1 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 1-2
• 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.
