Satellite Communication Fundamentals
Construction of a satellite systemSpace segment: satellites
• Geostationary orbit (GSO)• Nongeostationary orbit (NGSO)
– Medium earth orbit (MEO)– Low earth orbit (LEO)
Ground segment • Gateway stations (GSs)• Network control center (NCC)• Operation control centers (OCC)
![Page 7: Survey of Satellite-Based Internet](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062723/56813ec7550346895da92c4b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Survey of Satellite-Based Internet 7
Orbit Selection
GSO option: Larger Coverage (1/3 of Earth’s Surface)
Distance challenge:• Large delay (round-trip delay 250-280 ms)• Large propagation loss (requires higher transmitting powers
and antenna gains)
NGSO option: Smaller Delay (LEO round-trip delay ~20ms)
Variable looking angle challenge:• Requires sophisticated tracking techniques or, most of the
times, omni-directional antennas.• Requires support to handoff from one satellite to another.

Frequency Bands
C Band (4-8 GHz): very congested already.
Ku Band (10-18 GHz): Majority of DBS systems, as well as current Internet DTH systems (DirectPC and Starband).
Ka band (18-31 GHz): Offers higher bandwidth with smaller antennas, but suffers more environmental impairments and is less massively produced as of today (more expensive) when compared to C and Ka.

Satellite Payload
Bent pipe Satellites act as repeaters. Signal is amplified and retransmitted
but there is no improvement in the C/N ratio, since there is no demodulation, decoding or other type of processing. No possibility of ISL, longer delay due to multiple hops.
Onboard processing (OBP) Satellite performs tasks like demodulation and decoding which
allow signal recovery before retransmission (new coding and modulation). Since the signal is available at some point in baseband, other activities are also possible, such as routing, switching, etc. Allows ISL implementation.

Case Study: Teledesic
Constellation consists of 288 satellites in 12 planes of 24 satellites.Ka-band system. Uplink operates at 28.6–29.1 GHz, downlink at 18.8–19.3 GHz. It usesSignals at 60 GHz for ISLs between adjacent satellites in each orbital plane.Full OBP and OBS (on-board switching)."Internet in the sky."Offers high-quality voice, data, and multimedia information services. QoS performance designed for a BER < 10–10.Multiple access is a combination of multifrequency TDMA (MF-TDMA) on the uplink and asynchronous TDMA (ATDMA) on the downlink.
