After a brief review of the historical background, an overview of the system is provided, with particular emphasis on the factors that interacted with the design of the speech processing functions, e.g. access and transmission methods, error protection, and network organization.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

BER (bit error rate) performance versus S/N ratio was within 1.8 dB of theoretical (no error correction) at a BER of 1*10/sup -8/. M-curves were measured for the 20-MHz channel and were very close to theoretical. Finally, modem acquisition statistics were tabulated under various channel distortions, with the average time of acquisition being less than 200 ms.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

In this experiment, a full duplex 4800-b/s digital data and voice communication link was established through the INMARSAT MARECS B2 satellite between Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Southbury, Connecticut. A series of experiments was performed to characterize the terminal performance over this link. The basic experimental setup and the preliminary results of the speech and data experiments are presented. The satellite environment proved to be near to what was expected, and as a result the experimental results were very close to theory/simulation/laboratory experiments. It was found that the ground-to-ground communication links were more benign links than the ground-to-air and air-to-ground links, and this is reflected in the improved margins for the ground-to-ground links (approximately 5 dB versus 3.2 dB for the aeronautical links.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

Analytical procedures to determine the parameters of these outer channel models are presented. The application of these models in the design of such error-control systems as ARQ (automatic repeat request) systems is investigated. Consideration is also given to the memory-efficient recording of the channel error stream to be recorded or stored, in order to parameterize inner channel models. The results of several simulations to verify the analytical procedures are also presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

An increase of convergence speed is made possible by adopting conventional phase detectors through the use not only of the diagonal QAM signal states, but also of the all-QAM signal states. Use of this technique makes blind convergence possible. S-curves are plotted for the analysis of algorithm performances. A differential modulation method should also be implemented in order to recover the phase errors greater than pi /2. It is suggested that an optimum subset of QAM signal states be investigated to find an optimum compromise between convergence speed and performance.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":256305,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference, 1989, and Exhibition.

The delay time and throughput are derived, revealing that a wide area system with a loop length of less than 25 km can be achieved.
