between solutions is less, <strong>and</strong> varies according to the cosine of latitude. For example at 87 degrees latitude,<br />

the minimum distance between solutions is 280 NM. This is sufficiently large to provide assurance that the<br />

correct aircraft location will always be obtained. Currently no airports exist within 3 degrees of either pole, so<br />

the decoding as specified here will yield the correct location of the transmitting aircraft <strong>for</strong> all existing airports.<br />

A.2.6.9 CPR DECODING OF RECEIVED POSITION MESSAGES<br />

The techniques described in the preceding paragraphs (locally <strong>and</strong> globally unambiguous decoding) shall be used<br />

together to decode the latitude/longitude contained in airborne, surface, intent <strong>and</strong> TIS-B position messages. The<br />

process shall begin with globally unambiguous decoding based upon the receipt of an even <strong>and</strong> an odd encoded<br />

position squitter. Once the globally unambiguous position is determined, emitter centered decoding shall be used to<br />

support subsequent decoding based upon a single position report, either even or odd encoding.<br />

A.2.6.9.2 EMITTER CENTERED LOCAL DECODING<br />

In this approach, the most recent position of the emitter shall be used as the basis <strong>for</strong> the local decoding.<br />

Note.— This produces an unambiguous decoding at each update since the transmitting aircraft cannot move more<br />

than 180 NM between position updates.<br />

A.2.7 REASONABLENESS TEST FOR CPR DECODING OF RECEIVED POSITION MESSAGES<br />

A.2.7.1 OVERVIEW<br />

Draft<br />

Note.— Although receptions of position messages will normally lead to a successful target position determination, it<br />

is necessary to safeguard against position messages that would be used to initiate or update a track with an erroneous<br />

position. A reasonableness test applied to the computed position resulting from receipt of a position message can be<br />

used to discard erroneous position updates. Since an erroneous globally unambiguous CPR decode could potentially<br />

exist <strong>for</strong> the life of a track, a reasonableness test <strong>and</strong> validation of the position protects against such occurrences.<br />

A.2.7.2 REASONABLENESS TEST APPLIED TO POSITIONS DETERMINED<br />

FROM GLOBALLY UNAMBIGUOUS DECODING<br />

A reasonableness test shall be applied to a position computed using the globally unambiguous CPR decoding per<br />

§A.2.6.7 <strong>for</strong> airborne participants or per §A.2.6.8 <strong>for</strong> surface participants. Upon receipt of the even or odd encoded<br />

position message that completes the globally unambiguous CPR decode, the receiver shall per<strong>for</strong>m a reasonableness<br />

test on the position decode by the following:<br />

If the receiver position is known, calculate the distance between the decoded position <strong>and</strong> the receiver position <strong>and</strong><br />

verify that the distance is less than the maximum operating range. If the validation fails, the receiver shall discard the<br />

decoded position, the even <strong>and</strong> odd position messages used to per<strong>for</strong>m the globally unambiguous CPR decode, <strong>and</strong><br />

reinitiate the globally unambiguous CPR decode process.<br />
