Employing site diversity is a well-known method to improve the signal to interference plus noise ratio conditions within the BFWA network. The backbone of a BFWA can be wired or wireless terrestrial, however the connection between base stations and the operator's core network can be also established by high frequency satellite links. Applying a satellite backbone system and route diversity between the Earth-space links can compensate precipitation attenuation. In this paper the efficiency of the diversity scheme in a satellite backbone network for BFWA system will be presented.","PeriodicalId":137431,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130213273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cross-layer study of the effect of the physical layer on the performance of TCP based traffic was conducted by varying margin values. A 3-state markov channel model has been used for this work. Our aim is to investigate the impact of the margin on TCP performance and recommend the optimal margin for this channel model.

To support seamless handovers, mobility related entities are proposed in the Satellite Independent Access Function (SIAF) defined over the SI-SAP interface. This enables the mapping of the mobility related primitives between the higher layer and the satellite dependant lower layers via the Satellite Dependent Access Function (SDAF). The proposed MM architecture incorporates the Media Independent Handover Services defined in the IEEE802.21 to support handover between different satellite systems. This includes definition of the Media Independent Handover Function (MIHF) which provides interworking between heterogeneous 802 networks and between 802 and other terrestrial mobile networks through the support of three services for handover, namely, Media Independent Event Services (MIES), Media Independent Command Services (MICS) and Media Independent Information Services (MIIS).

One of the important applications is voice over IP. Satellites are playing an important role to provide VoIP services with their global coverage and on-board processing ability over IP networks. Satellite network environment, generally characterized by large delay and erroneous link, is considered to be unfriendly to VoIP. The performance of VoIP is adversely influenced by these characteristics. The performance metrics of VoIP are signaling, bandwidth, delay, jitter and packet loss. Signaling plays a key role in call establishment and rest of the parameters signifies the quality of service (QoS). In this paper, the performance related issues of SIP-based VoIP over current, IPv4, and next generation, IPv6 satellites is studied. A comparative analysis is performed for different voice codecs. The experimentation is carried out on the satellite network testbed at Centre for Communication Systems Research (CCSR), University of Surrey. The results show that delay, jitter and packet loss are quite comparable for both IPv4 and IPv6 over satellites. SIP signaling performs poorly in IPv6 as compared to IPv4. IPv6 can be adapted for VoIP over satellites, but with some modifications for SIP signaling.","PeriodicalId":137431,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132881307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But if these periods are predictable, as in the presence of known routes traced by means of a GPS navigator, it may be advisable to alert the transmitter in advance, in order to counteract the incoming outage interval. We refer to this technique as Smart Mode. In the following we will detail how Smart Mode takes advantage of FEC and interleaving techniques, in order to improve the Quality of Experience and to reduce the waste of bandwidth in satellite multimedia streaming.","PeriodicalId":137431,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132763868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
