Abstract

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.

위성통신은 상공에 있는 인공위성을 통신의 중계기로 이용한 통신 방법으로 통신 범위가 광범위하고 고속 데이터를 전송할 수 있어 차세대 통신으로 각광받고 있다. 하지만 지상과 위성 간의 거리가 멀어 전파 지연 시간이 매우 길고 패킷이 손상된다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 패킷 손상을 보완하기 위하여 Link Relay H-ARQ 방식을 적용하였다. 또한, 지연 시간을 보완하는 새로운 방식인 Modified Link Relay H-ARQ 방식을 제안한다. 위성통신의 채널 구현을 위해 Markov 채널을 적용하여 성능을 분석해 본 결과, Link Relay H-ARQ 방식을 적용한 경우 BER과 PER 성능이 향상되고, Modified Link Relay H-ARQ 방식을 적용한 경우 Throughput 성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.
