The paper carries out a preliminary assessment of how mobile satellite broadcasting (MSB) systems can increase their capacity potential with a high degree of flexibility and, at the same time, remain on par with wireless terrestrial counterparts. As argued in this work, a promising way forward in this regard is the migration from the conventional single polarization per beam to an advanced dual polarization...
Considerable efforts are being made in the area of interactive satellite broadcast services to mobiles, which range from the development of specific communication standards to the realization of practical proof-of-concept prototypes. The main reasons for such a big interest lie in the fact that interactive satellite services are a large potential market with many possible applications. Frequent and...
This paper gives an overview of a suitable communications system capable of efficiently use the available S-band allocation for pan-European Mobile Satellite Services (15 MHz in both uplink and downlink for each of the two licensed operators) to provide different classes of services such as interactive mobile broadcast services enhancing DVB-SH offer, messaging services for handheld and vehicular...
Advanced communication and broadcasting systems use heavily diversity techniques to improve service availability. To analyze the performance of systems using techniques such as time diversity or time interleaving, antenna diversity and angle diversity, a detailed knowledge of the channel characteristics is essential. Especially the statistical analysis and the evaluation of the slow fading effect...
In this paper, we propose an enhanced cooperative transmit diversity scheme in integrated mobile satellite service (MSS) systems. The proposed scheme is an efficient technique to adapt various power differences between a satellite signal and CGC signals, depending on the position of user equipments in integrated MSS systems. In the proposed scheme, we utilize modified space-time block coding (STBC)...
In this study, the Symbol error rate (SER) performance of cooperative based downlink satellite system with single terrestrial relay is investigated by using amplify-and-forward cooperation protocol over non identical fading channels. A closed form expression of exact SER over non identical fading channels is derived for M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) and M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)...
This paper summarises the results of several sessions of measurements executed in the context of the research project named “J-ORTIGIA”. The scope of the project was to validate all kinds of hybrid reception supported by the DVB-SH able to counteract fading in satellite and terrestrial environments. The results of the measurements have also contributed to the 2nd issue of the DVB-SH Implementation...
The new generation multi-spot Ka band satellites increase dramatically the offer of capacity whose cost is consequently reduced and give promising perspectives for fix interactive broadband services and mobile services. However, if on one hand the market and deployment of fix interactive broadband services definitely benefit from Ka band, on the other hand concerning mobile services the drawback of...
In this paper we investigate the degradation in FEC performance of LTE and WiMAX air-interfaces in satellite mobile channels due to lack of sufficient time diversity caused by the use of a short transmit time interval (TTI). We then propose a generalized `split multicode transmission' technique to overcome this problem without any reduction in the achievable user data rate. Simulation results are...
The recent emergence of satellite and terrestrial integrated mobile systems raises new challenges for interference coordination between satellite and terrestrial users. The terrestrial component aims at improving the satellite coverage in highly populated areas where satellite communications often suffer from a high blocking factor caused by the buildings. The term “integrated system” refers to a...
This paper analyzes the possibility to perform joint frame synchronization and code acquisition for the DVB-RCS mobile system. Since the standard foresees the adoption of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum techniques, novel detectors able to cope with the scenario at hand are proposed. Comparison in terms of Mean Acquisition Time and complexity are carried out, and the best solution in terms of performance...
DVB-SH (Digital Video Broadcasting- Satellite Handled) is a broadcasting standard dedicated to hybrid broadcasting systems combining a satellite and a terrestrial part. On the satellite part, dedicated interleaving and time slicing mechanisms are proposed to mitigate the effects of Land Mobile Satellite (LMS) channel, based on a convolutional interleaver. Depending on the parameters of this interleaver,...
In this paper, we investigate the benefits of uniform circular arrays (UCAs) as an alternative antenna deployment to uniform linear arrays (ULA), which are commonly applied for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We consider a MIMO satellite link with focus on the Line-of-Sight (LOS) signal component of the MIMO channel between two geostationary satellites and a mobile earth terminal equipped...
This paper deals with design of the appropriate time domain equalizer based on DVB-S2 specification for mobile application. Firstly, we consider different ISI effect under various channel condition through field measurement. With reflection of channel effect, we suggest adaptive filter as channel condition and synchronization step mode like code start/hot start. Finally, we implement the blind FS...
Networking has experienced tremendous changes. Once dedicated to one single type of services, technologies are now offering integrated services: we want to have access to any services anywhere. One challenge is the mobility, with 3G terrestrial offers beginning to be successful. In such a context, satellite systems appear as a real opportunity since they may fill the gap between dense connected areas...
Mobile terminals communicating through satellite suffer from low channel quality due to the combination of slow and fast fading and limited battery power. Moreover, the advanced applications proliferating over such terminals forbids the use of feedback based packet retransmission schemes over satellite due to their high latency, exceeding three times the round trip time. These feedback based packet...
