Glossary (xi)<br />

Required Navigation Per<strong>for</strong>mance (RNP). A statement of the navigation per<strong>for</strong>mance accuracy necessary <strong>for</strong><br />

operation within a defined airspace.<br />

Segment. A portion of a message that can be accommodated within a single MA/MB field in the case of an SLM, or a<br />

single MC/MD field in the case of an ELM. This term is also applied to the <strong>Mode</strong> S transmissions containing these<br />

fields.<br />

St<strong>and</strong>ard Length Message (SLM). An exchange of digital data using selectively addressed Comm-A interrogations<br />

<strong>and</strong>/or Comm-B replies.<br />

Subnetwork. An actual implementation of a data network that employs a homogeneous protocol <strong>and</strong> addressing plan<br />

<strong>and</strong> is under the control of a single authority.<br />

Timeout. The cancellation of a transaction after one of the participating entities has failed to provide a required<br />

response within a pre-defined period of time.<br />

Traffic in<strong>for</strong>mation service — broadcast (TIS-B). The principle use of TIS-B is to complement the operation of ADS-B<br />

by providing ground-to-air broadcast of surveillance data on aircraft that are not equipped <strong>for</strong> 1090 MHz ADS-B<br />

OUT as an aid to transition to a full ADS-B environment. The basis <strong>for</strong> this ground surveillance data may be an air<br />

traffic control (ATC) <strong>Mode</strong> S radar, a surface or approach multilateration system, or a multi-sensor data processing<br />

system. The TIS-B ground-to-air transmissions use the same signal <strong>for</strong>mats as 1090 MHz ADS-B <strong>and</strong> can<br />

there<strong>for</strong>e be accepted by a 1 090 MHz ADS-B receiver.<br />

Uplink. A term referring to the transmission of data from the ground to an aircraft. <strong>Mode</strong> S ground-to-air signals are<br />

transmitted on the 1030 MHz interrogation frequency channel.<br />

Vertical Protection Limit (VPL). The vertical geometric position integrity containment region defined by the vertical<br />

distance centered on the reported vertical position within which the true vertical position lies.<br />
