DESIGN NOTES

The Tron AIS TR-2600, an AIS Base Station, is the most basic AIS-related entity of any AIS Shore Infrastructure. The AIS Base Station is defined by IMO. It cannot operate on its own, because it needs commands from an external unit, i.e. a Base Station Controller (BSC), which may be connected to a Management System. 1.1 Scope This chapter describes how functionality is implemented in the AIS BS unit where the specification does not clearly describes all details. This description is usable for developers of Base Station Controller (BSC) functionality. 1.2 Function

1.2.1 General The AIS BS is implemented to AIS Coast Station CD 05.2002 as a guide. 1.2.2 Own Position In the VDL msg. 4 Base Station Report, the position of the AIS BS is specified. We define which position source to use in the BCF message. The options are External. The AIS Base station will use the same rules as the Class A transponder to monitor and select position source. If no External GPS is available, the internal is used. The same TXT and ALR are used as for the Class A. If no position data is available from internal or external GPS, no position is used and an alarm is initiated. Internal. Only internal position source is monitored. If no position data is available from internal GPS, no position is used and an alarm is initiated. Surveyed. The surveyed position must be specified in the BCF message as well. Other GPS sources are not monitored if surveyed position is used. The surveyed position is stored, so the data is available after a restart. 1.2.3 Message 4 scheduling The unit will start sending message 4 when the CBM message is received from the presentation interface. The CBM message defines the start slot, but the rate is internally determined by the AIS BS according to semaphore / not semaphore status. Each time a CBM message is received the startslot will be stored, and the other slots will be allocated immediately. If the CBM message dictates 1. All message 4 allocations are removed immediately.

81983_TM_TR2600_I

Page 1-1

Each time a new rate is determined, the last start slot is used to allocate the other slots in the frame. Old reserved slots are marked free. Each time a CAB message is received enabling or disabling one of the channels, the current start slot will be used to calculate the other slots according to schedule.

1.2.4 Message 16 - Assigned Mode The ASN message is used to send an Assigned Message 16 on VDL. The assignments within this message can either be soft assigned or hard assigned. Soft Assignment. A rate is given in the transmitted message. The specified class A transponder will send VDL message 2 in free slots. Hard Assignments A fixed slot number and an increment is given for where the class A transponder shall send the VDL message 2. These dedicated slots might be reserved by FATDMA. Warning: In our current versions, hard assigned slots are not marked in the system. There is a risk that the hard assigned slots can be used for other FATDMA messages. 1.2.5 Message 17 - Differential GPS data Own generation of Msg 17 data is not supported. This service must be performed by a higher level and transmitted by a VDL message via VDM. 1.2.6 Message 20 - FATDMA allocation The DLM defines when to reserve slots used for FATDMA. Maximum 10 reservations can be stored for each channel. The slots are reserved internally when the DLM message is received. Other units gets this information when msg. 20 is distributed. The schedule of msg. 20 is defined in the CBM msg. The reservations will be transmitted sequentially by order per channel. 1.2.7 Message 22 - Channel Management Storage of the regional areas follows the same rules as for the Class A transponder. The AIS Base station can store as much as 8 areas. When the CBM message defines where to send msg. 22, the defined areas are distributed sequentially by order. There are no definition on how to clear the defined areas by command, except overwrite the existing are by a large one. The AIS BS will clear all areas during restart. It is not possible to decide on which channel the different region definitions shall be transmitted.

1.2.8 Sending VDL messages using FATDMA/RATDMA All received VDM messages are unwrapped and put in a message queue. Repeating of msg.4, 10, 11 and 20 are not legal, so these messages are silently removed.

81983_TM_TR2600_I

1-2

The messages are then put into the queue by its priority. The queue is common for messages on both channel A and B. Algorithm for selecting FATDMA/RATDMA slot: When a message is to be sent, the next 150 slots are analysed to see if there is any reserved FATDMA slots for the message. If so, the first suitable reservation is used (The message need more than one slot). If no FATDMA reservation is found, the message is sent by RATDMA. Then standard slot reuse algorithms are used as for the Class A transponder if high load. If no channel assignment is specified in the VDM message, the message is sent on the first available FATDMA slot on either channel. If not enough FATDMA slots are reserved, the queue might become full. The Jotron BS has a queue of 20 messages. When the queue becomes full, an MSGQ ALR is set until the queue has emptied to below a specified threshold. It is up to the Base Station Controller to clear the communication state for any repeated messages, to avoid miss-configurations in the slot tables of the listening class A transponders. If channel is not specified in the received VDM message, the first available FATDMA reservation in either channel is used for the message. 1.2.9 System restart

1.2.9.1 Storage of data The AIS BS stores these configuration data during a system restart: Own MMSI Position source Surveyed Position and Position Accuracy Rx and Tx channels and power level VDL message retries Message Repeat Indicator Base Station Talker ID In addition these configurations are stored: Configuration of start of message 4 Configuration of LAN connection type for PI Listening port for UDP/TCP connection BSC IP address and destination port for UDP connection

1.2.9.2 Configurable start of msg 4 In the Jotron AIS BS there are three options at a system re-start for how to handle msg.4. Normally the msg. 4 is defined in the CBM message, with a start slot. After a restart we have three options: The msg 4 transmission must be restarted by a CBM message The last given CBM definition of msg 4 is stored. Msg 4 transmission is restarted according to this. Msg. 4 is always transmitted after restart. The AIS BS selects a random start slot.

1.2.9.3 Configurable LAN interface The Jotron AIS BS provides PI over either TCP or UDP connection to unit. UDP, destination can either be another unicast or a multicast address. Configuration by MMI: Own IP Address and AIS Receiver listen port BSC IP Address and port TCP server, one client can be connected. Configuration by MMI: Own IP Address and AIS Receiver listen port One serial message is always sent in one TCP/UDP packet. The AIS BS can handle reception of several serial messages in one TCP/UDP packet. 1.3 1.3.1 Interfaces Physical Interfaces

DESCRIPTION OF SENTENCE FORMAT

The following provides a summary explanation of the approved sentence structure according to IEC 61162:
$AACCC, C---C*HH<CR><LF> ASCII "$" aaccc HEX 24 Description Start of sentence: starting delimiter Address field: alphanumeric characters identifying type of talker, and sentence formatter. The first two characters identify the talker. The last three are the sentence formatter mnemonic code identifying the data type and the string format of the successive fields. Mnemonics will be used as far as possible to facilitate read-outs by users. 2C Field delimiter: starts each field except address and checksum fields. If it is followed by a null field, it is all that remains to indicate no data in a field. Data sentence block: follows address field and is a series of data fields containing all of the data to be transmitted. Data field sequence is fixed and identified by the third and subsequent characters of the address field (the sentence formatter). Data fields may be of variable length and are preceded by delimiters ",". 2A checksum delimiter: follows last data field of the sentence. It indicates that the following two alpha-numeric characters show the HEX value of the checksum. Checksum field: the absolute value calculated by exclusiveOR'ing the eight data bits (no start bits or stop bits) of each character in the sentence between, but excluding, "$" and "*". The hexadecimal value of the most significant and least significant four bits of the result are converted to two ASCII characters (0-9, A-F) for transmission. The most significant character is transmitted first. The checksum field is required in all cases. 0D 0A End of sentence: sentence terminating delimiter.

Identifies the distant addressed AIS unit(s) for the VDL assignment. The first set of four fields apply to a single AIS unit, while the second set of four fields (fields 5 - 8) apply to a second AIS unit. When only one AIS unit's assignment schedule is being provided, the second set of four fields (fields 5 - 8) may be set to null. This field corresponds to the ITU-R M.1371 Message 16 Offset field. The base station will only use this field if the "Increment for AIS" field (fields 4 and 8 of this sentence) for the same AIS unit is set to zero. The range of values for this field consists of multiples of 20, between and including 20 to 600. Values that are less then 600 but are not multiples of 20 will be interpreted as the next higher multiple of 20. Values above 600 will be interpreted as 600. This field shall be set to null when the "Increment for AIS" field (fields 4 and 8 of this sentence) for the same AIS unit is set to a non-zero value. This field corresponds to the ITU-R M.1371 Message 16 Offset field. The base station will only use this field if the "Increment for AIS" field (fields 4 and 8 of this sentence) for the same AIS unit is set to a non-zero value. The range of values for this field consists 0 to 2249 in units of slots. This field shall be set to null when the "Increment for AIS" field (fields 4 and 8 of this sentence) for the same AIS unit is set to a zero value. This field identifies the increment parameter in units of slots for the associated values of this field. The range of values are from 0 to 6. Note that a value of zero does not provide an increment, see note 2 above. This field shall not be set to null, unless the entire four field set for this AIS unit is not provided, because the base station may invoke two distinctly different assignment methods based on a zero or non-zero value. The values and their meanings are: Value 0 = Reporting rate is based upon the Soft Assigned Reporting Rate for same AIS unit " (fields 2 and 6) / 10 minutes. Value 1 = 1125 slots Value 2 = 375 slots Value 3 = 225 slots Value 4 = 125 slots Value 5 = 75 slots Value 6 = 45 slots The field identifies the channel that the base station should use to broadcast the ITU-R M.1371 message 16. A null value in this field indicates no change from previous received value when this sentence is sent to a base station and indicates unknown when this sentence is received from a base station. The values and their meanings for this are: Value 0 = No broadcast channel preference Value 1 = broadcast on AIS channel A Value 2 = broadcast on AIS channel B

5.1.13 GBS - GNSS satellite fault detection This message is used to support receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM). Given that a GNSS receiver is tracking enough satellites to perform integrity checks of the positioning quality of the position solution, a message is needed to report the output of this process to other systems to advise the system user. With the RAIM in the GNSS receiver, the receiver can isolate faults to individual satellites and not use them in its position and velocity calculations. Also, the GNSS receiver can still track the satellite and easily judge when it is back within tolerance. This message shall be used for reporting this RAIM information. To perform this integrity function, the GPS receiver must have at least two observables in addition to the minimum required for navigation. Normally these observables take the form of additional redundant satellites.
