In general, two way satellite communication systems based on TDMA(Time Division Multiple Access) require network clock synchronization between hub station and remote terminals. This paper describes basic concepts for network clock synchronization based on NCR(Network Clock Reference) clock recovery scheme as suggested in DVB-S2/ RCS2 international standards. in addition, a new NCR insertion method has been proposed and evaluated in terms of supporting CCM mode as well as ACM mode which optimizes throughput by changing code rates and modulation types ranging from QPSK to 32-APSK.
