For forward error correction, DVB-S2, which is the digital video broadcasting forward error coding and modulation standard for satellite television, uses a system based the concatenation of BCH with LDPC inner coding. In DVB-S2 the LDPC codes are defined for 11 different code rates, which means that a DVB-S2 LDPC decoder should support multiple code rates. Seven of the 11 code rates, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 8/9, and 9/10, are regular and the rest four code rates, 1/4, 1/3, 2/5, and 1/2, are irregular. In this paper we propose a flexible decoder for the regular LDPC codes. We combined the partially parallel decoding architecture that has the advantages in the chip size, the memory efficiency, and the processing rate with Benes network to implement a DVB-S2 LDPC decoder that can support multiple code rates with a block size of 64,800 and can configure the interconnection between the variable nodes and the check nodes according to the parity-check matrix. The proposed decoder runs correctly at the frequency of 200MHz enabling 193.2Mbps decoding throughput. The area of the proposed decoder is $16.261m^2$ and the power dissipation is 198mW at a power supply voltage of 1.5V.

Frame synchronization is achieved by correlation between received symbols and a preamble pattern which is periodically appended at a frame header. In this paper, we deal with a frame detection method complaint with satellite-based DVB-S2 system. In DVB-S2, frame synchronization is performed under the low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR), a large frequency offset which can be up to 20% of a symbol transmission rate and unknown modulation schemes ranging from QPSK to 32-APSK. In this environment, we propose a method combining differential correlation based on SOF and PLSC with an accumulated correlation method for the detection of frame structures. In addition, detection performances about mean acquisition time(MAT) and detection error probability are evaluated via computer simulations.

In this paper, a simple Carrier Frequency Recovery(CFR) scheme is introduced. In relating the use of consumer-grade equipment and satellite transmission environments, carrier frequency recovery have to recovery a large initial Carrier Frequency Offset(CFO), which is 20% normalized CFO, for DVB-S2 receivers. For these reasons, conventional CFR schemes for DVB-S2 systems need significant hardware complexity. Introduced CFR scheme employs Fitz algorithm for coarse CFR and recovers a coarse CFO accurately, and a simple pilot block correlation algorithm is employed for fine CFR. Introduced scheme reduce the number of multiplication operations by 80% and does not need any additional memory without degrading the achievable performance.

This paper proposes a novel LDPC code decoder architecture to improve throughput for DVB-S2, a second generation standard of ETSI for satellite broad-band applications. The proposed architecture clusters 360 bitnodes and checknodes into groups utilizing the property of IRA-LDPC code. Functional modules which perform calculations for bitnode groups and checknode groups have local memories and store the messages from the other type of functional modules connected by edges at their local memories. The proposed architecture can avoid memory conflicts by accessing stored messages sequentially, hence, increases throughput in the proposed DVB-S2 LDPC code decoder architecture. The proposed architecture was synthesized using the TSMC 90nm technology. Synthesis results show that throughput of the proposed architecture is improved by 104% and 478%, respectively, when compared with those of the architectures proposed by F. Kienle and J. Dielissen.

본 논문에서는 2009년 5월부터 유럽 DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting)를 중심으로 본격적으로 진행되고 있는 차세대 VSAT(Very Small Aperture Terminal) 시스템 표준기술인 DVB-RCS (Return Channel via Satellite) NG(Next Generation) 표준의 시스템 및 서비스 개요와 표준화 ad-hoc 기술 그룹회의에서 제안된 기술들에 대해서 소개하고자 한다. DVB-RCS NG 표준은 2008년 5월부터 DVB-RCS CM (Commercial Module)과 시스템 interoperability 테스트 관할 협의체인 유럽의 Satlabs를 중심으로 새로운 규격 작업을 위한 상업적 요구사항 선정 및 구체적인 서비스/시스템 모델을 수립하였다. DVB-TM (Technical Module)과 CM을 거쳐 최종적으로 SB(Steering Board)에서 2008년 10월에 승인을 받고 RCS ad-hoc 그룹은 study mission을 수행하게 되었다. 2008년 11월부터 DVB-RCS NG 규격을 위한 call for technology 작업, 제안된 기술에 대한 평가 방법, 이를 평가하기 위한 system그룹 및 study 그룹이 결성되어 2009년 1월에 call for technology가 공지되고 2009년 5월 4일까지 20개 기관으로부터 19개의 기고서가 제출되었다. 본 고에서는2009년 7월 회의까지 검토된 후보기술에 대한 소개와 향후, RCS NG 표준에서 유망한 기술에 대하여 다루고자한다.

We propose a soft QoS-based borrowing scheme for call admission control(CAC) in DVB-RCS(Digital Video Broadcast-Return Channel via Satellite). Some of the ongoing calls temporarily and fairly release bandwidths that can be used to accommodate a new call in an overloaded satellite network. The amount of bandwidth borrowed from each call is proportional to each user's critical bandwidth ratio, one of parameters for soft QoS mechanism. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the system performance in terms of call blocking probability and bandwidth utilization.

본 논문은 이동체에 대한 위성방송 및 인터넷 서비스를 지속적으로 제공하기 위해 기존의 DVB-S2 표준화에 DVB-H 와 DVB-T 를 결합한 새로운 DVB-SSP 표준화에 대한 연구를 하고 있다. 이동형 DVB-S2의 표준화는 DVB-SSP 라 불리며 최근에는 DVB-SH로 불리고 있다. 이는 이동체에 대해서 위성을 이용한 통신 방식을 규정하고 있으며, physical layer 와 upper layer 의 두 단계로 부호화 및 복호화하는 방식인 cross layer 부호화 방식을 적용하고 있다. 기존의 방식 경우, LDPC 복호후 CRC 검사를 수행하여 수신된 데이터에서 1 bit 의 오류에도 IP 패킷 모두를 삭제함으로써 복호시 비효율성을 나타낼 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 LDPC 복호기에 출력되는 LLR 값을 이용하여 IP 패킷 전체를 삭제하는 것이 아니라 LLR 값이 낮은 비트만 선택적으로 삭제하는 방식을 제안하며, 이를 시뮬레이션하여 기존의 CRC 방식과 비교하였다.

In this paper, we propose a Service-adaptive Tactical Data Transmission Protocol (STTS) based on Satellite Communications with narrow bandwidth. STTS is designed to provide additional field for scalability and scheduler for reliability of transport stream protocol based on digital broadcasting standard, DVB-S and DVB-S2. It is also verified the effects of lost data packets with narrow bandwidth through the simulator by traffic model and re-transmission of critical data, and checked the design considerations based on STTS system.

The sophistication and diversification of mission equipment for surveillance and reconnaissance is leading to a demand for large-capacity public data links. Overseas, a T4 class(274Mbps) common data link was applied to the Global hwak, a high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle, and various research and development are being conducted in Korea. In this paper, we propose a structure in which pilot is additionally applied to improve SNR performance while minimizing data transmission rate loss in the DVB-S2 frame structure, which is a european satellite broadcasting standard, for high-capacity transmission of T4 class or higher in the common data link. For the performance evaluation of the proposed structure, the performance of the DVB-S2 was compared and analyzed by simulating the UAV data link channel environment. As a result of simulation, 0.15% of transmission rate loss occurred at T4 class transmission rate compared to DVB-S2 in the proposed structure, but improved SNR reception performance of 0.2~0.3dB was confirmed in the UAV channel environment.

The salicylic acid-formaldehyde condensed copolymer (SAF) and the 3-carboxy-4-hydroxy benzyl methacrylate divinylbenzene copolymer (CHBM-DVB) were synthesized. The capacities of SAF and CHBM-DVB ion exchangers were 4.6meq/g and 3.9 meq/g, respectively. The adsorption of several heavy metal ions on these weakly acidic ion exchangers and the property of ion exchanger were discussed. The distribution coefficients in hydrochloric acid solution and the elution behavior of several heavy metal ions were also discussed.
