This paper aims to add the information access capabilities to enable user’s mobile terminals in a wireless small satellite telemetry system. The cellular phone-centric mobile network architecture provides wireless communication link; telemetry information is provided to users in a highly personalized form according to the end-user’s range. We choose a reference system-level model of network arc...

This issue presents the second of the two-part special topic series, ‘Cross-Layer Protocols for Satellite Communication Networks’. Cross-layer protocols for satellite networks is an emerging research area addressing the major issues of protocol design, analysis and optimization for efficient use of satellite resources and system deployment. The cross-layer design research is an interdisciplinar...

In this paper we propose a design of the main modulation and demodulation units of a modem compliant with the new DVB-S2 standard (Int. J. Satellite Commun. 2004; 22:249–268). A typical satellite channel model consistent with the targeted applications of the aforementioned standard is assumed. In particular, non-linear pre-compensation as well as synchronization techniques are described in deta...

SUMMARY We propose a novel channel model of satellite-to-ground optical transmission to achieve a global-scale high-capacity communication network. In addition, we compose an effective channel coding scheme based on low-density generator matrix (LDGM) code suitable for that channel. Because the first successful optical satellite communication demonstrations are quite recent, no practical channe...

To create a next-generation mobile satellite communication system that offers large communication capacity, the onboard antenna system must be a multi-beam system consisting of a light weight 20-m class reflector and a light weight 100-beam class antenna feed system. We clarify that the antenna gain decrease created by the reflector surface distortion in orbit is relatively large. This paper pr...

The aim of this research is to evaluate the relationship between use of new communication technology (internet and satellite) and tendency toward social pathology(addiction).The results are based on survey methods and questionnaire techniques which asked amongst 400 people in a range 15-30 years old. In order to analyze the statistical data, Pearson's correlation test and Man-Whitney and struct...

The introduction of digital video broadcasting (DVB) satellite systems has become an important tool for future mobile communication and is currently a focus in several research areas such as the integration of DVB satellite systems with different wireless technologies. This tutorial consists of two parts, Enabling technologies and Future service scenarios, which aims to provide an introduction ...

The emerging European global satellite system Galileo has gained much public interest regarding location and position services. Two Galileo Open Service signals, namely E1 and E5, will provide the frequency diversity. The dualfrequency receiver will greatly enhance the performance of satellite navigation. However, the dual-frequency receiver becomes more complex since it needs to process two si...
