This chapter begins with a brief review of the cellular concept and Erlang traffic theory, leading to the design of classical cellular network for a given grade of service. The wireless radio channel is reviewed, and three categories of signal attenuation/fading are highlighted. It is interesting to observe that the preliminary steps in defining and understanding radio resource management (RRM) in present‐day “telephone” networks are embedded in the cellular concept and cellular layout of the wireless network. The chapter serves to provide a brief review of cellular networking and propagation environment over which Aeronautical Mobile Airport Communication System (AeroMACS) is presumed to operate. The background material covered in the chapter is oriented toward assisting the reader for understanding various required protocols and signal processing techniques used in the physical layer and to some extent in the MAC layer of AeroMACS networks.
