In this paper, we studied hierarchical channel coding scheme using unequal error protection method for consecutively broadcastingservice under the rain attenuation of Ka band satellite broadcasting. Unlike time-sharing methods, which are design for different channel coding scheme in according to different modulation, unequal error protection method is made in such way that minimum distance between signals are different for importance of signals with same modulation. Consequently we proposed optimal method according to performance analysis.

This paper presents a simple dynamical prediction scheme of the signal level which is attenuated and varied due to rain fading in satellite communication links using above 10GHz frequency bands. The proposed prediction scheme has four functional blocks for discrete-time low-pass filtering, slope-based prediction, mean-error correction and hybrid fixed/variable prediction margin allocation. Through simulations using Ka-band attenuation data obtained from the data measured over Ku-band by frequency-scaling, it is shown that the slope-based prediction with the mean-error correction has as small standard deviation of prediction error as below 1 dB, and that the error is about 1.5 to 2.5 times as small as that without the mean-error correction. The hybrid prediction margin allocation requires smaller average margin than those of both fixed and variable methods.

이 연구는 Ka대역 위성방송 서비스를 제공할 때 발생하는 강우감쇠문제를 해결하기 위하여 MPEG-4 SVC 신호를 이용하는 방안에 대하여 고찰하였다. Ka대역 위성방송시스템은 DVB-S2 VCM 모드를 고려하였으며, JSCC (Joint Source Channel Coding) 기법을 이용하여, SVC신호를 Ka대역 위성방송시스템에 적용하였다. SVC신호는 Spatial Scalability, SNR Scalability 및 Temporal Scalability로 구분되어서, PSNR값의 변화에 따른 비트율 변화정도를 분석하였다. 비트율 변화율이 가장 큰 Spatial Scalability를 적용한 SVC신호가 Ka대역 위성방송서비스의 강우감쇠 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 제안되었으며, 이에 대한 분석이 수행되었다.

In geostationary satellite communications, which are widely used for broadcasting and communication, there is a path loss where the signal power on the path is largely reduced. It is important to consider rain attenuation when calculating link budget because the Ka band frequency is vulnerable to rain attenuation. In this study, rainfall trends were analyzed by using rainfall data from the year 2000 in four regions of Korea (Seoul, Incheon, Busan, Jeju) and the rainfall attenuation was calculated. This was used to analyse the satellite link budget and receiving performance for the down-link of the korea satellite COMS. In this study, the calculated G/T for the rainfall intensity of 0.5% per year using the rainfall data for 18 years increased by approximately $8.5dBK^{-1}$ compared to the ITU's zone-K rain model, and decreased by approximately $1dBK^{-1}$ compared to the precipitation data for 13 years from the TTA(Korea Telecommunications Technology Association). The results of this study can be used for the design of G/T in domestic-installed satellite ground station.

The 21.4-22.0GHz frequency band is used to broadcast satellite services in Region 1 and Region 3 in frequency distribution area. The use of this frequency band is according to the provision of the resolution 525 of WRC-03, this frequency band broadcasting service system transmits broadband radio-frequency signals. The trend of the Satellite launching plans for an using this frequency band is growing in worldwide. This frequency band requires fairly more transmit power than the Ku-band because of the rain attenuation of this frequency band is very extreme. An appropriable sharing criteria is required for this broadcast service to be operational.

The engineering of satellite communication systems at frequencies above 10GHz requires a method for estimating rain-caused outage probabilities on the earth-satellite path. A procedure for predicting a rain attenuation distribution from a point rainfall rate distribution is, therefore, needed. In order to predict rain attenuation on the satellite link, several prediction models such as ITU-R, Global, SAM, DAH model, have been developed and used at a particular propagation condition, they may not be appropriate to a propagation condition in Korean territory. In this paper, a new rain attenuation prediction method appropriate to a propagation condition in Korea is introduced. Based on the results from ETRI measurements, a new method has been derived for an empirical approach with an identification on the horizontal correction factor as in current ITU-R method, and the vertical correction factor has been suggested with decreasing power law as a function of rainfall rate. This proposed model uses the entire rainfall rate distribution as input to the model, while the ITU-R and DAH model approaches only use a single 0.01% annual rainfall rate and assume that the attenuation at other probability levels can be determined from that single point distribution. This new model was compared with several world-wide prediction models. Based on the analysis, we can easily know the importance of the model choice to predict rain attenuation for a particular location in the radio communication system design.

The QoS guarantee for the forward link in satellite communication networks is very important because there are a variety of packets with multiplexing. Especially, the packets are processed depending on the available bandwidth in satellite network changing the wireless channel state in accordance with weather condition. The DVB-S2 increases the transmission efficiency by applying the adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) techniques as a countermeasure of rain attenuations. However, the channel estimation algorithm is required to support the ACM techniques that select the MODCOD values depending on the feedback data transmitted by RCSTs(Return Channel via Satellite Terminal) because satellite communication networks have a long propagation delay. In this paper, we proposed the channel estimation algorithm using rain attenuation values and reference data and the packet scheduling scheme to support the QoS and fairness. As a result of performance evaluation, we showed that proposed algorithm exactly predicts the channel conditions and supports bandwidth fairness to the individual RCST and guarantees QoS for user traffics.

At satellite communication system for flood forecasting and warning, VSAT system needs to good performance for aquisition of rainfall and water-level data. But, it has difficult for obtaining good performance because of the rainfall attenuation. Thus, in this paper, we introduced the efficiency plan of the transmission power control for Mini-Hub Station.
