위성 통신은 지상 무선국과 위성 사이의 통신으로, 지상 무선국을 유기적으로 활용함으로써 효율적인 위성 통신이 가능하다. 무선 통신은 이동성, 지형 및 방해 신호가 중요한 성능 결정 요인이며, 그리드 네트워크의 한 요소이다. 따라서 그리드 네트워크의 지속적인 연구 성과를 차기 위성 통신에 적용할 수 있을 것이다. 군 통신은 무선 시스템을 기반으로 사용하기에, 군 통신에서 많이 사용하고 있는 라우팅 프로토콜, OSFP (Open Short Path First) 를 적용하여 그리드 네트워크의 성능 향상을 위한 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 본 논문에서는 BER (Bit Error Rate) 및 라우터 수에 따른 성능 변화와 그에 의한 네트워크의 MSS (Maximum Segment Size)를 연구하였으며, 그 결과를 제시하였다. 연구 결과를 통하여 다양한 BER 및 라우터 수에서 최적의 MSS를 확인할 수 있었다.

The military satellite communication of ROK military, ANASIS is designed for analog data such as voice and streaming data. ANASIS cannot fully support ALL-IP communications due to its long propagation delay. The next generation satellite communication system is being designed to overcome the limitation. Next generation satellite communications system considers both high-speed and low-speed networks to support various operating environment. The low-speed satellite supports both broadband and narrow-band communication. This network works as the infrastructure for of wide-area internetworking over multiple AS's in the terrestrial network. It requires minimum satellite frequency and minimum power and works without PEP and router. In this paper, we propose a network operation structure to enable the inter-operation between high and low-speed satellite networks. In addition, we propose a data link protocol for low speed satellite networks.

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications has become a crucial technology for next-generation communication networks owing to its hyperconnectivity capabilities. We examine the progress and application areas of LEO satellite communication services. The LEO satellite communication industry has transitioned from being predominantly driven by governments and institutions to being led by the private sector, following the trajectory of the NewSpace movement. Leading corporations such as SpaceX Starlink and Eutelsat OneWeb are deploying LEO satellite networks to offer internet services, while Telesat is preparing to establish its satellite communication network. LEO satellite communications is expected to have a major impact on various sectors of society, particularly for upcoming sixth-generation services. Therefore, the South Korean government must promptly formulate policy support strategies aimed at invigorating the LEO satellite communication industry. This can be achieved through initiatives such as bolstering research and development and extending corporate assistance.

Satellite digital multimedia broadcasting (S-DMB) systems use gap fillers (GFs) to provide wireless multimedia services to non-line-of-sight locations. GFs act as repeaters, and S-DMB systems require GF networks in order to guarantee mobile reception. Each GF covers a cell or sector. In order to provide contiguous coverage of an area comprising two or more cells or sectors, multiple GFs are needed. However, when multiple GFs are situated close to each other, interference is likely to occur. As a result, in this study, we have investigated system-level environments for planning the design of interference-free GF networks in S-DMB systems. Our investigations revealed that S-DMB services are unavailable because of quality deterioration caused by interference when the delay attributable to a GF and the satellite signals exceeds ${\pm}$256 chips and the distance between the GF and its reception terminal is greater than 4.6 km. On the basis of this analysis, we conducted a field test that confirmed that the above-mentioned time delay can be controlled in such a way as to ensure high quality S-DMB services.

This paper presents a new algorithm called the adaptive logarithmic increase and adaptive decrease algorithm (A-LIAD), which mainly addresses the Round-Trip Time (RTT) fairness problem in satellite networks with a very high propagation delay as an alternative to the current TCP congestion control algorithm. We defined a new increasing function in the fashion of a logarithm depending on the increasing factor ${\alpha}$, which is different from the other logarithmic increase algorithm adopting a fixed value of ${\alpha}$ = 2 leading to a binary increase. In A-LIAD, the ${\alpha}$ value is derived in the RTT function through the analysis. With the modification of the increasing function applied for the congestion avoidance phase, a hybrid scheme is also presented for the slow start phase. From this hybrid scheme, we can avoid an overshooting problem during a slow start phase even without a SACK option. To verify the feasibility of the algorithm for deployment in a high-speed and long-distance network, several aspects are evaluated through an NS-2 simulation. We performed simulations for intra- and interfairness as well as utilization in different conditions of varying RTT, bandwidth, and PER. From these simulations, we showed that although A-LIAD is not the best in all aspects, it provides a competitive performance in almost all aspects, especially in the start-up and packet loss impact, and thus can be an alternative TCP congestion control algorithm for high BDP networks including a satellite network.

위성 통신은 무선 채널을 통한 광역 브로드캐스팅 특성으로 인하여 보안에 취약한 약점을 가지고 있음에도 불구하고, 위성 통신을 위한 보안 기법으로는 지상 통신에서 사용해 오던 상위 계층에서의 암호화를 제외하고 많은 방법이 알려져 있지 않다. 특히 물리계층에서의 재밍, 스푸핑 신호 공격 빈도가 증가함에 따라 이에 대한 대응 기술 개발이 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 위성통신망 보안 문제에 대해서 상위 계층과 물리 계층에서의 대응책에 대해 각각 정리하고, 사물인터넷 등의 지상망 적용을 위해 정보이론 관점에서 개발되고 있는 물리 계층 보안 기법의 최근 연구 결과에 대해 알아본다. 교차 계층 접근 방식을 포함하여, 위성 통신보안을 향상시킬 수 있는 향후 연구 방향을 제시한다.

본 논문에서는 위성/지상 겸용 망에서 위성 망과 지상 망간 주파수를 효율적으로 공유할 수 있도록 기여하는 최적의 자원 할당 방식에 대한 성능을 비교 분석한다. 제안된 방식은 동일한 주파수를 사용하는 위성 빔과 인접 빔 내 지상 셀 시스템 간 발생할 수 있는 간섭을 경감시킴과 동시에 망 내 발생한 트래픽 요구량을 만족시키기 위해 필요한 전력을 최적화하여 주파수 자원 이용 효율을 향상시킬 수 있다. 이와 같은 겸용 망에서는 각 시스템 간 상이한 트래픽 환경 및 업/하향링크 환경에 따라 주파수를 공유하는 위성과 지상 시스템 간 간섭 환경이 달라질 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 위성/지상 겸용 망에서의 업/하향링크 환경을 가정한 성능을 비교 분석함으로써 보다 실제 통신 환경에서의 제안된 알고리즘에 대한 성능의 우수성을 보인다.

The recent explosion in the number of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites launched to space allows to easily anticipate that the number of satellites in orbit will sustain a dramatic increase. As satellite components are integrated and unified with terrestrial cellular networks, they will play a key role in providing coverage and resilience for future cellular networks. We provide a brief overview of typical scenarios and network architectures for cellular-based LEO satellite communication systems. In addition, we outline 3GPP standardization trends in non-terrestrial networks and satellite access based on 5G/5G Advanced systems and analyze future evolution prospects of cellular-based satellite communication systems.

The satellite networks provide global coverage. The integration of terrestrial networks with a satellite network is the most attractive approach to develop a global communication system. The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is intended to be the system that will merge the internet with the telecom world. A user with a dual-mode terminal can access both the satellite network and terrestrial network. The seamless handoff between two networks and a user's QoS level is the major issue concerning this integration. In this paper, we propose IMS-based satellite/terrestrial integrated network architecture for a global communication system. Based on the proposed architecture, an inter-network handoff and end-to-end soft QoS procedure is discussed. Our proposed soft QoS scheme is also analyzed to calculate the number of rejected calls.

In this paper, we analyze the capability of satellite broadcasting systems to offer different levels of quality of service (QoS). We focus on the European telecommunications standards institute satellite digital radio and digital video broadcasting satellite handheld (DVB-SH) standards, which have recently been proposed for satellite broadcasting communications. We propose a strategy to provide different levels of QoS for the DVB-SH standard on the basis of an extension of the interleaving scheme, referred to as molded interleaver, which supports low latency service requirements for interactive services. An extensive analysis based on laboratory measurements shows the benefits of this solution. We also present a multilevel coding (MLC) scheme with multistage decoding designed for broadcasting communications as an alternative to the existing standards, where services with different levels of QoS are provided. We present a graphical method based on mutual information for the design and evaluation of MLC systems used for broadcasting communications. Extensive simulations for a typical satellite channel show the viability of the proposed MLC scheme. Finally, we introduce multidimensional constellations in the proposed MLC scheme in order to increase the number of different protection levels.
