BSM integrated PEP with cross-layer improvements

Abstract

The future development of broadband satellite systems providing services based on the Internet Protocol (IP) needs to be stimulated by means of common standards. This paper presents the ETSI BSM PEP terminal architecture and PEP usage scenarios. In addition this paper shows the benefits of cross-layer improvements, where the TCP traffic sent by STs through an NCC/Gateway that acts as a PEP-spoofer on ACKs going in the opposite direction.
