Satellite communication is a communication method using a satellite as a repeater communication on the air and have a communication range is wide and is possible to transmit high-speed data, so Satellite communication has been highlighted as the next generation communication. However, because the distance between the ground and the satellite is far away, there is a disadvantage that propagation delay time is very long and packet is damaged. Therefore, this study was applied to Link Relay H-ARQ system in order to complement the damage to the packet. Furthermore, we propose the Modified Link Relay H-ARQ scheme is a new scheme to supplementation the delay time. By applying the Markov channel for implementing a channel of satellite communications, the results of analyzing the performance, when applying the Link Relay HARQ scheme, BER and PER performance was improved, when applying the Modified Link Relay H-ARQ scheme, Throughput performance was confirmed improvement.

Recently, the demands for the satellite broadband mobile communication services are increased. To provide these services, mobile satellite communication systems for the passengers or crews on the high-speed moving vehicles, are being developed for the last several years especially in the Europe and North America. However, most of these systems can provide only several hundred kbps of transmission rate and this is not enough performance to provide satellite internet service for the group users such as passengers on the high-speed train. Moreover, service availability with these systems is limited to be rather low because they don't have any countermeasure scheme for the N-LOS environment which happens often along the railway. This paper describes mobile broadband satellite communication system, which is on the development, to provide high data-rate internet services to the high-speed trains. This system is applied with the inter-networking scenarios of both satellite/terrestrial network and satellite/gap-filler network so that it can provide seamless service even in the train operating environment, and these inter-networking schemes result in high service availability. And this system also has the countermeasure schemes, such as upper layer FEC and antenna diversity, for the short fading which is occurred periodically on the railway due to the power supplying structures so that it can provide high speed internet services. Mobile DVB-S2 technology which is now being standardized in the DVB is used for the forward-link transmission and DVB-RCS for the return-link.

Recently, with the advent of satellite communication technologies, the network access service through satellites has emerged as an alternative to existing ones. Of satellite access services including multimedia services, the high speed internet access service will be one of the important services. Particularly, the efficient transportation of real time internet traffic seems very essential. The aim of this research is to examine the applicability of the IETF RTP protocol in the satellite access network. The RTP has been developed for the QoS-met transportation protocol of real time traffic over the existing best-effort internet. This paper summarizes the RTP protocol, and describes the architecture of the implementation of the RTP. And also, the compressed RTP header protocol is discussed for the applicability to the satellite link.

Occasionally, MODEM test in satellite communication systems are needed. But Rx terminals in satellite communications are designed to obtain high SNR generally, therefore artificial bad conditions and environments are demanded for the test. One of the typical method is satellite output power reduction. Using noise generator can be another method. However, these costs a lot of money, time, and procedures in reality. In order to overcome these problems, this paper proposes an artificial noise generation method for MODEM test in satellite communication systems. First of all, SNR of a general heterodyne Rx terminal is calculated. Based on the calculation, a new model which is including variable attenuator is proposed to increase noise level. Simulation results illustrate the variable attenuator can control SNR, and these show that MODEM test in satellite communication systems be possible.

Frequency resource efficiency is important in satellite communication systems. One of the causes of a waste of frequency resource is bad flatness. In the case, flatness of satellite Tx terminals would be worse by ACI and guard band. In order to overcome this problem, this paper proposes a technique for frequency response equalization in satellite Tx terminals. First of all, a general linear polynomial expression which meets least squares of representative measurement data is calculated to interpolate unmeasured data. And then flatness can be adjusted using the polynomial expression. Simulation results illustrate adjusted data have lower peak to peak and standard deviation than original data, and these show that flatness be improved.

In Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks, satellites operate fast and the inter-satellite link change period is short. In order to sense the spectrum state in LEO satellite networks in real-time, a space-based satellite network intelligent spectrum sensing algorithm based on artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed, while Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites are introduced to make fast and effective judgments on the spectrum state of LEO satellites by using their stronger arithmetic power. Firstly, the visibility constraints between LEO satellites and GEO satellites are analyzed to derive the inter-satellite link building matrix and complete the inter-satellite link situational awareness. Secondly, an ANN-based energy detection (ANN-ED) algorithm is proposed based on the traditional energy detection algorithm and artificial neural network. The ANN module is used to determine the spectrum state and optimize the traditional energy detection algorithm. GEO satellites are used to fuse the information sensed by LEO satellites and then give the spectrum decision, thereby realizing the inter-satellite spectrum state sensing. Finally, the sensing quality is evaluated by the analysis of sensing delay and sensing energy consumption. The simulation results show that our proposed algorithm has lower complexity, the sensing delay and sensing energy consumption compared with the traditional energy detection method.

The satellite networks provide global coverage. The integration of terrestrial networks with a satellite network is the most attractive approach to develop a global communication system. The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is intended to be the system that will merge the internet with the telecom world. A user with a dual-mode terminal can access both the satellite network and terrestrial network. The seamless handoff between two networks and a user's QoS level is the major issue concerning this integration. In this paper, we propose IMS-based satellite/terrestrial integrated network architecture for a global communication system. Based on the proposed architecture, an inter-network handoff and end-to-end soft QoS procedure is discussed. Our proposed soft QoS scheme is also analyzed to calculate the number of rejected calls.

In this paper, we derive a reference error probability performance in the environment where mobile satellite terminal is operated. When the satellite terminal moves, shadowing occurs due to the surrounding obstacles and the BER is lowered. We use the Lutz model simulating the environment in which mobile satellite terminals operate The Lutz model combines the Rician distribution with the Suzuki model. The error probability is derived from the numerical analysis of two distribution functions. The simulated results using the measured results in the Korean Peninsula forest area were similar to the BER results obtained using the Lutz model. Intuitively, the approximated results are similar to the measured results. Numerically, the BER error is about 3e-4 or less at an SNR of 30dB.
