Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to a random access method and apparatus based on analog network coding for a satellite network and, more particularly, to technology that combines analog network coding with random access, thus guaranteeing high channel usage efficiency upon utilizing the technology for a satellite positioning/communications convergence system. For this, a random access apparatus based on analog network coding for a satellite network according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a received signal determination unit, a data packet transmission unit, a reserved slot decision unit, a response message reception unit, and a data packet decoding unit.
