일반적으로 유선망을 통한 인터넷 접속은 의료영상과 같이 대용량의 데이터를 전송하기에는 잔송속도가 매우 낮다. 인터넷의 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 고속의 위성 인터넷 통신을 위한 비대칭 위성 데이터 통신 시스템을 개발하였다. 비대칭 위성 데이터 통신은 데이터 경로가 비대칭인 것으로 데이터의 요청은 유선망을 통하고 대용량 데이터의 수신은 위성을 통하는 방식이다. 본 비대칭 위성 데이터 통신 시스템은 기존의 유선망에 비해 약 10-30배의 전송속도 향상의 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 인터넷을 통해 인증된 모든 병원으로부터 원격 의료를 수행할 수 있는 웹 기반의 원격의료시스템을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 Java를 이용하여 개발하였으며 별도의 도구를 구입하지 않더라도 넷스케이프와 같은 웹 브라우저를 통해 세계 어디에서나 의료 영상과 정보를 접속하고 검색할 수 있는 기능을 가지고 있다. 원격의료시스템의 전송 속도를 향상시키기 위해 JPEG을 통해 영상을 압축하였다. 결론적으로 우리는 제안한 비대칭 위성기술과 웹 기술을 이용하여 고속의 범용 원격의료시스템을 개발할 수 있었으며 이를 이용하여 의료영상시스템을 병원내부용도에서 범용의 원격의료시스템으로 그 범위를 확장시킬 수 있었다.

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.

As a crucial development direction for the sixth generation of mobile communication networks (6G), Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks exhibit characteristics such as low latency, seamless coverage, and high bandwidth. However, the frequent changes in the topology of LEO satellite networks complicate communication between satellites, and satellite power resources are limited. To fully utilize resources on satellites, it is essential to determine the association between satellites before power allocation. To effectively address the satellite association problem in LEO satellite networks, this paper proposes a satellite association-based resource allocation algorithm. The algorithm comprehensively considers the throughput of the satellite network and the fairness associated with satellite correlation. It formulates an objective function with logarithmic utility by taking the logarithm and summing the satellite channel capacities. This aims to maximize the sum of logarithmic utility while promoting the selection of fewer associated satellites for forwarding satellites, thereby enhancing the fairness of satellite association. The problems of satellite association and power allocation are solved under constraints on resources and transmission rates, maximizing the logarithmic utility function. The paper employs an improved Kuhn-Munkres (KM) algorithm to solve the satellite association problem and determine the correlation between satellites. Based on the satellite association results, the paper uses the Lagrangian dual method to solve the power allocation problem. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm enhances the fairness of satellite association, optimizes resource utilization, and effectively improves the throughput of LEO satellite networks.

In this paper, a rerouting-controlled ISL (Inter-Satellite link) handover protocol for LEO satellite networks (RCIHP) is proposed. Through topological dynamics and periodic characterization of LEO satellite constellation, the protocol firstly derives the ISL related information such as the moments of ISL handovers and the intervals during which ISLs are closed and cannot be used to forward packet. The information, combined with satellite link load status, is then been utilized during packet forwarding process. The protocol makes a forwarding decision on a per packet basis and only routes packets to living and non-congested satellite links. Thus RCIHP avoids periodic rerouting that occurs in traditional routing protocols and makes it totally unnecessary. Simulation studies show that RCIHP has a good performance in terms of packet dropped possibility and end-to-end delay.

An enhanced irregular repetition slotted ALOHA (IRSA) protocol is proposed by using polarization characteristic of satellite link and MIMO detection in low earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks, which is dubbed polarized MIMO IRSA (PM-IRSA). In the proposed scheme, one or two packets in one slot can be decoded by employing polarized MIMO detection, and more than two collided packets in multiple slots which can construct the virtual MIMO model can be decoded by the MIMO detection algorithm. The performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed with the density evolution (DE) approach and the degree distribution is optimized to maximize the system throughput by using a differential evolution. Numerical results certify our analysis and show that the normalized throughput of the proposed PM-IRSA can achieve 1.89 bits/symbol.

In Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks, satellites operate fast and the inter-satellite link change period is short. In order to sense the spectrum state in LEO satellite networks in real-time, a space-based satellite network intelligent spectrum sensing algorithm based on artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed, while Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites are introduced to make fast and effective judgments on the spectrum state of LEO satellites by using their stronger arithmetic power. Firstly, the visibility constraints between LEO satellites and GEO satellites are analyzed to derive the inter-satellite link building matrix and complete the inter-satellite link situational awareness. Secondly, an ANN-based energy detection (ANN-ED) algorithm is proposed based on the traditional energy detection algorithm and artificial neural network. The ANN module is used to determine the spectrum state and optimize the traditional energy detection algorithm. GEO satellites are used to fuse the information sensed by LEO satellites and then give the spectrum decision, thereby realizing the inter-satellite spectrum state sensing. Finally, the sensing quality is evaluated by the analysis of sensing delay and sensing energy consumption. The simulation results show that our proposed algorithm has lower complexity, the sensing delay and sensing energy consumption compared with the traditional energy detection method.

Satellite based communication is networks in which users in a wide area can access without wired-based ground infrastructure. In particular, the need is emerging due to the recent Ukraine-Russia war. Satellite network systems acquire data that is difficult to observe on Earth as well as communication networks and are also used for research and development, which allows additional data to be produced. However, due to the nature of communication networks existing in outer space, certain vulnerabilities are revealed, and attacks based on them can be exposed. In this paper, we analyze vulnerabilities that may arise due to the nature of satellite communication networks and describes current research, countermeasures, and future research directions.
