If two aircraft detect each other at exactly the same time and simultaneously transmit coordination messages containing incompatible deviation senses it is, by convention, the aircraft that has the highest Mode S address that cancels its trajectory correction. A time delay in the display of orders on the display units avoids opposing orders.
(2) Communications protocol Communications between two aircraft comprises three phases:
(a)
Detection phase The TCAS receives squitter messages transmitted by the transponder of the intruder aircraft. These are DF11-type messages transmitted periodically at one second intervals and intended to enable its detection and identification. This message essentially uses two fields:
-an AA (Address Announced) field containing the Mode S address which must be acknowledged
-A PI (parity interrogator Identity) field which is the result of a parity encoding using a method of polynominal multiplication. On reception, the Address Announced field is multiplied by the same polynominal and the result is compared with the received value.
(b)
Surveillance phase After detection, a surveillance phase starts. This phase is composed of an acquisition part and a tracking part.
1_ Acquisition interrogation
When the TCAS receives a squitter and acquires the Mode S
address of the intruder it enters into contact by transmitting
a UFO-type message (Short special surveillance interrogation)
with the following specific fields:
- bit 9, RL = 0: reply message length requested short (56
bits)
- bit 14, AQ = 1: acquisition-type message indication.
2_ Acquisition reply
The intruder's transponder replies to this request by a DFO
message containing the following information:
- bit 6, VS: Vertical Status, = 1 if the aircraft is on the
ground, = 0 if the aircraft is airborne
- bits 9 to 11, SL: Sensitivity level indicates in which
sensitivity level its TCAS is operating
- bits 14 to 17, RI: combinations of bits, from values 8 to
15, specify the maximum speed the aircraft can reach. The
other combinations are not used
R 1EFF : ALL 1 34-43-00Page 62 1 1 May 01/05 1 1 1CES 1 -bits 20 to 32, AC: aircraft altitude code indicating the barometric altitude.
3 Tracking interrogation
_ After its acquisition, the intruder is tracked by UFO-type interrogations with the following field values:
-RL = 0: reply message length requested short
-AQ = 0: not an acquisition message.
4 Tracking reply
_
The intruder's transponder replies with a DFO message
indicating altitude and TCAS sensitivity level by a
combination of fields SL and RI:
-SL: bits 9 to 11
-RI: bits 14 to 17, combination values 0 to 7. Values 8 to 15 are not used
-AC: bits 20 to 32, aircraft altitude code.
(c) Coordination phase If the intruder becomes a threat, the TCAS programs a deviation maneuver to avoid a risk of collision. A coordination procedure is initiated between the two aircraft with an exchange of the following messages:
1 Coordination interrogation
_ The TCAS transmits a UF16 Long Special Surveillance message whose fields contain the following indications:
