Satellite DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) uses the Cap Filler(GF) that provides a service to the wave shade area of the satellite signal that is a non-line of sight area. The GF is the repeater and the Satellite DMB Systems certainly must construct the GF Network toguarantee the movement reception of the terminal. As the coverage of the GF is formed the Cell or Sector, when the multiple GF is established to be contiguous, the problem of the interference will be able to occur. This paper describes the Satellite DMB system and the GF, and it investigate the design fundamentals plan of the GF Network that it will be able to reduce this problem. As a result, in case of the distance that GF and terminal unit is above 4.6Km, service is not provided because of quality degradation according to mutual interference.

In this paper, System performance parameters such as throughput, blocking probability and delay have been analyzed and expressed as a function of demanding traffic and service termination, probability, and we centers our discussion at particular downlink port of satellite switch which is capable of switching the individual spot beam and processing the information signals in the packet satellite communications with demand assigned multiple access technique. Delay versus throughput as a function of traffic parameters with several service termination probability can be derived via mathematical formulation and the relative differences of transmission delay is also compared.

GPS(Global positioning system) system is widely used in artificial satellite, ground controlled approach system as well as in end-user environment such as in the automobile. It is exposed to a very diverse environment and consists of many complicated components and therefore needs careful approach to the enhancement of reliability of the item. In this article reliability standards for the GPS system are established in terms of quality certification tests and failure rate tests.

A different alternative method for simulating bit error rate(BER) performance of Satellite Digital Multimedia Broadcasting(DMB) in tunnel environments is presented. The method based on a channel model obtained by ray-tracing is able to support BER estimation over the channel presents arbitrary statistics that are difficult to fit to an analytic expression. The BER performance for System E over the tunnel fading channel that obtained by ray-tracing is predicted by the monte-carlo method. It can be observed that the BER performance for a straight tunnel channel is better than that for a line-of-sight(LOS) area in curved tunnel. Also, the BER performance for LOS areas in a curved tunnel outperforms that for non-line-of-sight(NLOS) areas in a curved tunnel. The BER performances for straight, curved LOS and curved NLOS tunnel channels are better than that for a Rayleigh channel(K=0) and less than that for a Rician channel with K=3. Moreover, for BER=10-3, it can be seen that there is approximately a $1{\sim}1.5\;dB$ difference between those three types of tunnel channels and a Rayleigh channel.

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of various diversity techniques which can contribute to provide efficient multimedia broadcasting services via hybrid/integrated satellite and terrestrial network. Space-time coding can achieve the diversity gain in a multi-path environment without additional bandwidth requirement. Recent study results reported that satellite systems can achieve high diversity gains by appropriate utilization of STC and/or forward error correction. Based on these previous study results, we present various cooperative diversity techniques by combing STC and rate compatible turbo codes in order to realize the transmit diversity for the mobile satellite system. The satellite and several terrestrial repeaters operate in unison to send the encoded signals, so that receiver may realize diversity gain. The results demonstrated in this paper can be utilized in future system implementation.

In this paper, we introduce Satellite Digital Multimedia Broadcasting(S-DMB) system and show the method increasing the channel capacity. To reduce the burden that has to change the existing system, the system has to be offered the Backward-compatibility. This paper show the method using hierarchical 16APSK modulation. And to obtain the reasonable BER performance between existing path(we call high priority) and additional path(we call low priority).

Satellite-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting(S-DMB) systems are single frequency networks which consist of a satellite and gap fillers. Though gap fillers are required to extend the coverage to NLOS(Non Line-of-Sight) area, the receiver performance can be degraded with a limited number of fingers due to the increased number of multi-paths. The paper proposes to use frequency domain equalizer(FDE) instead of conventional Rake receiver, where the guard interval is not considered in order to minimize the impact on the current S-DMB systems. Through a campaign of simulations, it is found that the proposed FDE is less sensitive to the number of gap fillers compared to the conventional Rake receiver, and can achieve a greater channel capacity in most channel environments.
