Abstract

Korean military is developing the next generation military satellite communications system in order to achieve the requirements of future military satellite communication such as high speed, high capacity, survivability, all IP networking, and on-the-move. In this paper, we survey and analyze the research interests about optimal resource allocation and IP networking such as MF-TDMA, random access, satellite IP routing, and PEP. Conventional researches have focused on the increase in channel throughput and efficiency. In addition to these measurements, we consider heterogeneous satellite terminals, full mesh topology, distributed network, anti-jamming, and the like which are the special characteristics of the next generation military satellite communications system. Based on this, we present key research issues and evaluation on the issues by simulation.

한국군은 미래 군 위성통신의 요구 사항에 걸맞은 한국형 군 위성통신 체계 구축을 위하여 고속대용량, 생존성 보장, All IP 통신, 기동성 보장과 같은 발전 방향을 목표로 차기 군 위성통신 체계를 개발하고 있다. 본 논문은 차기 군 위성통신 체계의 최적 자원 할당과 IP 네트워킹 기술에 집중하여, MF-TDMA 자원 할당, 랜덤 액세스, 위성/지상 연동망 구조, 그리고 PEP의 세부 연구 분야에 대하여 연구 내용 조사 및 분석을 실시하였다. 각 연구분야에 대한 기존 연구는 채널 효율 및 처리량의 증가를 위한 연구가 주를 이루고 있다. 이에 더하여 차기 군 위성통신 체계를 위한 연구는 이기종 단말, Full Mesh 환경, 분산망, 위성/지상 연동망, 항재밍 등의 특성 들을 고려해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 특수성을 고려하여 각 분야 별 핵심 연구 이슈들을 제시하고, 주요 이슈에 대하여는 모의실험을 통한 결과를 제시하였다.
