A test campaign has been performed over a Linux-based satellite emulator supporting a multi-RCST configuration in a star-based architecture, with the main goal to evaluate TCP behavior in terms of both capacity utilization and fairness. In the proposed communication scenario, TCP performance relates on the joint effect of two nested control loops: TCP congestion/rate control loop and DAMA bandwidth assignment loop. Various TCP versions have been taken into account: Reno, Vegas, Westwood+, Hybla, Cubic and Noordwijk, a new TCP specifically designed for DVB-RCS point-to-point links. Rate Based Capacity Request (RBDC) has been selected as the access protocol.","PeriodicalId":137431,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications","volume":"15 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":"115321829","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}

This is useful in future updates of the channel code option used for such applications by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS). A wide range of different code rates is examined and the obtained Bit Error Rate (BER) performance versus the Bit Energy to Noise Spectral Density ratio (Eb/N0) is reported. Both low and high code rates are being studied, and specifically the 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and 1/5 as well as the 2/3, 3/4 and 4/5 code rates are taken under consideration. The role of the iteration rounds in the decoding procedure of LDPC codes is also examined showing that QC-LDPC codes outperform the currently used CCSDS turbo codes. Another advantage of QC-LDPC codes is their simple encoding procedure, which reduces the encoding complexity. Since deep space applications are considered, the signals are transmitted over the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel, with the specific block size of 7136 bits.","PeriodicalId":137431,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications","volume":"29 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":"114690751","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}

However, the increasing occupation will be accompanied by complex user's bandwidth requests. In satellite based systems such as DVB-S2/RCS, the management of this resource will be critical. In this work we propose a Bandwidth on Demand (BoD) algorithm based on a cross-layer interaction between the MAC and Transport layers to overcome the BW optimization problem. The algorithm allows to recover the bandwidth that is not being used for any other connection assigning it to the connections that require more resources.","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":"130789663","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}

We compare the performance of punctured DVB-S2 LDPC codes against the 3GPP2 turbo codes. Simulation results for bit error rate (BER) and frame error rate (FER) show that the proposed coding schemes exhibit 0.5 dB to 0.75 dB penalty loss compared to 3GPP2 codes.

We experienced one of these cases in Saudi Aramco where drilling web-based applications were establishing, maintaining, and closing large numbers of TCP sessions. The applications, possibly due to PEP's failure to hold TCP's end-to-end semantics, were not terminating sessions in a CLOSE_WAIT state. Further, large numbers of terminated sessions were transitioning to TIME_WAIT states. Both session types were staying active long enough to cause the PEP translation table to reach its limit of 500 concurrent sessions and deny any new TCP connections. To address this issue, modifications to our remote terminal PEPs were required to clear these sessions based on timeouts.","PeriodicalId":137431,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications","volume":"88 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":"122881414","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}

This paper presents a unique Spread Scrambled Coded Multiple Access (SSCMA) scheme to achieve the low-cost and long battery-life objectives.
