Abstract

In the near future, wireless connectivity will become a commodity in aircrafts. For the planning of the reliable network a detail analysis of the coverage is required. This paper studies the coverage in an AIRBUS A380 cabin for a OFDM UWB system based on the ECMA 368 standard. For this purpose, based on real measurement in an AIRBUS A380 airplane cabin, a Saleh-Valenzuela channel model and a path-loss model are presented. This models are used to obtain the block error rates and the throughput in an in-cabin environment.
