In this paper, a new interleaving method for spatially-multiplexed multi-input-multi-output (SM-MIMO) scheme in an integrated mobile satellite and terrestrial system is proposed. In the proposed scheme, the transmitted bits for satellite path are interleaved in an innovative way to make sure that bits multiplied with different channel gains will be located alternatively in one received codeword after demapping, in order to compensate the performance degradation due to high-correlation of the satellite path. In addition, the interleaver can be implemented in a computationally efficient way and with the minimum time delay.

위성 ATM 망에서 TCP/IP 기반의 응용 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 위성의 긴 전송지연과 이성 채널의 버스트 오류 특성에 따른 정확한 전송 성능의 영향과 분석이 요구되며, 아울러 성능 목표치가 제시되어야 한다. 본 논문은 2Mbps급 KOREASAT위성을 이용한 위성망과 지상망이 상호 연동된 실제 위성/지상 ATM LANE(LAN Emulation)을 구현하고, 위성 채널의 Eb/No와 TCP 소켓 버퍼 크기, 그리고 전송 메시지 크기를 바꾸어 가면서 그때의 TCP/IP 트래픽과 FTP의 전송성능을 비교 분석하였다. 아울러 IPoA(IP over ATM)기반의 영상회의 서비스에 대한 전송 품질 및 메시지 전달 특성 등을 분석하였다. 연구결과 TCP 소켓 버퍼 크기가 증가할 때 TCP의 전체 성능이 증가함을 알 수 있으나 제한된 최대 윈도우 크기 64kbytes와 위성채널의 오류 특성으로 인해 실제 최대 전송속도는 이론상의 목표치를 달성하지 못함을 보여 주었다. 또한 2Mbps 위성링크에서 Eb/No가 6dB 이하에서는 실제적으로 제공할 수 있는 최대 전송성능의 50%이하로 떨어져 TCP/IP over ATM 서비스가 거의 불가능함을 보여주었다. FTP의 경우, 파일 크기가 작으면 최대 전송속도에 도달하기 전에 파일 전송이 완료되어 대역폭 이용의 효율성 측면에서 TCP/IP의 slow start 메케니즘이 적절하지 않음을 보여주었다. 이울러 IPoA영상회의 서비스에서도 Eb/No가 약 6.5dB 이하에서는 영상이 거의 정지되고, 메시지 전달시간도 ITU에서 권고하는 목표치를 훨씬 상회하여 서비스가 거의 불가능함을 보였다.

A novel pre-equalization method for terrestrial DTV transmitters is presented. A pre-equalizer has been used in transmitters to correct group delay and amplitude distortions caused by a channel filter. In the proposed pre-equalizer, an equation-error adaptive IIR filtering scheme is adopted unlike the conventional pre-equalization using FIR filtering schemes. The pole-zero modelling property of IIR filters improves the signal-to-noise ratio and may deal with diverse linear distortions existing in DTV transmitters as well as the channel filter distortion. Simulation results show that the proposed IIR pre-equalizer performs better than the FIR pre-equalizer in terms of the residual mean-square error.

406MHz and INMARSAT-E EPIRB facility transmits the distress alerts by the relay of the polar-satellites and INTELSAT, but may cause the probability of delayed transmission because of the orbital period and not compliance with the implementation of GMDSS rules for small ships in A1 area.. Digital Selective Calling forms a critical part of the terrestrial elements of the GMDSS system and ensures the reliability and the efficiency in the system. In this paper, we suggests that new DSC EPIRB in the VHF band to overcome this defect for small ships in A1 area, and analyze the ITU-R recommendations and technical characteristics, design and implement the algorithm of calling sequences, frequency synthesizer for the RF signal and FSK moulation signals.

The most of the CDMA mobile communication depends on the GPS for the time synchronization. Then, we must prepare alternative system against the unusable GPS like a unexpectable accident or strategic purpose by the USA government. In this study, we have constructed ground test segment for the time synchronization system using the geostationary satellite. In addition. we have designed, manufactured and tested the transmitting and receiving board to receive 1 PPS signal from atomic clock for transmitting stored data in buffer to satellite modem and to produce 1 PPS signal from satellite modem for measuring time delay.

As the energy generated by earthquake, tsunami, etc. propagates through the air and disturbs the electron density in the ionosphere, the perturbation can be detected by analyzing the ionospheric delay in satellite signal. The electron density in the ionosphere is affected by various factors such as solar activity, latitude, season, and local time. To distinguish from the anomaly, therefore, it is required to inspect the normal trend of the ionosphere. Also, as the perturbation magnitude diminishes by distance it is necessary to develop an appropriate algorithm to detect long-distance disturbances. In this paper, normal condition ionosphere trend is analyzed via IONEX data. We selected monitoring value that has no tendency and developed an algorithm to effectively detect the long-distance ionospheric disturbances by using the lasting characteristics of the disturbances. In the end, we concluded the $2^{nd}$ derivative of ionospheric delay would be proper monitoring value, and the false alarm with the developed algorithm turned out to be 1.4e-6 level. It was applied to 2011 Tohoku earthquake case and the ionospheric disturbance was successfully detected.

Due to the increasing demand of network convergence, in future, hybrid/integrated satellite and terrestrial systems will play an important role. In that case, compatibilities between the satellite and terrestrial systems are very important for efficiency of the systems. 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) is one of the 4G system. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce the design of interleaver for mobile satellite system based 3GPP LTE specification. The 4G system including the LTE specification adopted adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) schemes for efficient usage of resources, and the updating interval of resource allocation is an order of msec. However, because of the long round trip delay of satellite systems, we cannot employ the same AMC scheme specified for the terrestrial system, and thus it cannot effectively counteract to short term fadings. Therefore, in order to overcome these problems, we propose an interleaver scheme combined with AMC. We present the interleaver design results considering mobile satellite system based on the LTE and analyze the simulation results.

The design on the Telemetry Ground System for launch of KSLV(Korea Space Launch Vehicle) in the korean Space center has been conducted in this study. For the optimized system design, first of all, the system deployment plan reflecting the topographic and geographic environments of the space center and launch vehicle characteristics has been developed. The RF link budget analysis for the maximum tracking range, requirement for receiving subsystem including antenna subsystem, requirement for data processing subsystem are also analyzed based on the On-Board Telemetry characteristics and launch vehicle parameters. Based on those analysis, telemetry ground system containing tracking/receiving subsystem, recording subsystem and data processing subsystem, timing subsystem, calibration subsystem and monitoring and control subsystem are designed. Futhermore, the analysis for the maximum permissible data latency and communication protocol between each telemetry station and control center are conducted and the entire system is designed so that the major telemetry parameters selected to the best quality are provided in real time to the control center(RCC, RSC) for the launch mission operation.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a network system for UAV for multiple clients that enables long-range operation based on a commercial mobile network. A prototype data modem is developed with a commercial embedded M2M module in order to provide an access to the mobile network. A central server with a database is constructed to record all of real-time flight and video data and communicate with a ground control system. A GCS is developed for the central control, the single UAV and the smart phone version to be used for different purposes. Performance tests were progressed for data delay, video frame rate and state of clients. Flight tests were also performed to verify the reliability of the modem with respect to altitude.
