In this paper, two different routing mechanisms are proposed to addresses the delivery of remote control messages and scientific data in deep space networks. The location-predicted directional broadcast (LPDB) is proposed for the fast delivery of remote control messages and automatic data delivery. For controlled data delivery, the receiver-initiated on-demand routing (RIOR) is proposed. In RIOR, the route discovery is initiated on-demand by the receiver, and routing tables are maintained in soft state at intermediate nodes. The simulation results show that LPDB and RIOR address the service requirements of different types of traffic, and are efficient in both message delivery and power consumption.","PeriodicalId":286578,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117330817","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}

The likely use of Ka band and above frequencies for future satellite systems and the need for a better quality of service (QoS) complicate the radio resource management process especially in the return link of a satellite system, one that connects the user to the Gateway or Hub. This paper discusses the research themes that are part of the PhD research, carried out at SUPAERO, aimed at developing radio resource management algorithms that will ultimately improve the resource utilization and the QoS for the return link of interactive broadband satellite systems employing fade mitigation techniques at Ka/Q/V band frequencies. The inputs and optimization criteria for the resource management process are identified. Various physical layer issues that confront the process are also identified.

Moreover, an original receiver which is based on iterative demapping and decoding, is introduced.

In this work we are interested in estimating the capacity requirements for a satellite system for ATM. The bit rate requirement per spot beam is determined using the same approach as in the COCR, with some parameters adjusted to fit in a satellite system scenario. Furthermore, the criticality of one particular service message, the A-EXEC, is verified by comparing the required bit rate when it is excluded from the computation. A condition when this criticality applies is also determined.","PeriodicalId":286578,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications","volume":"80 16","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120824868","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 switching algorithm is proposed for selecting between the adjacent transmission schemes that is assisted by the information on the number of iterations and the number of violated parity checks in previous frames obtained from the iterative LDPC decoder. The simulation results are given in terms of BER curves and the belonging LDPC decoder's average number of iterations and average number of violated parity checks. These results, in particular the LDPC decoder's probability density function of the number of required iterations, are further compared with results obtained with a SNR estimation algorithm proposed in the literature for the use in DVB-S2.

Saratoga was developed by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) for file transfers of imaging data recorded onboard the Internet-Protocol-Based Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC) satellites, and has been in operational use from low Earth orbit since 2004. Saratoga focuses only on efficient communication to the next hop when link connectivity is available, by filling the link with packets sent at line rate. This ensures that as much data as possible is transferred to the peering node during a twelve-minutes-or-less pass over a satellite ground station. Saratoga uses a minimal bandwidth-efficient negative acknowledgement mechanism to ensure reliable data transfer. We examine how Saratoga can be adapted to serve as an efficient convergence layer for delay-tolerant networking (DTN), by transferring DTN bundles as well as files. This will allow DTN networks to increase efficiency of communication across briefly-available disrupted links -for long-distance deep space links as well as for short-distance terrestrial mobile ad-hoc networks.","PeriodicalId":286578,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications","volume":"37 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114416998","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}
