The rapid development of various kinds of aerospace application systems requires the appropriate high-accuracy time and frequency standard. In order to establish suitable time and frequency standard in aerospace, based on the establishment of aerospace satellite visual model, we simulate the satellite visual time of 3-layer satellite constellation, including GEO satellite(Geostationary Earth Or...

Due to the much different environment in satellite and terrestrial links, possibilities in and design of MIMO systems are rather different as well. After pointing out these differences and problems arising from them, two MIMO designs are shown rather well adapted to satellite link characteristics. Cooperative diversity seems to be applicable; its concept is briefly presented without a detailed ...

The performance of the Multicast Dissemination Protocol (MDP) in a simulated satellite channel is investigated. The environment that is modeled is that to be expected in a small satellite communications environment including channel errors and link interruptions. The satellite link is simulated with a channel environment simulator. The performance of MDP is compared with file transfer protocol ...

Current TCP protocols have low throughput performance in satellite networks mainly due to the e!ects of long propagation delays and high link error rates. TCP-Peach is a new congestion control scheme for satellite IP networks based on the use of low priority segments, called dummy segments. The sender transmits dummy segments to probe the availability of network resources. Dummy segments are tr...

Sooyoung Kim Shin et al. 31 In high-speed multimedia satellite communication systems, it is essential to provide high-quality, economical services by using efficient transmission schemes which can overcome channel impairments appearing in the satellite link. This paper introduces techniques to compensate for rain attenuation and the Doppler shift in the satellite communication link. An adaptive...

This paper discusses in-house designed and developed scale-down DVB-RCS hub along with the performance of the realized hub. This development is intended to support the Satellite Based e-Learning initiative in India. The scale-down DVB-RCS HUB is implemented around a single PC with other subsystems making it very cost effective and unique of its kind. This realization will drastically reduce the...

Fixed GEO satellite communications are impaired by long RTTs (especially GEO) and the possible presence of packet losses on the satellite radio channels. Moreover, when the satellite receiver is mobile, short and long disruptions due to line of sight obstructions associated with the presence of shadowing can cause further performance deterioration. In this paper, we evaluate the impact of a dis...

Bidirectional ground-satellite laser links suffer from turbulence-induced scintillation and phase distortion. We study how turbulence impacts on coherent detection capacity and on the associated phase noise that restricts clock transfer precision. We evaluate the capacity to obtain a two-way cancellation of atmospheric effects despite the asymmetry between up and down link that limits the link ...

This paper reports the study on the performance enhancements of two extensions to the standard TCP implementation Selective Acknowledgement (SACK) and Header Checksum (HACK) over satellite links that are characterized by high latency and high bit error rate. We also examine the effectiveness of TCP Trunk, an edge-to-edge aggregation and congestion control mechanism, over the satellite link. Our...
