Abstract

In this paper, a cross-layer interworking scheme for different protocols is proposed to provide an efficient internet services in very small aperture terminal (VSAT) based satellite communication systems. In addition, we implement the proposed interworking model and prove the feasibility of the proposed system. VSAT based satellite communication systems commonly use digital video broadcasting (DVB)-S2 standard. Unfortunately, DVB-S2 has inefficient parts to support IP based internet services because it has originally been designed to support broadcasting services. Generic stream encapsulation (GSE) protocol, which is a layer 2 protocol, has been proposed to mitigate this inefficiency. We propose a cross-layer interworking scheme to cooperate efficiently between IP and GSE protocols and between GSE protocol and DVB-S2, respectively. In addtion, we implement the proposed interworking schemes via computer softwares and prove the feasibility using NI-USRP and commercial DVB receiver.

본 논문에서는 VSAT 기반 위성통신 시스템에서 효율적인 인터넷 서비스 제공을 위한 계층 간 프로토콜 연동 구조 모델을 제시하고 이를 구현하여 제안된 모델의 동작을 검증한다. VSAT 기반 위성통신 시스템은 대부분 DVB-S2 표준을 사용한다. 그러나 DVB-S2는 방송 서비스 중심으로 설계되었기 때문에 IP 기반 인터넷 프로토콜을 지원하기에는 비효율성이 많이 존재한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 계층 2 프로토콜인 generic stream encapsulation (GSE)가 제정되었다. 본 논문은 IP 프로토콜과 GSE 프로토콜과의 연동, GSE 프로토콜과 DVB-S2와의 연동 방법에 대해 제안한다. 또한 컴퓨터 소프트웨어를 이용하여 제안된 계층 간 연동 프로토콜을 구현하고 NI사의 universal software radio peripheral (USRP) 및 상용 DVB 수신기를 통해 구현된 내용의 동작을 검증한다.
