Appendix C C-45<br />
(2). The broadcast of the <strong>Extended</strong> <strong>Squitter</strong> Aircraft Status Message Emergency/Priority<br />
Condition (TYPE=28, Subtype=1).<br />
(3). This priority level applies as a default to any Event-Driven Message TYPE <strong>and</strong> Subtype<br />
combination not specifically identified at a higher priority level above. Event-Driven<br />
Messages of this default priority level shall be delivered to the transponder on a first-in-firstout<br />
basis at equal priority.<br />
b. The Event-Driven Message scheduling function shall limit the number of Event-Driven Messages<br />
provided to the transponder to two (2) messages per second.<br />
c. If (b) results in a queue of messages awaiting delivery to the transponder, the higher priority<br />
pending messages, according to (a) above shall be delivered to the transponder <strong>for</strong> transmission<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e lower priority messages.<br />
d. If (b) results in a queue of messages awaiting delivery to the transponder, new Event-Driven<br />
messages shall directly replace older messages of the same exact Type <strong>and</strong> Subtype (where a<br />
Subtype is defined) that are already in the pending message queue. The updated message shall<br />
maintain the same position in the message queue as the pending message that is being replaced.<br />
e. If (b) above results in a queue of messages awaiting delivery to the transponder, then pending<br />
message(s), shall be deleted from the message transmission queue if not delivered to the<br />
transponder <strong>for</strong> transmission, or not replaced with a newer message of the same message Type<br />
<strong>and</strong> Subtype, within the Message Lifetime value specified in the Table C-36 below:<br />

C.2.6 LATITUDE/LONGITUDE CODING USING COMPACT POSITION REPORTING (CPR)<br />
Notes.—<br />
C.2.6.1 PRINCIPLE OF THE CPR ALGORITHM<br />
1. The <strong>Mode</strong> S <strong>Extended</strong> <strong>Squitter</strong>s use Compact Position Reporting (CPR) to encode<br />
Latitude <strong>and</strong> Longitude efficiently into messages. The resulting messages are compact in the<br />
sense that several higher-order bits, which are normally constant <strong>for</strong> long periods of time, are not<br />
transmitted in every message. For example, in a direct binary representation of latitude, one bit<br />
would designate whether the aircraft is in the northern or southern hemisphere. This bit would<br />
remain constant <strong>for</strong> a long time, possibly the entire life of the aircraft. To repeatedly transmit this bit<br />
in every position message would be inefficient.<br />
