위성에서 생성된 원격측정데이터를 지상으로 전송하는 다운링크 방식에는 저속 전송방식과 고속 전송방식이 있다. 저속 전송방식에서는 실시간 데이터만 전송되고 고속 전송방식에서는 실시간 데이터와 함께 대용량메모리에 저장된 데이터를 동시에 전송할 수 있다. 정상적인 경우 고속 전송방식으로 운영되어 실시간 데이터와 함께 대용량메모리에 저장된 데이터에서 마지막으로 전송된 지점부터 새로 저장된 지점까지 전송하는 방식으로 운영된다. 대용량메모리는 주/부 2개의 탑재컴퓨터에 각각 탑재되어 사용되는데, 사용되는 메모리가 변경되는 경우 이에 따라 다운링크 채널 및 해당 채널의 전송속도도 변경해 주어야 한다. 지상에서 변경하는 경우, 사용되는 메모리 및 전송방식을 고려하여 이에 따른 명령절차를 수행해야 하고, 위성에서 사용되는 메모리를 자동적으로 변경하는 경우에는 다운링크 채널 및 해당 채널의 전송속도를 자동적으로 변경하여 지상에서 다운링크가 중단되는 경우가 없도록 되어 있다. 본 논문은 차세대 저궤도 위성 다운링크 제어 절차에 대한 것으로 생성된 원격측정데이터를 지상으로 전송하기 위한 다운링크 방식, 다운링크 채널변경 절차, On-Board에서 수행되는 다운링크 채널 자동변경방식에 대해서 소개한다.

TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) is currently used connection-oriented protocol as a typical transport layer protocol in the Internet. However, it has deficiency not be able to communicate with other TCP entities when any link included in the path is down because of single-homing on single path. SCTP(Stream Control Transmission Protocol) suggested as the new transport layer protocol supports multi-homing feature, which provides several paths between source and destination. It can communicate with other SCTP entities using alternate path even when any link on the primary path is down. This paper aims to measure and analyze the multi-homing effect of SCTP over TCP in case of link-down using NS-2 simulator. We classify SCTP into $SCTP_{single-homing}$ and $SCTP_{multi-homing}$ because SCTP with single-homing can also be used like TCP. We measured throughput and bandwidth utilization varying link-down duration, bandwidth, and RTT(round trip time), Simulation results show that throughput of $SCTP_{multi-homing}$ is more than that of TCP by 18 % on average. It is also shown that $SCTP_{multi-homing}$ on varying RTT and bandwidth increases the throughput of TCP by 'l7% and 9% on average, respectively in the link-down environment. In above cases, more or less difference between $SCTP_{single-homing}$ and TCP on throughput and bandwidth utilization was found To summarize, multi-homing effect of SCTP over TCP on throughput is about 18 % on average in the link-down environment This experimental result can be used as the benchmark in order to estimate the multi-homing effect of SCTP over TCP when the link-down happens in the real Internet.

A conceptual design on the link budget of TC&R RF subsystem which transfers command and telemetry data as RF signal between the ground system and the 2005SAT spacecraft is presented in this paper. In order to perform the analysis of the link budget, we divided the analysis process into two processes, i.e., uplink and downlink process. For the uplink the power flux density at the spacecraft and the margin of the command receiver are calculated. In the case of the downlink the downlink EIRP and the margin of C/ No and Eb / No at the ground station are calculated. Through the uplink performance analysis, the power at the command receiver has well efficient margin, and the margin of C/ No and Eb / No is also fully proper for the downlink case.

The most popular world wide web traffic in the Internet uses TCP as the transport layer protocol. Since TCP utilizes the single path, it can not communicate with the correspondent host during the link-down. On the other hand, SCTP can still communicate with the other SCTP entity by using alternate path even while the primary path is down. Most of previous studies have conducted the performance comparison research between TCP and SCTP by using typical file transfer. Since web traffic with self-similarity is characterized by the packet inter-arrival times and shape parameter affecting the size of web file in the Pareto distribution, it is necessary to perform the experiments considering these parameters. This paper aims to compare the throughput between TCP and SCTP while varying parameters reflecting the web traffic characteristics in link-down environment. Experimental results for web traffic using NS-2 simulator show that the throughput of SCTP using multi-homing is better than that of TCP. Simulation also shows that TCP is more affected than SCTP by mean inter-arrival and shape parameters with regard to the web traffic. These results can be applied to estimate the performance variation of web traffic due to the duration of link-down.

This paper proposes downlink blocking model and approximation equation using lower bound approximation in order to determine the proper guard band between cdma2000 1X and WCDMA in handover areas. The frequency sharing conditions obtained by the model and approximation equation on blocking probability proposed in the paper, are co-site of base station and guard band higher than 1 MHz. Also, the proposed equation is in the form of Q-function. It is an analytical solution overcoming the drawback of recalculation, belonged to Monte-Carlo technique.

There have been various research efforts to support the fairness between uplink and downlink of TCP streams in IEEE 802.11 networks. Existing methods, which have been effective for the fairness, however could not provide the solution for the unfairness caused by the situation in which a station which is having multiple TCP uplink streams monopolizes the uplink bandwidth. This paper proposes a method that AP allocates token buckets for each uplink TCP station. The proposed method is also able to support the fairness between the uplink and downlink. To remedy the underutilization which may happen under token bucket-based schemes, it allows the movement of redundant tokens among the token buckets. By controlling the token movements, it can balance the fairness and the utilization. Simulation results show that the proposed method is able to support the fairness of the TCP uplink stations, as well as the fairness between the uplink and downlink.

This paper addresses the fairness issue between uplink and downlink traffic in IEEE 802.11 WLANs. Some solutions in existing work try to solve this issue by giving smaller minimum contention window (CWmin) value to an AP compared to stations. In contrast to the existing solutions, a proposed algorithm in this paper aims at finding CWmin values that not only provides fairness between uplink and downlink traffic among stations but also achieves high throughput. For this, in the proposed algorithm, an AP checks the number of stations that have uplink and downlink traffic, respectively. Based on this information, the AP calculates optimal CWmin values and announces it to stations. Our simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms existing algorithms in terms of fairness and throughput.

This paper proposes a design of a wideband array antenna involving the downlink bands of fixed satellite service (FSS) and broadcasting satellite service (BSS) by applying two mixed patch sets. The proposed antenna is implemented on FR4 substrate by arranging rectangular patches in 6 by 2. To design a wideband antenna (10.7~12.75 GHz) covering both FSS downlink bands (10.7~10.95 GHz, 11.2~11.45 GHz) and BSS downlink bands (11.7~12.5 GHz, 12.2~12.75 GHz, 11.7~12.2 GHz), rectangular patches working at 11.5 GHz and 12.5 GHz are arranged alternately, and thus the proposed antenna can obtain a wide bandwidth equivalent to 30.8% of the center frequency. The proposed antenna was fabricated and measured, and the results are well matched with the simulated ones. From the performances, the proposed antenna can be applied to the receiving antenna for FSS and BSS downlinks.

A virtual network technology can provide a network reflecting the requirements of various services. The virtual network can distribute resources of the physical network to each virtual slice. An efficient resource distribution technique is needed to reflect the requirements of various services. Existing bandwidth distribution techniques can only control downlink traffic without taking traffic conditions on the network into account. Downlink and uplink share the same resources in a wireless network. The existing bandwidth distribution techniques assumed that all stations generate saturated traffic. Therefore, the existing bandwidth distribution technique cannot make traffic isolation in a virtual wireless network. In this paper, we proposed a traffic-based bandwidth control techniques to solve these problems. We applied Software-Defined Networking(SDN) to the virtual wireless network, monitored the traffic at each station, and searched for stations that generated unsaturated traffic. We also controlled both uplink and downlink traffics dynamically based on monitoring information. Our system can be implemented with legasy 802.11 clients and SDN-enabled APs. After the actual test bed configuration, it was compared to existing techniques. As a result, the distribution performance of the proposed technique was improved by 14% in maximum.
