International Classification:

G01S 19/42

US Classification:

342 21, 342354

Abstract:

One embodiment is directed to an aircraft position report system. The system comprises a satellite, an aircraft position reporting receiver mounted on the satellite, an antenna element mounted on the satellite, and an antenna interface mounted on the satellite. The aircraft position reporting receiver receives aircraft position reports through the antenna element by associating a spot beam with a narrow coverage area. The aircraft position reports are derived from a signal produced by the antenna element. The antenna interface changes the narrow coverage area associated with the spot beam to receive aircraft position reports from a wide coverage region within a reporting period. In one exemplary embodiment, the antenna interface mechanically steers the spot beam for each receiver to one of the narrow coverage areas. In another exemplary embodiment, the antenna interface electronically steers the spot beam for each receiver to one of the narrow coverage areas.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for global memory for a RapidIO network are provided. In one embodiment, a method for accessing global data on a RapidIO network comprises obtaining ownership of a global memory unit (GMU) and receiving a data write packet at a GMU endpoint on a RapidIO network. The data write packet includes a source network identifier and a dataset. The method further comprises verifying whether the source network identifier matches a lock owner network identifier stored in a first register, and verifying one or both of whether one or both of a processor endpoint and a controller endpoint are permitted to alter the lock owner network identifier, and whether the source network identifier identifies a processor endpoint authorized to write data on the GMU based on a set of authorized source network identifiers stored in a second register. The method further comprises storing the dataset on the GMU.
