Channel Modelling and Error Control Strategies for the LEO Satellite Channel

چکیده
Abstract A model for the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications channel is proposed in this paper. This model is validated through real measurements gathered from a satellite in LEO for a wide range of elevation angles. It is shown that that the burst statistics of the channel are sufficiently described by a multiplestate Fritchman model and four-state Markov model. This model has been used for the simulation of various error control strategies. The performance of these strategies has been evaluated, the tradeoffs are identified and results are presented.

متن کاملUsing Adaptive Modulation in a LEO Satellite Communication System
Adaptive modulation is a powerful technique to improve the energy efficiency and increases the data rate over a fading channel. The ground station transmitter and the satellite receiver adapt the modulation scheme and the transmitter power to the state of the channel. In this paper, we study adaptive multi-level quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) schemes for LEO satellite over a Rayleigh f...
متن کاملAn adaptive hybrid- ARQ scheme combating burst-errors caused by power control lag in Ka-band LEO satellite systems
When power control is employed in a Ka-band LEO satellite system featured with a Markov channel, the long loop lag induces power control gaps during channel state transition, which results in long (large-scale) bursterrors. To combat it, a novel hybrid ARQ scheme is proposed in this paper, in which the side information of the turbo decoder is utilized to derive the average reliability LLRl of t...

Satellite thermal control ensures safe operating temperature ranges for satellite components throughout the mission life. Effects of altitude, spin, and position of satellite radiator(s) on the thermal control of a small Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite have been studied. Results show that change in satellite altitude, in the range considered here, does not produce critical thermal conditions. H...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Secure Channel Coding Scheme for Data Transmission over LEO Satellite Channels
Both secure and error control coding are very extensive subjects, each with a variety of subdisciplines. A secure channel coding (joint encryption-channel coding) scheme provides both data secrecy and data reliability in one process to combat problems in an insecure and unreliable channel. In this paper, a joint encryption-channel coding scheme is developed, based on concatenated turbo codes fo...
