Abstract:
Disclosed is a communication method of a satellite and a ground station and apparatuses performing the same. The communication method includes transmitting a plurality of frames to a satellite based on a beam hopping time plan (BHTP) of the satellite and a ground station and synchronizing the BHTP based on an index of a frame received through a beam switching window (BSW) allocated to the ground station among the plurality of frames, and an identification value indicating at least one sub-frame included in the frame.

The ACM apparatus may include a receiving unit to receive a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a received signal, a determination unit to determine whether the SNR of the received signal is less than or equal to a threshold value, and a processing unit to execute a channel prediction algorithm when the SNR of the received signal is determined to be less than or equal to the threshold value.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a demodulation method to be used by an apparatus receiving a data packet transmitted in wired and wireless communications to recover data from a received signal. The apparatus receiving the data packet may recover or synchronize a symbol timing that is used to recover the data, and a demodulator included in the apparatus receiving the data packet may determine the symbol timing through different methods based on a length of a burst included in the data packet.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a network synchronization apparatus and method of a time division multiple access (TDMA)-based mesh network satellite communication system, the network synchronization method of a terminal in a satellite communication system including receiving timing error information from a central station, generating a mesh superframe start time (SST′) by reversing a sign of the timing error information, and receiving traffic information transmitted by a transmission terminal using the mesh SST′.
Abstract:
A control method of a satellite communication network controller is provided. The satellite communication network controller registers terminals included in a plurality of satellite communication networks. The satellite communication network controller receives first data transmitted by a first terminal from a first central station included in a first satellite communication network. The satellite communication network controller searches from the terminals, a second terminal which is a destination of the first data. The satellite communication network controller determines a second central station to receive the first data by using registered information of the second terminal. The satellite communication network controller transmits the first data to the second central station. The second central station is included in the second satellite communication network.
Abstract:
Provided is a system and method for synchronization between digital-to-analog converters (DAC) for high speed signal processing. A synchronization method of a multi-DAC apparatus may include: inputting a clock to a multiplexer (MUX) DAC; dividing the clock into a first clock and a second clock; transferring a phase difference between the first clock and the second clock to a D flip-flop; and synchronizing the first clock and the second clock by processing the phase difference.
Abstract:
A signal processing method, and a transmitter and a receiver are disclosed. The signal processing method may include converting a transmission signal to a non-periodic sequence type transmission signal using periodic sequences and transmitting the non-periodic sequence type transmission signal to the receiver, in which the receiver may detect a burst from the received non-periodic sequence type transmission signal.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a communication apparatus and a communication method capable of improving transmitting/receiving frequency efficiency of a satellite signal per bandwidth or spectral efficiency (S.E) per bandwidth by removing and improving a distortion or inter-symbol interference for applying a minimum-mean square error (MMSE) equalizer required to detect a frame synchronization and a modulation code rate in a satellite service for satellite broadcasting or communication under the variable coding and modulation (VCM) or adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) environment.
