The study of human factors in aviation makes an important contribution to safety. Within this discipline, real-time simulations (RTS) are a very powerful tool. The use of simulators allows for exercises with controlled air traffic control (ATC) events to be designed so that their influence on the performance of air traffic controllers (ATCOs) can be studied. The CRITERIA (atC event-dRiven capacITy modEls foR aIr nAvigation) project aims to establish capacity models and determine the influence of a series of ATC events on the workload of ATCOs. To establish a correlation between these ATC events and neurophysiological variables, a previous step is needed: a methodology for defining the taskload faced by the ATCO during the development of each simulation. This paper presents the development of this methodology and a series of recommendations for extrapolating the lessons learnt from this line of research to similar experiments. This methodology starts from a taskload design, and after RTS and through the use of data related to the subjective evaluation of workload as an intermediate tool it allows the taskload profile experienced by the ATCO in each simulation to be defined. Six ATCO students participated in this experiment. They performed four exercises using the SkySim simulator. As an example, a case study of the analysis of one of the participants is presented.

Downlink schedulers play a vital part in the current and next-generation wireless networks. The next generation downlink scheduler should satisfy the demand for different requirements, such as dealing with ultra-dense networks and the need to run real-time (RT) and non-real-time (nRT) applications, with a high quality of service (QoS). Many researchers have developed various schedulers for these, but none have introduced one scheduler to target them all. This paper introduces a novel channel/QoS aware downlink scheduler algorithm, called Advanced Fair Throughput Optimized Scheduler (AFTOS), for ultra-dense networks. AFTOS is a multi-QoS scheduler that aims to maximize system spectrum efficiency and user throughput with enhanced fairness, delay, and packet loss ratio (PLR). It is capable of handling RT and nRT traffic. We developed two new policies, called Adjusted Largest Weighted Delay First (ALWDF) and Fair Throughput Optimized Scheduler (FTOS), for RT and nRT traffic. Then, we joint them to introduce our novel downlink scheduler Advanced Fair Throughput Optimized Scheduler (AFTOS). For evaluating the suggested algorithm, we undertook experiments to decide the ideal parameter value for the proposed approaches and compared the proposed solution to current best practices. The findings prove that the AFTOS algorithm can achieve its objectives, outperforming the alternative techniques. Full article
