본 논문에서는 현재 운용중인 천리안 위성을 활용한 위성 통신용 공공 테스트베드 시스템 구성 및 서비스 이용 현황에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 공공 시범 서비스 운용을 통해 차세대 VSAT 서비스 제공 시 Ka 대역의 활용도가 높아짐에 따른 광대역 멀티미디어 서비스가 가능할 것으로 된다. 또한, 향후 위성을 통한 UHD 방송을 통해 방송서비스의 보편적 접근성 향상을 예상해 본다.

무궁화위성1호가 발사되어 운용 된지 13년이 되었다. 통신위성은 국가기간망의 구축은 물론 인터넷 서비스, 위성방송서비스 등 일반 이용자들에게 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공하는 데 큰 역할과 기여를 하여 오고 있다. 유선초고속인터넷 가입자망의 보급확대와 함께 위성인터넷 가입자의 급속한 감소 등으로 어려운 극면에 처하기도 하였으나 위성통신은 여전히 국가 중요 통신망 구성요소로 자리잡고 있다. 최초의 통신위성이 발사된 후 수개의 상업용통신위성이 발사되어 운용되고 있으나 위성통신서비스의 제도는 제자리 걸음을 하고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 위성통신서비스 중 소형위성통신기지국에 대한 서비스 제공현황과 제도운용현황을 토대로 문제점을 지적하고 이를 해소하기 위한 정책적대안을 제시한다.

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.

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.

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 article presents an overview of the key technologies in the communications payload of broadband LEO satellite communications systems. In recent years, new developments have been realized for LEO satellite communications. SpaceX's Starlink, a technology leader in this field, offers premium services with satellites carrying in-house developed communications payloads. OneWeb, Amazon, Telesat, and Boeing are also developing LEO satellite communications payloads. The communications payload consists of user link antennas, inter-satellite link communications equipment, feeder link antennas, and a digital processor. Highly sophisticated technologies of compact active phased array antennas for generating multiple hopping beams and light laser communication equipment for ultra-high-speed inter-satellite communication will be applied to next- generation payloads.

A communications satellite system placed in three-Lagrange points, $L_3$, $L_4$ and $L_5$, of the restricted three-body problem in Earth-Moon system is proposed in this paper. LEO satellite constellation has been another choice of communications system. The proposed system which is alternatives of limited geostationary orbit resources, has some weak points such as long distance from the Earth, relatively expensive launch cost, long delay time, more required power, and so on. It has good points like less efforts (fuel) for station keeping, less eclipses, etc. This system has limitations for applications to provide commercial services but it is still some attractive points.

On the satellite communication system, conventional key issues of control have been focused on the attitude and orbit control, monitoring and control of communication payload such as IOT(In-Orbit-Test) and CSM(Communication System Monitoring) and so on. As the vulnerabilities are being increased on the satellite communication network, security services are required to protect it against security violated attacks. In this paper, a security architecture for satellite communication network is presented in order to provide security services and mechanisms. Authentication protocol and encryption scheme are also proposed for spacecraft command authentication and confidentiality.
