In order to improve the performance of the existing land-based AIS system, a consortium led by OHB has been responsible for the development of a full-fledged European space-based AIS system. The main challenge in space-based AIS is the collision of multiple AIS messages in a single slot. Several innovative technologies have been applied to the payload to maximize its detection performance. The constellation has been optimized for high performance, sufficient coverage and low timeliness, resulting in 4 orbital planes consisting of 3 satellites each. Orbital parameters are 550 km altitude at 88° inclination. Assessment of the AIS constellation performance is done by using a dedicated AIS simulator applying either present-day or future traffic models. After definition of the use cases, including so-called of High Traffic Zones, which contain exceptionally dense traffic, the performance per use case has been evaluated. Considering all vessels, the user requirements of 1 hour update interval with 80% detection probability for non-HTZ and 3 hour update interval with 80% detection probability for HTZ, can be met for most use cases. For critical use cases, such as North Atlantic or Mediterranean, these requirements will be met for open sea traffic. Such a situation is representative of space-based AIS complementing the already existing infrastructure of coastal stations.","PeriodicalId":221214,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th Advanced Satellite Multimedia Systems Conference and the 11th Signal Processing for Space Communications Workshop","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132417742","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}

These satellites typically employ uniform allocation of RF power and bandwidth to spot beams. Since the traffic distribution tends to be highly asymmetrical and with a high degree of uncertainty, the satellite does not have sufficient flexibility to satisfy the traffic request on a beam per beam basis in an efficient manner. This paper investigates two new candidate multibeam system transmission schemes, namely, the Flexible and Beam-Hoping (BH) scheme, focusing on the forward link. We formulate the system-level optimization and propose an iterative algorithm that always converges given the constraints posed by the payload. The algorithm feeds a detailed system-level simulator which takes into account Ka-band channel and physical layer statistics. Our results show that both candidates outperform the conventional system in terms of both adaptation throughput matching to traffic demands and a more efficient use of available resources. The results were obtained during a project funded by the European Space Agency, with title “Beam Hopping techniques for multibeam satellite systems”.","PeriodicalId":221214,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th Advanced Satellite Multimedia Systems Conference and the 11th Signal Processing for Space Communications Workshop","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131217136","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}

DTNs will benefit from this kind of analysis in general, since it is desirable that DTN deployments be able to mix-and-match routing and other schemes within boundaries that make sense for the DTN in question.","PeriodicalId":221214,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th Advanced Satellite Multimedia Systems Conference and the 11th Signal Processing for Space Communications Workshop","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127909225","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}

In previous works we derived optimum loop filters and introduced the UFA discriminator to improve the PLL response to acceleration steps expected in launching vehicles. In this paper we present a data detection strategy based on the Per Survivor Processing (PSP) technique to use a four quadrants angle phase discriminator. The proposed scheme makes use of two parallel tracking loops and commutes between them based on the data decisions. Simulations show that 30g steps can be efficiently tracked with signal levels as low as C/N0 = 28 dB-Hz. The performance is similar to the obtained with more complex schemes and represents a 4 dB reduction in tracking threshold with respect to the single loop estimator.","PeriodicalId":221214,"journal":{"name":"2010 5th Advanced Satellite Multimedia Systems Conference and the 11th Signal Processing for Space Communications Workshop","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122674201","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}
