Abstract

The invention relates to a communications system for airport signalling devices (3). In said system, the series or parallel circuits used for supplying electricity to the signalling devices (3) are used for the communication between a control device (1), a central communication device (2) and signalling devices (3). The OFDM method is preferably used to transmit signals and decentralised communications devices (5), which are assigned to the signalling devices (3) and preferably have elements for preparing the signals, are dynamically configured in an adaptive manner during the active operation of the system by a central communication device (2).

Claims (12)

1. A communications system for signaling apparatuses (3) at an airport, with the communications system having, as system components (2, 3) at least one central communications apparatus (2) and a number of signaling apparatuses (3), with the communication between the system components (2, 3) taking place via one or more circuits by means of which the signal apparatuses (3) are supplied with power, characterized in that the communication between the system components (2, 3) is distributed in a delineated frequency range over a number of frequency bands.
2. The communications system as claimed in patent claim 1, characterized in that the communication is subdivided into time slices.
3. The communications system as claimed in one of the preceding patent claims, characterized in that a frequency range between 10 kHz and 150 kHz is used for communication.
4. The communications system as claimed in one of the preceding patent claims, characterized in that up to ten frequency bands are used for communication.
5. The communications system as claimed in one of the preceding patent claims, characterized in that up to five time slices are used for communication.

-10a-
6. The communications system as claimed in one of the preceding patent claims, characterized in that the OFDM method is used for communication.
7. The communications system as claimed in one of the preceding patent claims, characterized in that at least one central communications apparatus (2) and a number of signaling apparatuses (3) are connected via a series circuit.
8. The communications system as claimed in one of the preceding patent claims, characterized in that at least one central communications apparatus (2) and a number of signaling apparatuses (3) are connected via a parallel circuit.
9. The communications system as claimed in one of the preceding patent claims, characterized in that at least one decentralized communications apparatus (5) is allocated to at least one signaling apparatus (3), and can be used to measure the reception quality of communications signals.
10. The communications system as claimed in one of the preceding patent claims, characterized in that at least one decentralized communications apparatus (5) is allocated to at least one signaling apparatus (3) and can be used to preprocess its communication signals.
11. The communications system as claimed in one or more of the patent claims, characterized in that the decentralized communication apparatuses (5) form an adaptive system.
12. The communications system as claimed in one of patent claims 9 to 11, characterized in that communication paths are determined dynamically with the assistance of the measured reception quality.
