A-90 <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Provisions</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Mode</strong> S <strong>Services</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Extended</strong> <strong>Squitter</strong><br />

A.3. FORMATS FOR MODE S SPECIFIC PROTOCOLS (MSP)<br />

A.3.1 MSP CHANNEL NUMBER ALLOCATIONS<br />

The details of protocols <strong>and</strong> data transfers shall be as specified in the following paragraphs.<br />

Note.— Some MSP channel numbers have been assigned (see Annex 10, Volume III, Part I, Chapter 5, Table 5-25).<br />

A.3.2 UPLINK MSP CHANNELS<br />

The following sections are numbered §A.3.2.X, where ‘X’ is the decimal equivalent of the uplink MSP channel number.<br />

This shall be done to allow definitions of the hitherto undefined <strong>for</strong>mats to be inserted without affecting the paragraph<br />

numbers.<br />

For MSP packet <strong>for</strong>mats refer to Annex 10, Volume III, Part I, Chapter 5.<br />

(Reserved <strong>for</strong> specific services management)<br />

The description of this channel has not yet been developed.<br />

A.3.2.2.1 PURPOSE<br />

A.3.2.1 UPLINK MSP CHANNEL 1<br />

A.3.2.2 UPLINK MSP CHANNEL 2: TRAFFIC INFORMATION SERVICE (TIS)<br />

The TIS shall have the capability to generate automatic alert in<strong>for</strong>mation on any aircraft that carries an operating<br />

transponder (<strong>Mode</strong> A/C or <strong>Mode</strong> S). Aircraft that are under primary radar tracking can also be used to generate reports.<br />

Draft<br />

Note.— The traffic in<strong>for</strong>mation service (TIS) is intended to improve the safety <strong>and</strong> efficiency of “see <strong>and</strong> avoid” flight<br />

by providing the pilot with an automatic display of nearby traffic <strong>and</strong> warnings of any potentially threatening traffic<br />

conditions. The TIS is functionally equivalent to ACAS I, providing traffic advisories but no resolution advisory<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mation. By utilizing the surveillance database maintained by <strong>Mode</strong> S ground interrogators <strong>and</strong> its data link, the TIS<br />

can provide airborne traffic alerting with a minimum airborne equipage requirement. The TIS is provided without any<br />

ATC involvement.<br />

A.3.2.2.2 TIS UPLINK MESSAGE FORMATS<br />

All TIS uplink messages shall be structured as shown below. Each TIS uplink message shall be 56 bits. TIS traffic data<br />

messages shall consist of one or more short-<strong>for</strong>m MSP packets. There shall be three types of TIS uplink messages as<br />

follows:<br />

1) “Keep-alive”<br />

2) “Goodbye”<br />
