴之间的协作互动。因此，我们从经济和技术角度研究A2 G架构，并通过确定新的角色并将其定位于A2 G商业生态系统中来提出商业模式。此外，我们还对A2 G通信的最新技术和未来改进进行了广泛的总结。
In-Flight Broadband Connectivity (IFBC) is a significant open market for mobile network operators, considering that more than 3.3 billion passengers were served by airlines in 2015. On-board broadband services are provided via air-to-ground (A2G) connectivity through direct A2G communication (DA2GC) and satellite A2G communication (SA2GC). Available on-board connectivity systems have significant limitations: high latency in SA2GC and low capacity in DA2GC. The customer expectancy is multi-Mb/s connections in every seat, which leads to capacity requirements of Gb/s to the aircraft. Creation of high capacity IFBC requires a collaborative interaction between different industry partners. For this reason, we investigate A2G architectures in terms of economic and technical perspectives, and propose business models by identifying new roles and positioning them in the A2G business ecosystem. In addition, we provide an extensive summary of the state-of-the-art and future improvements for A2G communications.
