Allocation of Available Link Resources Based on the Number of Aircraft in Different Airspaces

Since the Poisson distribution is not universal for the arrival of aircraft in the airspace, in this paper, we leverage the negative binomial distribution to simulate the aircraft’s arrival process, and combine the flight speed to estimate the total number of aircraft in the regular airspace. Then, we obtain the estimated number of aircraft in the irregular airspace by utilizing the Monte Carlo and pixel counting methods. Finally, we allocate the available link resources in different airspaces based on the estimated number of aircraft. Numerical results show that the Monte Carlo method has better performance than the pixel counting method, but their allocated results are very close.
