  • DVB-SSP is a new broadcasting system for hybrid satellite communications, which supports mobile handheld systems and fixed terrestrial systems. However, a critical factor must be considered in upper layer decoding which including erasure Reed-Solomon error correction combined with cyclic redundancy check. If there is only one bit error in an IP packet, the entire IP packet is considered as unreliable bytes, even if it contains correct bytes. IF, for example, there is one real byte error, in an If packet of 512 bytes, 511 correct bytes are erased from the frame. Therefore, this paper proposed two kinds of upper layer decoding methods; LLR-based decoding and hybrid decoding. By means of simulation we show that the performance of the proposed decoding algorithm is superior to that of the conventional one.

  • The current maritime data communications mainly depend on radio and satellite which have restrictions on data rate and cost. That leads to needs of novel relatively-high-speed data communication systems at sea just like on land. This paper proposes a routing protocol (MWR) for newly designed model of ship-to-ship communication networks at sea. The MWR protocol finds out an optimal route by selecting an optimal network for each specific application from overlapped networks of available wireless media at sea.

  • The satellite communication is an important method for maritime communications. Binary offset carrier (BOC) signal is a promising candidate of next generation global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). Synchronization of BOC signal is one of the most important processes to demodulate BOC signal in GNSS. However, in maritime environment, the synchronization of BOC signal is suffered from the problem of side-peak of BOC autocorrelation function and multipath fading caused by the sea surface reflection. In this paper, we proposed a novel synchronization scheme which can eliminate side-peak perfectly and is robust in multipath channel. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has better performance than conventional schemes in multipath channel.

  • As satellite communication technology with high efficiency and spatiality evolves, demands of customer for efficient and effective satellite broadcasting services are increasing due to interval reduction of the between satellites, and the limited radio-frequency spectrum resources. Recently, research on antenna that it possible to simultaneously receive multiple signal from various satellites while holding maintain the same number of previous reception channels by using the single reflector has been ongoing. It is necessary to be able to simultaneously receive signals from various satellites in order to maintain the same number of previous reception channels. We suggest a multiband antenna which can be simultaneously and independently receiving Ku band and Ka band satellite broadcasting signals transmitted by three adjacent satellites. We have designed and simulated using commercial design tools TICRA CHAMP and CST MWS to meet the target specifications. It appears that the antenna has -10 dB return loss, and more than 40 dBi directivity gain in Ku band and Ka band respectively.

  • Many lighthouses have been built for safety navigation of vessel, but the management of lighthouses had to paid for maintenance costs. For that reason, the remote control system for the lighthouse is to be used, but the communication expense is very expensive because of the use of satellite communication network or the RF communication network Also, the state of lighthouse is difficult to analyze as transmit only measured data. Therefore, this paper embodied the remote control system for the lighthouse using CDMA method, that was extended to island area and we verified the effectiveness of the proposed system.

  • Due to inaccurate safe navigation estimates, maritime accidents have been occurring consistently. In order to solve this, the precise positioning technology using carrier phase information is used, but due to high buildings near inland waterways or inclination, satellite signals might become weak or blocked for some time. Under this weak signal environment for some time, the GPS raw measurements become less accurate so that it is difficult to search and maintain the integer ambiguity of carrier phase. In this paper, a method to generate code and carrier phase measurements under this environment and maintain resilient navigation is proposed. In the weak signal environment, the position of the receiver is estimated using an inertial sensor, and with this information, the distance between the satellite and the receiver is calculated to generate code measurements using IGS product and model. And, the carrier phase measurements are generated based on the statistics for generating fractional phase. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, the proposed method was compared for a fixed blocked time. It was confirmed that in case of a weak or blocked satellite signals for 1 to 5 minutes, the proposed method showed more improved results than the inertial navigation only, maintaining stable positioning accuracy within 1 m.

  • In the maritime ships or airplanes, users should utilize the satellite channel in orer to use web service. However, the satellite channel is costly and does not give users satisfied response time. In the ship, the users may receive plenty of extra data when they obtain internet news. The extra data may be unnecessary image and advertise. Therefore, they should pay unnecessary data usage charges as well. In this paper, we suggest a proxy model that solves the problem of cost and speed. The proposed proxy reduces the of data through the satellite link by image and advertising blocking, caching, image re-requesting functions. It's performance was tested by a real satellite communication.

  • R-Mode is terrestrial based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) backup radio navigation technology which used existing maritime information service infrastructure. It has advantages on reduce the cost and reutilize the frequency resource. In this paper, we propose a method to develop a medium-frequency (MF) band R-Mode transmitting station by utilizing the currently operating Differential GNSS (DGNSS) reference station infrastructure. To this end, the considerations for co-operating the DGNSS reference station and the MF R-Mode transmitting station are analyzed. In this process, we also analyze what is necessary to configure the communication system as a navigation system for range measurement. Based on the analysis result, MF R-Mode transmitting station system is designed and architecture is proposed. The developed system is installed in the field, and the performance evaluation results is presented.

  • In this paper, we survey recent trends of International Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) organizations such as the International Committee on GNSS (ICG), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), International Maritime Organization (IMO), and International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and investigate their impact on the maritime and aviation sectors. Each international organization promotes international cooperation, improvement of service quality, assurance of security, compliance with international regulations, and technological innovation and development. ICG develops a variety of satellite navigation enhancement systems. ICAO establishes international aviation regulations and standards to enhance aviation safety and security. IMO establishes international shipping conventions and rules to protect and regulate the shipping environment. Lastly, ITU establishes international communication regulations and standards. Investigation of such international organizations plays an important role in increasing the efficiency and reliability of GNSS systems. Each international organization promotes international cooperation, improvement of service quality, assurance of security, compliance with international regulations, and technological innovation and development. In the future, interoperability and compatibility with new satellite navigation systems and other GNSS and satellite navigation enhancement systems must be secured, so and thus investigation of international organizations must be conducted first.

  • In terrestrial communications, high data rate transmission can be achieved by splitting the coverage area into small cells through base stations and reusing the resource efficiently. However, the geographical features of maritime communications require the long transmission range, and it is not practical to install base station on the sea to set up the similar deployment as the terrestrial communications, so MF/HF band modem with low data rate are currently utilized for maritime communications. And the expensive satellite communication via Inmarsat is the conventional solution for the high data rate transmission on the sea. To reduce the cost, Ad-hoc network is proposed to apply on the sea, which requires no base station for the peer-to-peer communications. In this paper, we denominate this maritime environment specific Ad-hoc network as Nautical Ad-hoc Network (NANET). Furthermore, the deployment scenario for the NANET, and the analysis on multiple access and duplexing schemes for the NANET are discussed in this paper, which serves as the cornerstone for the further NANET research and development.
