In this paper, we study the impact of multistreaming on the performance of SCTP over satellite networks. We first show that multistreaming results in higher goodput than single streams when the receiver buffer is constrained as in the case of wireless handheld devices. We then demonstrate that the multistreaming feature of SCTP results in reduced buffer requirements at the receiver in the prese...

Fade and interfade duration distributions derived from Kuand Ka-band slant-path measurements in several temperate and tropical locations and different path geometries are used to get insight into the dependence of distributions on fade threshold, frequency, elevation angle and climate. Comparisons of average lognormal fits to duration distributions were used to investigate these dependencies. A...

This paper discusses the development of a Matlab-based multi-Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) software receiver. Compared to a real-time GNSS receiver, the major difference is in the implementation mechanism of latching and processing the measurements between the receiver channels of a satellite system as well as channels of different systems. Implementation challenges increase due to ...

A scrutiny of the existing time differencing carrier phase (TDCP) velocity estimation algorithms has revealed several shortcomings which could be further improved. One of those is that the velocity estimation at epoch t would require the receiver positions at epoch t+Δt or more are available. Another one is the usage of satellite velocities in the calculations which would increase the receiver ...
