Abstract

Advanced wireless technologies are in more demand for the efficient and safe air travel. Increased air traffic congestion along with unpredicted weather conditions, poses lot of challenges for the safe air travels. Today’s advanced wireless technologies could help us to achieve that required level of accuracy by providing better connectivity and communication among different airplanes and air-traffic control stations. In this paper, we have discussed various wireless technologies like 5G, Augmented Reality (AR), Aeronautical Mobile Airport Communication System (AeroMACS), Wireless Avionics Intra-Communications (WAIC), Internet of Things (IoT), System Wide Information Management (SWIM). After this study, we analyzed that each technology has its own capability and is able to transmit the data among different on board systems in the plane and air traffic control systems on the ground. These technologies are going to play a key role to improve the communication among ground controllers and other aircraft.
